John Hicks of the Castle Ditches had been in custody twelve times between September 1843 and March 1849. He was a constant frequenter of public-houses and when in liquor, was usually violent. On the morning of Monday 22nd April 1850 he was drinking at the Shoulder of Mutton, when he used threatening language against landlady Rose Sawyer and struck her. In the evening he went on to the CHEQUERS in Pump Street and caused further violence - At the hearing Tuesday 23rd April 1850 the prisoner was ordered to pay 8s 6d for the assault on Mrs. Sawyer, with no further charges or fines being recorded. See CHEQUERS. Licence renewed at Sessions held 19th August 1862.
One of several houses where the licensee had been proceeded against during the year. The offences, for which summonses had been issued were either for selling beer out of hours, for allowing gambling or for permitting persons of bad character to assemble.
(Nature of offence at this house not specified in report.)

Edwin Dawes made an application, on Monday 24th August 1891, for a music and singing licence in the bar where a melodeon was played on Monday and Saturday nights. The application was opposed since the bar opened up onto the street and only afforded accommodation for fifteen to twenty people.
The Bench refused the application.
