On the morning of 22nd August 1858 Sergeant Ireland and Constable Brown went to the house in search of a person called Graver. The house was closed and it took a full twenty minutes before licensee Burroughs answered the door. Announcing his reason for attending the house, Ireland was told that Graver was not there and Burroughs would see the magistrates and the police dead before he would open his door. Eventually letting in the police, it was then threatened that if Ireland went upstairs he would have his head broken with the wooden bar that Burroughs (Burrows) held in his hand. As Ireland got on the stairs he was pilled back and assaulted. After a search, Graver was found hiding in a closet but it was the licensee's son who stated the he had secreted Graver in and his father had no knowledge.
Before the magistrates on Saturday 4th September 1858, Mr Burroughes was fined a total of 38 shillings, including costs.
