Slaugham Houses - Two beerhouses at Slaugham had been referred by the renewal authority.
The Sun Dial was a beerhouse on Slaugham Common. The premises were an old farmhouse and only one room in the premises was licensed.The room was 14 feet by 9 feet 6 inches, and the height was 6 feet 9 inches. The Sun Dial was 506 yards from the White Horse Inn, which was fully licensed, and 650 yards from the Carpenters Arms. There were only seven inhabited houses within a quarter of a mile radius of the Sun Dial. The trade done was very small indeed, the customers averaging from four to six daily. The Carpenters Arms was a small cottage. It had a bar 15 feet 6 inches by 12 feet and there was a big window in the bar 8 feet long and 3 feet 6 inches wide. There was also a bar parlour 14 feet by 12 feet. Witnesses believed it was an old ante-1869 beerhouse. There were 28 inhabitated houses within a radius of a quarter of a mile from the Carpenters Arms. The witnesses opinion the White Horse was sufficient for the needs of the neighbourhood.
The Sun Dial had been the property of Mr Smith for many years and it was a feee house.
The customers at the Gardeners ? Arms numbered about 10 to 12 daily. He had been told that about six years ago a sum of £100 was spent on the Carpenters Arms. He knew Mr Boniface the tenant of the Carpenters Arms.
The tenants of both houses did other work. Mr Smith being a farmer and Mr Boniface a labourer.
It was stated that last year 34 barrels of beer were sold at the Sun Dial, and 43 at the Carpenters Arms, 170 dozen of bottle beer also being sold at the latter house.
Mr Edmund Smith said he was the tenant for life of the Sun Dial property under the will of his uncle, the late Mr Thomas Mitchell. The witness had been there for 31 years, and he had a number of regular customers.
Mr Harry Boniface said he had been the landlord of the Carpenters Arms for six or seven years. A large sum of money was spent on the premises at the time he entered the tenancy.
The magistrates decided that the Sun Dial would be renewed, but the Carpenters Arms would be refised.
