It was reported 1st March 1867 that Mr. Lowder had assaulted John Wells on the 18th April 1867. Mr. Wells had attempted to seize money due for Her Majesty's Taxes, but Lowder had blocked his entrance and ejected him. It transpired that Mr. Lowder had paid the taxes some seventy-five minutes before the arrival of Mr. Wells. At the hearing Monday 27th May 1867 the Chairman said that the completed payment could have easily been explained or receipts be shown. The events were deemed unjustifiable and Mr. Lowder was fined a total of 13s 6d including costs. Mr. Louder was fined 5s with costs, on Monday 31st January 1870, having been charged by Weights and Measures Inspector, Superintendent Blomfield, of having four earthenware mugs of defective measure. He was further charged with having a tin can, purporting to hold one gallon, but found to be half a pint short and to having a further two defective earthen mugs. Fined 10s and costs. He was warned that a fine of 5s a mug would be imposed if they appeared again. At the Petty Sessions of 26th August 1870, John Louder was accused of being unlawfully in search of game on 24th July 1870. He had been found by Police Constable Empson on the highway, with 2 dogs, a bag and a net at 3:30 am. The net was wet and the dogs were panting hard. The Bench thought it a highly suspicious set of circumstances. The defendant admitted the circumstances but denied the construction put on them. Unfortunately the defendant had been before the Bench 5 times previously. He was given the choice of a 5/- fine and costs of 10s 6d or prison for 3 months. Louder paid the fine. Application made Monday 31st August 1874 for a spirit licence. The Bench deemed the idea to be entirely unnecessary and refused to grant it. The house was `almost surrounded ' by the LORD NELSON according to a report dated 13.02.1904.
Licence surrendered 1957 upon the opening of the HENRY IV, Greenway Lane, Fakenham. |
