In two cases only, viz., the "Rose and Crown," Culvert
Road, and the "Black Swan," York Road, had the Justices
decided to renew the licence without enforcing the Vestry's
requirements. In these two cases the licences had been
previously opposed by the Vestry upon several occasions, and
the Justices had viewed the premises and subsequently
renewed the licences, each year the opposition had been placed
before them, but as reported on the 15th March, the Justices had

Swan," they renewed the licence without comment, whilst in the

without requiring urinal accommodation to be provided.
In respect of the "Collingwood Arms," Plough Road, and the
"Royal Arms," Battersea Park Road, the Justices having viewed

urinals were enlarged within a reasonable time. With regard to
the "Eagle," Battersea Park Road, which they had also visited,
they decided to renew the licence subject to proper urinal
accommodation being provided. The "Waterman's Arms,"
Nine Elms Lane. Here also the Justices had viewed the
premises and renewed the licence subject to the urinal which

Stewarts Road. This case had been adjourned for a copy of the
plan submitted to and approved by the Health Committee to be

licence was renewed on condition that the Vestry's requirements

the Health Committee, the opposition was withdrawn and the
