Lion

From the Borough of Greenwich Free Press, 19 September 1863.

Ephraim Winn, landlord of the "Lion" beer shop, Charles Street, Deptford, was summoned, by inspector Saunders, for having his house open during prohibited hours.

From the inspectors evidence, it appeared that he found 21 men in the house, one of whom cried out - "We're all lodgers."

There was only one pot containing malt liquor in the room.

Mr. Traill ordered the defendant to pay the costs of the summons.
