At the magistrates court on Monday 18th March 1867 it was heard that persons were in the house until four a.m. on Saturday 16th March. Constable O'Donnell had entered the house at one a.m. and found three men, one of whom was secreted in a back room. They were said to be lodgers. The policeman left the premises, but waited outside. Two of the said lodgers then exited the premises, but returned when they saw O'Donnell waiting outside.
A while later the constable heard a noise in the adjoining brothel and he saw three men within it, `tossing' for beer. He then witnessed landlord Hubbard carry beer to the brothel three times. Peeping through a keyhole, the officer witnessed the men drinking.
Christopher Hubbard was fined 20s and costs, or one month's hard labour for having his house open at illegal hours and to supplying beer to the adjoining brothel.

The following day, Mr. Hubbard was charged with assaulting his tenant, Sarah Smith, who ran the adjoining brothel. She had got into arrears with her rent and had been put into distress, which had led to words and eventually Christopher Hubbard struck her. He also was said to have beat her young son.
He was fined 10s and costs or fourteen day's hard labour.

At the licence transfer sessions Friday 18th May 1906, there was no objection to the transfer of the beerhouse licence from mother to son and it was commented that the public could see from the outside what could be purchased on the inside.

On Friday 2nd August 1907 a fire broke out in the roof. Hoses were run from the standpoint on Fuller's Hill and firemen attacked the crackling and blazing rafters. Inspector Herring, Sergeant Burgess and Police-constable Neal did extremely good work in tackling the flames, even mounting onto the roof, although they could not stand on their precarious perch for long. Although the roof was considerably damaged, the rest of the house only suffered from water.

A notice was published 7th August 1926 informing any person due compensation from the closure of the premises, to make their claim by 30th August 1926.
