The Eastern Daily
Press of Monday May 21 1877 reported :-
John WILDE, landlord of the Rainbow public-house, King-street, was
charged with allowing intoxicating liquors to be consumed on his
premises at twenty-five minutes past eleven on Monday night. The
Town Clerk supported the information. Police-constable GOLDSMITH on
visiting the house at the time in question found three men drinking,
who said they were lodgers, in which they were corroborated by the
landlord. To-day the defendant admitted this was false, and said he
was very sorry. The Bench told him he had made the case worse by
telling a falsehood, and fined him £1 and 17s 6d costs. The license
would have been endorsed had not the house received a good
character.
Horace ALDGATE,
shoemaker, Mill-street, Lakenham, and George SNELLING, laborer, Ber-street,
for being at the Rainbow at the above unlawful time, were each fined
10s and 12s costs.
