Mrs. Court, The Oxford, begs to inform her Customers that she has discontinued giv- ing the £5 a year to the Institutions' for the good of the Town, as she had previously done for the last 14 years as a mark of the good reputation of the House, the reason for so cancelling being the treatment she re- ceived at the hands of the Borough Bench in September last, when a Fine of 40s. was imposed, besides breaking the good record of 45 years of the House, because she allowed her Son-in-law (whose child she has adopted) and his Pal to stay 15 minutes after time chatting (not drinking).
