Local News on this day 9th December 1862.
Samuel Fagg Horton, beer seller, of Wateringbury, was charged with
having on 21st November, refused to admit the police constable to his
house. Mr Goodwin was for the defendant.
Sergeant Fisher said shortly before one o'clock on the morning of 21st
November, he went to the defendant's house and found the doors fastened,
but on looking by the side of the blind, he saw the defendant and
several men in the taproom. He knocked and after some one called out
"Who's there?" He replied "Police" and demanded to be admitted. The
defendant, after delaying some time, apparently attempted to unfasten
the door, but did not do so. He walked back along the passage and it was
only after the constable again called out, that he obtained admission.
He found four men in the taproom, with a pot containing beer upon the
table. The defendant said the men were lodgers, and he had given them
the beer; adding that he had been once fined £2 and now, he expected to
be fined £5.
Mr Goodwin for the defendant stated that there was an Irishman there,
who was worse for the liquor, and who alleged that he had been knocked
about in the house. He believed one or two of the men were lodgers. The
defence was that the defendant had a drunken (Irishman) man in his house
and as he could not get rid of him, he went out to find a policeman,
leaving his lodgers in charge of the house, with the promise that he
would treat them with some beer on his return. When he came back, he
gave them the beer, without charge. The defendant was fined £5.
