TitleAppeal (August) by John Hodson, Warboys, victualler against the refusal of two St. Ives Magistrates the Revd. W. Finch and Revd. James Linton to grant him a licence for exciseable liquors to be drunk on his premises the Royal Oak.
DescriptionHe points out that such licence has been granted for two years, that he has been convicted of no offence and that the Royal Oak has been licensed for 40 years. The licence was refused because of the complaint of the policeman at Warboys, John Smith, about brawling on the premises, tippling all day long and fiddling and dancing until after midnight; assaults on himself; absence of the licensee for months together and indifference of his wife towards the law; the inn a resort for Susan Taylor, Sarah Thody and Louisa Voss reputed bad characters of Warboys. The licence was, however, granted in September 1841.
