On Tuesday 16th October 1855 an application to transfer the licence from Mr. Tidman to John Fuller, was refused on the grounds that the outgoing tenant had not paid the rates. The owner of the house, Mr. Seaman, refused to pay the tenant's debt and would appeal the licence refusal.
One of the magistrates, Mr. Palmer, said that he would be pleased to see Mr. Seaman in court to answer why brewers put tenants in their houses possessed of little money, yet took a bill of sale from them, and when they became insolvent took their goods so that other creditors had nothing.
