David Tatum, boots, and Thomas Rutland, labourer, committed a breach of the peace by fighting on the premises on 7th April 1868. Each were fined 5s with 6s 6d costs.


Mr. Mahon provided a dinner in excellent style, Monday, 18th  June 1870, for the firm of Messrs. Thew & Son, with their wives and friends, celebrating their annual wayzgoose. ( A celebration normally held by printers in Autumn when the waze, or stubble was still in the ground, and at which feast, a goose was the head dish.)


``Piggies Paradise is open every Saturday night in the Blue Room for Dining & Dancing until nearly midnight'' as advertised 1967.
