The license of the Jolly Butchers, a beerhouse at Clapgate, Albury was considered.
The house belongs to Messrs E K & H Fordham, of Ashwell. The house was doing an average trade for the past three years of 144 barrels and 82 dozen per annum.
The present licensee, Mr Arthur John Chipperfield, handed in a petition signed by 41 persons using the house asking for a renewal of the license.
Supt Hassell stated that the Royal Oak was 125 yards south of the Jolly Butchers, and the Catherine Wheel 892 yards north. Albury has one public house to every 101 inhabitants, whilst the average for the division was one to every 126 inhabitants.
It was referred to the compensation authority and renewal was refused.
