On 29th April 1853, cordwainer Edward Bartram fell asleep in the
house. In court on Wednesday 29th June, 44 year old James McGowen was
found guilty of stealing a purse, containing 15s 6d from Mr. Bartram as
he slept.
Upon sentencing Bartram to six months' imprisonment with hard labour,
the Chairman refused to award any expenses to Mrs. Freeman since she had
been warned that a man was in her house, drunk, asleep and liable to be
robbed.
The Chairman also said that he would recommend the district magistrates
to discontinue the licence of the house. (This seems not to have
resulted in a loss of licence)

On Thursday 14th May 1896, licensee Cubitt Dix brought action against
labourer John Bean for a debt of 9s 1d which had been incurred over the
past fifteen months for tobacco, beer and cigars. The items had been
`put on the slate' and Bean had continuously promised to settle the
debt, but had failed to do so.
His Honour ordered that the debt be repaid in monthly installments of 2s.

On Sunday 26th August 1900, Police-constable Crane discovered the front
door shut, but not locked,
at 11:30am. Inside he found the landlord, Mr. Lancum and James
Beck, landlord of the
UNICORN, each had a
glass of beer before them. Beck claimed that he had come to borrow a
bottle of whisky. There was some dispute as to if the beer had been
given freely by Mr. Lancum or if Beck had paid for it.
On Tuesday 4th August 1900, the Bench believed the beer had been paid for
and fined each party 1s and 4s costs.
~
Youngs, Crawshay & Youngs posted (10 October 1908) a Postal Order to the value
