At the Annual Licensing Sessions held Monday 23rd August 1858 it was heard that Thomas Warnes had twice been convicted of of drawing beer at illegal hours on a Sunday. Mrs Warnes advised the bench that neither a wine or spirit licence had been taken out. The licence renewal was refused.
On Wednesday 20th October an appeal was made on behalf of Thomas Warnes for the decision made at the previous sessions to be reversed. The appeal was dismissed on the grounds of previous convictions and the fact that although a full licence had been previously awarded, a spirit licence had not been taken out.

The house gained a new licence at the Annual Licensing Session held Tuesday 4th September 1860.
