John Roe complained to the Norfolk Chronicle, 17th April 1852, that contrary to a report in the newspaper the previous week, there had been no disturbance at the house and that he would never allow disorderly company in the house.
(It turns out that the disturbance occurred at the MARKET HOUSE, Weavers Lane.)

On Tuesday 15th March 1853, 20 year old Samuel Read was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour for stealing a quantity of lead pipe and five brass taps from the cellar of the Yarmouth Arms. The items were the property of Elizabeth Turner who had recently vacated the premises and the wife of the new occupier, Mrs Susan Tilney, had seen them on 10th March. The following day, the cellar was found to be full of water and the pipe had been wrenched from the wall. Read was arrested having sold the pipe to a marine store dealer, named Parker.
In spite of Mr. Tilney being listed at the Yarmouth Arms in the 1854 trades directory, Mr. Edward Kulikowski, Polish Refugee, informed his Friends and the Public, 8th October 1853 , that he had taken the Inn.

For Sale by Auction Thursday, 25th June 1857.
Described with frontages to both Pudding Lane and next St. Peter's Church Alley. In occupation, under lease, of (brewer) Mr. Robert Seaman at the low annual rent of £25.

On Wednesday 7th September 1864, Mr. Whale (also reported as Whall), attended the magistrates court accused of short changing customer Joseph Leverett. The case had been adjourned from the previous day so that the accused could provide a witness. However the accuser did not appear on the second day and in his absence the case was dismissed.
