At the magistrates hearing of Friday 19th January 1912 it was heard that Police Constable Baker had witnessed the playing of nine-pins, with beer as the prize on 30th December. Mr. Watts was represented by his wife, who pleaded guilty. This was exactly the same offence as had been committed at the nearby NEW INN and so the fine was the same. The Chairman said that should the offence be repeated then the fine would be much heavier.
