On 6th April
1894, John Todd was charged of buying clothes from a soldier
on 11th February.
The clothing consisted of an overcoat
and a pair of mitts.
Upon paying costs of £1 3s 6d, the
charge was dismissed on account that Mr. Todd was unaware he
was breaking the law. |

HART
in 1794
The General Court Baron of Henry Howard, Esquire was held here Saturday
7th November 1818 and again Wednesday 19th May 1819. Henry Utting named
at the house each time.
Albert Rix was born at the White Hart 18th August 1877, his mother was Louisa Rix (nee Lawrence)
On Tuesday 7th August 1882 John Rix was charged with manslaughter.
On 4th February 1882 Rix was returning to Poringland from Norwich with
Robert Taylor as passenger. At Bracondale the cart was in collision with
a cab and both Rix and Taylor were thrown from the transport, the latter
receiving a blow to the head as he fell. Taken to hospital, Taylor died
there as a result of a fractured skull.
Rix was accused of furious driving. Witnesses thought him to be sober.
He said that just before the accident he had been distracted by his
greyhound trying to leave the cart. He had stooped down to restrain the
animal and when he looked up he saw the oncoming cab. His avoiding
measures were too late.
The verdict of Not Guilty was received with loud applause.
On Friday 10th November 1907 it was heard that Mr. Elijah Josh gained
the licence in April 1906, but on 10th June 1907 he had left the house and
had gone to Birkenhead. He had not returned. The licence was transferred
to Mrs. Josh.
