Thought to be a different house from that shown by Ninham as being just within St. Martins
Gate.
On Wednesday 14th August, 1839, Daniel Howlett as brought up for examination
on the charge of allowing meetings of Chartists in his house, at which pikes
were raffled for. Thomas Druery, a weaver, said he was "President of a Club
of the Democratic Section", comprising about 20 members, which met at the
house; he had seen pikes at the house, but only once, and Howlett was not
present, and they had not been raffled for in that room. Howlett was held to
bail, with two sureties bound for him.
The licence was dropped 1871 (by F. L. Scotter) but taken up again by Benjamin Bates in
October of that year.
Before the Norwich Election Commission, Friday 17th September 1875,
Christopher Sayer confirmed that the Liberals had hired a committee-room
from him and paid £2 2s. About six messengers used the room and took out
circulars and placards. He was asked to find ten men to act as `watchers'.
Of the men he found, five were not voters. He claimed that he had never
heard that messengers were corruptly employed in the 1874 election.
Licence provisionally refused 09.02.1909 and referred to Compensation.
Closed under Compensation 29.01.1910
Note :-
The Licence Registers show 2 houses in Oak Street operating as the
ANGEL.
Consequently licensees pre 1867 may be transposed.
