In a letter dated 7th July 1856, Charles Mackney
responded to a statement made the previous week by Superintendent
English that the Exmouth Tavern was as disgraceful a house as any in
the city. Mackney protested that his house was carried on
respectably and very different to many Norwich houses. No gambling
or vice was encouraged and his livelihood was obtained by
perseverance, hard work, playing musical instruments and singing,
every evening, to his customers.
He only allowed the working classes to be present as a recreation
from the toils of the day.
He found Mr. English unjust in trying to deprive him of his living
and to defame his character, which had never before been tainted.
Not found after 1856.
