When, on 7th January 1850, accused of selling out of hours, John Stafford said that he had kept a public house for nineteen years and always kept it open until ten o'clock. He claimed to be unaware that the four or five persons drinking in the house at eleven o'clock in the morning were a breaking of the law.
