Mr Tricker applied for a full licence Tuesday 6th September 1859 but did not attend the magistrates hearing and so it was refused.

For sale by auction Thursday 24th January 1867 at the instruction of the Executors of the late Frederick Stanford Esq.
` A good Brewer's house in occupation of Mr. George Lawson.'

On Friday 14th April 1905, William Reeve said his rent was £15, but he paid rates at £24.

On Friday 18th May 1906 it was heard that the late tenant, Leonard Sproule was in the north of England and could not be contacted. Since George Seaman had been turned out, there had been a succession of tenants who could not make a living. Seaman had however been successful and only left because his wife had died in the house.
William Reeve was ejected because he had not paid rent and the bailiffs had to be put in.
According to the courts records, Crowe had held the temporary licence for 6* weeks and previous to that the last transfer of licence was on 30th March 1905. <Temporary transfer to William Reeve?>
