Following the funeral of Richard Baker, a employee of Messrs. Lacon's, on 2nd January 1926, landlord Mervyn Robert Southgate, was summoned for supplying intoxicating liquor at illegal hours. On 26th January 1926, Police-constable Pooley gave evidence that at 5:15 pm, he had observed four men in the house  being served by the landlady, who charged 1s 8d for four glasses of beer. On entering the house, the constable was advised by Mr. Southgate, that he had no business in the private room, his place was in the public bar. Mr. Southgate was described as a paralysed man who could not get about. In defence it was claimed that there was no invitation to `have a drink', but a subscription was made for the two children of the deceased. The four men found in the house were also employees of Messrs. Lacon and possessed excellent characters, they asked that the responsibility be placed on them, not the landlord. The Chairman said the Bench had no option but to convict Mr. Southgate. The four men, William Henry Smith, William Robert Slegg, Charles Brindid and Harry Wall were each fined 10s for consuming out of legal hours.
