The licensee from Christmas 1793 was Isaac Saint. He was arrested 8th May 1794 and taken to London to be questioned in the Whitehall Council Chamber by a Privy Council formed of the Lord Chancellor, 2 Dukes, 2 Earls, 2 Lords, the Secretary of State and the Attorney and Secretary General. The reason for the questioning was that a United Society, for the purpose of Parliamentary reform, met at the Pelican.
Saint admitted to be secretary to the club and was detained for at least 2 months. No record found of his return to Norwich.
(This was at the time of the French Revolution and it seems the Government was nervous. Saint had admitted that similar societies met at the LYON, St. Pauls, at the TYGER, the CHEQUERS and the GLOBE in St. Martins, also at the ROYAL OAK, the BOAR and the SHAKESPEARE in St. Michaels. The QUEEN OF HUNGARY in St Swithins and the FORTUNE OF WAR in St. Edmunds were also named.)

In December 1814, Ann Smith was charged by Thomas Algar, publican of St. George's, of stealing two sheets on 13th December. She was committed to the City Gaol.

The PEACOCK is named in Steward & Patteson records dated 1837 to 1851 as a freehold property, owned by Steward, Patteson & Steward.
The name PELICAN is however inserted beside PEACOCK
