| SUNDAY TRADING On Monday 8th December 1856, Samuel Denton, general shopkeeper and landlord of the Salvage Boat, was charged with selling small articles of consumption, on the afternoon of the previous Sunday. Denton admitted the charge, but said he saw no wrong in serving a customer with Scotch butter or half-an-ounce of tobacco, when he was allowed to sell beer. The Mayor remarked that selling various articles under the shelter of his licence to sell alcoholic drinks, was unfair to other tradesmen. Denton promised not to offend again and was discharged upon paying court fees. This was the first such case in Gorleston and the first case in Yarmouth had come to the same conclusion. The magistrates had doubts about the decision and the Mayor wished it to be known that fines would be imposed on any future cases. |
