A sale of properties in Emneth, Elm and Outwell
took place here
on Monday 22nd May 1809, house then described as the WHITE SWAN.
On Monday 13th June 1899, Alfred May was accused by Police-constable
Brighty of being open for the sale of beer at 10:30 p.m. on 31st May.
Two persons, Pipe and Smith were found on the premises by the constable
and both had a tankard of beer.
It turned out that Mr. Edward Cable Pipe, architect's assistant, had
arrived with plans for renovation of the house and sought the opinion of
the licensee as to how much the brewers, Messrs Hogge & Seppings, would
give for the work. Mr. Smith had arrived to do private business with the
landlord, in part to settle a bill and secondly to sell him a canary.
Both men had arrived before closing time and the front door to the house
was locked at 10:00 p.m.
Upon arrival, Pipe had purchased a half-tankard of beer and sat in the
private quarters, May had then given him another one. Robert Henry
Smith, grocer of Outwell had also purchased a beer before the closing
hour and had been shown into the private quarters to settle his
business. There he was treated to another, which Miss May asked him to
have at her father's expense.
Charges were withdrawn and the case dismissed.
