I Samuel Waters, the Secretary and General Manager of the Ipswich and Suffolk Coffee Public House Company Limited, do hereby give notice that it is my intention to apply to the General Licensing Meeting, for a license to keep a public Billiard Table or Bagatelle Board, at the house known as the Berners Arms, in St Mathew’s Street, Ipswich and which premises the said Ipswich and Suffolk Coffee Public House Company (Limited) are the owners and occupiers. Ipswich Journal, Aug 1880**
There were objections from several licensed victuallers to the application for a license for a billiard table or bagatelle board at the Berners Arms, their argument was that there was a good table at the Victoria, nearby, and down the street at the Crown and Anchor…
