J. THOMPSON, Moulders' Arms

Turk's Head Yard.

The licence was objected to for allowing prostitutes in 

his house. P.S. Keefe said he had visited the house and

found prostitutes along with soldiers there. He did not 

summon them. P.C. Williams said he had been there

several times previous and had found prostitutes, but

they were perfectly quiet.

The licence was granted.
