Edward Stubbs was fined 17th June 1857 for having caused a nuisance by removing manure and offensive matter at an unreasonable hour. A quantity of soil had been removed from the stables of the UNICORN by James Cutting, an employee of Stubbs, at between 10 and 11 on the morning of 4th June. Although William Amis, who assisted in loading the waggon, said he smelt nothing, a Mr. Bardwell said he had visited the yard to find the whole atmosphere of the locality pervaded by a very offensive odour. Cutting said that afterwards, he had gone to three other places to make up the load.
