It was reported that the conviction in September 1874 was the first case heard in Norwich, under the New Licensing Act (Section 12). In accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Magistrates inspected the Register of Licenses to ascertain if there had been previous convictions against the house. None were found and it was declared that no record of this conviction was to be made.
Under the old Act, the minimum fine that could be inflicted by the Bench was 20s.

 

It was advised 29th August 1727 that Samuel and John Fell, barley buyers, had removed from the CHRISTOPHER to the BUSHEL & COMP POT, the house of Mr. Fiddyman.

Seemingly the same as the
