William Steward, plasterer and beer seller appeared before the Court on Saturday 18th May 1861, for his First Examination as being an Insolvent Debtor, owing a total of £83 16s.

William Steward was fined 50s and costs, Monday 13th July 1863 for an assault on George Brazier, an officer for the Great Eastern Railway Company (described as a boy). It seems a fancy goose, owned by Mr. Steward had been killed on the railway line. Mr Brazier had retrieved it as was his job. Seeing the goose being taken away, Steward had knocked Brazier down and kicked him in the eye, thinking his property was being stolen.
The Magistrates thought that obstructing of a railway servant was a serious thing.

It was stressed in the sale documents that "The property is well frequented and did not suffer the same rates as Norwich, also that the neighbourhood was steadily being developed and the large extent of the land offered was suitable for valuable building plots."
