William Carsey Kett was to appear at the Court House, Norwich Castle on 31st July 1837 as an Insolvent Debtor. Before being publican here at the White Hart he had been a Tanner at North Denes and before that a Tavern Keeper in Charlotte Street.

On the night of Friday 22nd April 1853, William Lacey, a militiaman, complained to the police that he had been turned out of his lodgings and returning with a constable, was again refused entry since it was said that he had not gone to his lodgings alone, but introduced a regiment as numerous as the militia. The officer of the company did not wish to press for the full penalty which was £5. Richard Turner was fined £2 10s on Saturday 23rd April 1853 for refusing to give accommodation to a soldier.
