Emily Wren (21) and her sister Maria (17) customers at the Cherry Tree, were accused of stealing £3 16s from Land Transport Corps member J. Burke. On July 31st 1856, Mr. Burke, who was staying at the Half Moon, had visited the Cherry Tree and sat drinking with the girls until midnight. The two girls took him across fields to a stack where they lay down and he fell asleep. When he awoke the girls were gone and he could not account for his money. Several witnesses proved that he had spent freely in the public house and the girls were acquitted.

Mr. Tuck appears in the census of 1871 to 1891 as Maker Tuck.
