	On Monday 17th August 1857 it was heard that the spirit licence for the house had expired in October 1855. John Hughes, officer of excise, accused Mr. Bishop of selling gin on 14th July 1857. The accused said he had kept gin in the house for his wife who had fallen down stairs and had no recollection of selling it to anyone. Liable to a fine of £50, the magistrates said it was in their power to mitigate the penalty to one fourth.

It was reported 12th January 1867 that High street porter Matthew Walker was sentenced to 21 days detention, with hard labour, for striking landlady Blanche Olley.

Lodger John T Day was accused of beating landlady
Emma Green according to the Lynn Advertiser of 2nd March 1903.
On 21st February 1903 the defendant had apparently returned to the house, drunk, at 11pm.
He had gone directly upstairs and had got into bed with two little boys who slept in the same room. He had struck one of the boys.
Mrs Green had told Day that he must leave the house the next day and claimed that Day then struck her three times.
He claimed that he had been hit in the eye by Mrs Green and had only pushed her away. Mrs Green said that Day had been a lodger since July 1902 and had seldom come home sober - he did not drink at the Fox & Hounds.
It was revealed by the Chief Constable that Day had been in court on eight previous occasions and had been sent to gaol for neglecting to maintain his family, and for theft.
Found guilty he was fined 10/- with 6/- costs or 14 days hard labour.
Defendant : `I'll take the 14 days, sir.'
