On Monday 12th February 1883 William Pikett, the licensee of the BLACK HORSE at Barroway Drove, charged James Hunter of entering his house and committing an assault. After somewhat conflicting evidence about ill-feeling between the two and two other customers, it turned out that Hunter had been hit by Pikett with a piece of wood. Pickett was then charged with assault on Hunter. The Bench found in favour of Pikett and thought his actions were in self-defence. Hunter was fined £1 and 20/6d costs. The second charge of assault by Pikett on Hunter was dismissed. Closure agreed at the First Joint Committee Meeting of Bullards and Steward & Patteson, 29th May 1962. Sales then given as 50 barrels. The house survived until 1966. Sales given as 51¼ barrels for the year immediately prior to
closure. |
