On Saturday 8th April 1865, the trustees of James Harvey, for the
benefit of his creditors, sought to recover £14 1s 4d, for beer and cash
advanced to Mr. Matthew Smith of Forncett St. Peter. The case broke down
when the legal representative for Mr. Harvey stated, for the sake
of justice, that he had to declare that he had been entirely deceived by
his client!
The result was a non-suit, with costs awarded against Mr. Harvey.
Landlord Robert Keeler provided refreshments at Tharston, `to the men of the late Mr
Becket, for the total sum of 2/8d' on 31st August 1896. Mr Barnard paid the sum at the
time.
Robert Keeler committed suicide by hanging Wednesday 1st July 1903.
He was said to be depressed and had said that his landlords had not treated
him well. He was found hanging in the skittle ground. A letter found on him
contained "Messrs. Steward and Patteson caused me to kill myself". Verdict
of the inquest: Suicide by hanging whilst in an unsound state of mind.
43 barrels of beer sold in final year of trading -
plus 22 (barrels) of bottled beer.
