In the Magistrates Court on Wednesday 27th February 1864, Sergeant Kirk stated that at twenty minutes to eleven on the morning of Sunday 31st January, he entered the house and found two persons smoking and drinking. Licensee Kent said that it was his housekeeper who had drawn the beer for two of his lodgers and he was not on the premises at the time.
In consideration of his previous eight years at the house without complaint, he was fined 1s and costs.

The licence was provisionally removed to Charles Kent in August 1886, to a house rebuilt partially on the original site, but also on adjoining land.

Licence provisionally refused 14.02.1939 and referred to Compensation.
Closed under Compensation 23.12.1939.
