One area sold was 21 rods and included some of the new 26ft wide road known as Devonshire Street. Another area of 14 rods was included in the sale.
 All buildings lately built on the each site also included.
 (Three dwellings and other buildings on the first site and two dwellings on the second.)

In court Wednesday 14th December 1859, licensee Robert Mitchley pleaded guilty to having his house open out of hours on the previous Sunday evening. The policeman had found four men and one woman drinking beer, in the kitchen, at a quarter-past twelve. Mitchley said at the time ` I am glad you have come, because I cannot get rid of my company'.
Total fine, including costs of 12s 6d.

At the Annual Licensing Meeting Tuesday 4th September 1860, it was heard that Robert Mitchley had been fined during the previous year for keeping his house open on Sundays (at illegal hours).
He did not appear when called and it was discovered that he no longer ran the house.

Licence cancelled at Annual Licensing Meeting 28.08.1866.

Full licence granted Tuesday 25th August 1868 to Charles Stebbings.

Licence renewal opposed August 1891 on the grounds that it was not required. The Chairman could see no reason why this particular house had been selected from those in the immediate area.
