At the September 1863 Licensing Sessions John Burrows of St Clements was summoned before the magistrates to answer questions regarding licence renewal, since there was a conviction against the house.
The conviction papers should have read John Thomas Burrows, the John Burrows who was summoned to appear before the magistrates was from another house in St. Clements.
When it was heard that J. T. Burrows had actually left the house and there was no other applicant, the application was struck out.
The Mr. John Burrows who turned up complained that his character had been injured and his time had been sacrificed. Several magistrates said his day's expenses should be paid.

(With some 40 licensed houses in St. Clements the location of the unfortunate Mr. J. Burrows is as yet unidentified.)

On Thursday 9th February 1905 the Chief Constable objected to licence renewal owing to the back doors opening into enclosed yards common to other tenements.
However the objection was withdrawn since alterations had already been made to alleviate the problem. The licence was granted.
