| Fined 40s on Monday 17th December 1855
for having soldiers playing cards and drinking in his house between
midnight and one o'clock on Sunday morning. |
On 14th December 1855, the Mayor and magistrates issued a notice:-
It had come to the attention of the magistrates that certain
publicans and beerhouse keepers had harboured soldiers not billeted
upon them, also allowed billeted soldiers, to continue drinking and
tippling to late hours, when many disorders had arisen. To stop
such practices, after the above date, any house that allowed
billeted or non-billeted soldiers to remain in the drinking room of
the house, after eight thirty at night, would be considered to have
committed an offence for which his licence may be forfeited.
Existing provisions under Acts of Parliament would be strictly
enforced.
The instruction came about, following a report from a Sergeant, that
every soldier was bound to be in bed, when in barracks, by half past
eight o'clock in the winter and at a quarter past nine o'clock in
the summer.
