From The Era (London, England), Sunday, October 25, 1840; Issue 109.
CAUTION TO PUBLICANS.
Henry Vickers, landlord of the "Earl of Effingham," Deptford, was summoned to answer a complaint of having opened
his house before the hour of one, on Sunday, the 11th inst. Mr. Vickers pleaded guilty to the offence, but stated, in extenuation, that the door
of his house had been opened to serve a glass of ale to some customers
during his (Mr. Vickers's) absence, by a friend who had recently come
from the country, and who was staying at his house. He promised to be
more cautious in future; and the magistrate, taking into consideration
the good character borne by his house, ordered the case to be
discharged, upon his paying the cost of the summons. |
