Permitting Drunkenness.—John Brewis, publican, John Bull Inn, Howie Street, Alnwick, was charged with permitting drunkenness on his premises on the night of Wednesday the 3rd inst. Mr Middlemas appeared for the defence. Joseph Mattison deposed that about 6 o'clock on the evening in question he went into the John Bull Inn. William Collins, and John Collins, went into the room with him. He called for a gallon of ale and paid 2s for it. He also had two glasses of whisky, for which he pail 6d. He did not remember anything more. When be came to his senses, he was in a cell in the lock-up. He was at other public-bouses before be went to the John. Bull. He was at Shepherd's, and had one glass of whisky there, but he had a good deal of drink before he went to the John Bull Inn, and the others also had drink in the same way and were in the same state.— Being cross-examined, he said he was not drunk when he went into the John Bull. He could not tell any thing that happened after he left, nor could be tell at what time be left —P.-C. Hugh Connell deposed that on Wednesday evening, the 3rd inst., he found the last witness helplessly drunk near the foot of Howick Street and took him to the police station. He went to the John Bull where he saw Mrs Brewis and charged her with giving the men drink till they were in a helpless state and the man he had bad to lock up was almost dead. She said, "he must have got drink elsewhere; they had been at Mr Shepherd's." She further said that she filled them two half-gallons: one of which they drank, and the other they left behind. when charged with giving drink to men in such a state, she said, "they must have got drink before they came there," —Wm Collins was also found drunk in that street.—Mr Middlemas contended that the Act of Parliament must be construed very strictly arid that the case was not made out sufficiently to justify a conviction under the statute.—The bench decided that as it was evident the men had got drunk before, and aid been further supplied with drink to such a extent as to render them incapable, there must be a conviction. They inflicted a penalty - of £10 and coats, and ordered the conviction to be endorsed on defendant's license.

ALNWICK BREWSTER SESSIONSThe annual licensing meeting for the East Division of Coquetdale Ward was held at the Justice Room, Alnwick, on Saturday. The magistrates present were Major S. F. Widdrington (Chairman), Mr. T. Tate, Mr. T. W. Craster, Mr. C. Riddell, and Mr. T. H. Jobling. Superintendent James Miller submitted his report, which stated that there were in the Ward 63 full licenses, 3 beer on, 3 beer off, 6 beer and spirits off, 2 wine and spirits off, and 1 sweets and wine off, a total of 81, an average of one license to about 270 persons—the population of the division being 21,875. During the year one beer house license, "The Star," Embleton, was refused. 244 persons were proceeded against, and 236 convictions for drunkenness in 1902, a decrease of 34 proceeded against and 38 convicted in 1901.
Six license holders, four in Alnwick, one at Radcliffe, and one at Amble, had been fined for offences against the Licensing Act; and three had been served as follows:—On Jane Smails, Craster, beer shop keeper, for the premises not having been occupied for several months since January, 1902, and the license not being required in the district; William John McNally, " John Bull " Inn, Alnwick ; and Ralph Rickaby, "Phoenix" Inn, Alnwick, whose licensed premises did not permit of proper police , supervision, through the back doors leading to the premises being kept locked. The Chairman in his remarks said that so much attention had been given to the rather uncertain state of the licensing question, and the views in the place upon the subject were divergent. Of course there was an opinion very prevalent, that by restricting the number of licenses they would diminish drunkenness. Drink was a hydra-headed monster which they wished to get rid of, and if they could kill it by restricting the number of licenses it would be a very simple matter. They had. however, met with many curious difficulties. There had been a large chart published of England in which places where drunkenness was most frequent were marked in one colour and others marked differently. In the places marked black it was expected they would find the number of public houses excessive, and where marked white that there were none. The reverse however, happened to be the case, for in the places marked black the number of public-houses was restricted, and where marked white the places were very fully licensed. There was a very good opinion stated in the report of the Royal Commission, presided over by Lord Peel. They went thoroughly into this question, and the result of their enquiries was that they failed to trace any ratio between the number of public-houses and the cases of drunkenness, therefore, when they were told by the authorities if they were to restrict the number of houses they would reduce drunkenness they were met with difficulties. They (the magistrates) had had prepared returns of the public-houses in this district and of the population. and comparing them with the cases of drunkenness in the neighbourhood they did not find the number of public-houses in the district to be at all excessive, except perhaps in the case of Embleton, where there appeared to be more houses than the needs of the population required. Under the circumstances the Bench did not think it necessary to take any definite action. A very opposite opinion had been taken by a number of places. There was another thing, the Licensing Act laid more stringent duties upon the police as to the watching or supervision of public-houses. There were certain public-houses situated in remote parts of the town in unfrequented thoroughfares which made police supervision almost impossible. If in the course of this next year any general standard of the ratio of public-houses and of the population was arrived at. or a general consensus of opinion of what the number should lie and average, it would be necessary to move up into line with authorities of neighbouring districts, but in the meantime they would let things go on as they were, and holding the balance as fair as they could. Besides public-bouses situated in unfrequented thoroughfares in the town, any isolated public houses in the country where there was little traffic he thought they were very likely to be considered. Mr. Charles Percy, solicitor, Alnwick, representing several of the owners and publicans, explained that the White Hart, Alnwick, had obtained a new tenant, that the causes of objection to the two houses in Alnwick had been removed, and that there was need for the off license at Craster for summer visitors.—Supt. Miller withdrew his objection to the Alnwick public-houses, and all the licensed were renewed.
