In 1868 there was a `Purse Club' held at the Star Inn, but before twelve months had elapsed it had been amalgamated with the newly formed `Rockland Star Brotherly Love Society'.
Messrs Steward & Patteson acted as treasurers of the Society, offering 4 per cent interest  and allowed withdrawals whenever required.
45 year old Benjamin Blake, butcher by trade, was secretary to the Society and upon the instruction of the committee, was instructed several times, to make withdrawals.
On 24th December 1868 a withdrawal of £10 was authorised and on 23rd April 1870, the sum of £5. On the first occasion Blake withdrew £20 and on the second, £12.
By October 1871, Blake was accused of `sticking' to about £60.
On Tuesday 2nd January 1872 Blake was sentenced to eighteen months' hard labour.

On Friday 17th April 1903 Horace Freestone applied for the licence to be transferred from William Porter. For the magistrates, Lord Lindley found fault with the documentation presented and refused the application.
