HENRY GALLEY 1855

 

On Wednesday 6th June 1855, Henry Galley was charged of selling beer on 12th February, without having a licence to do so.
Witness John Whiteman had entered the house, believing it to be a licensed one, it being known by the ludicrous sign of the "Eel's Foot". He was served a pint of beer by Mrs. Galley and charged 2d.
There were a number of other persons drinking in the house.
It was said that the house was regularly open on a Sunday when licensed houses were required by law to be closed.
The magistrates fined Mr. Galley the mitigated penalty of £5 and £1 2s 6d costs.
