On Monday 31st July 1882 William Ward was accused of allowing drunkenness on his premises. P.C. Allcock had entered the house at about eight o'clock on the evening of 15th July and found Thomas Porter, of Southery, very drunk and using bad language. At about ten o'clock the constable saw Porter being put into a cart by Ward.
It was heard that Porter was already drunk when he entered the house at about seven o'clock. He was only served pop and soda water whilst he was at the Bell. A witness stated that he had seen Ward drinking something like ginger beer.
Case dismissed.
