On Tuesday 26th June 1849, Leonard Brooke appeared to answer the charge that he had suffered gambling on his premises in the form of skittles. Brooke admitted the charge and confirmed that the offence would not occur again since he had put the skittles to the flames. He then presented a petition signed by the inhabitants, which spoke highly of him and general good order of the house.
The penalty was mitigated to 10s and costs which was immediately paid.

 

It was reported 12th January 1861 that George Pooley (21) labourer pleaded guilty to obtaining by false pretences, two pints of beer and one quarter of rum, the property of Mr Robert Riches at West Dereham – one month imprisonment with hard labour.
