For Sale by Auction Thursday 28th June 1860 with

to his retirement from the trade. The house being in the same family for
nearly 60 years and offered an extensive Beer Trade, beside a large Wine

remunerative opportunity.

"None need apply who are not well adapted to conduct the same."
On Monday 25th August 1873, Cornelius Reeve was charged by Police-constable
Smith of being on 8th August, drunk in his own premises.
It was argued that since the said offence had taken place after the house
had really closed, the house had ceased to be a public-house and so, to all
intents and purposes, it was Mr. Reeve's own house, indeed an `Englishman's
castle' and he was entitled to do as he pleased and drink as much as he
liked. The case was dismissed, but it was hoped that there would be no similar
complaint.
