At the Petty Sessions held Monday 21st September 1863 John Metcalf of Wellesley Street was accused of an assault, the previous Wednesday, on Mrs Blanche Olley, the wife of the landlord.  He claimed he had merely pushed Mrs. Olley and she had fallen. The case was dismissed.
Mrs Olley was then accused of an assault on Mrs Frances Bloch from evidence given by Mr. Metcalf. (Son-in-law of Mrs. Bloch).
The latter case was proved and costs of 13s 6d were imposed.

At the Lynn Petty Sessions Monday 13th June 1870, Harriett Adderson accused George Strangleman, a butcher and dealer from Fakenham, of indecently exposing himself in the tap room on 6th June. There was a further charge of refusing to leave the house on the 7th June.
On Monday 20th June 1870, the charges were dismissed since the parties "had come to an agreement".
