1868 - 1869 JOHN NEALE Monday 25th January 1869 - Charged of selling beer without a licence. On 27th November 1868 Police constable Pearson had witnessed a man named Clitheroe purchase a biscuit for 2d and be given a pint of beer. Mrs. Neale, James Barstead, Richard Taylor and Richard Dobson were also in the building. Asking for a beer Pc Pearson was told that they did not sell beer, but he could buy a biscuit for 2d. The biscuit was provided, along with a pint of beer. Clitheroe finished his beer and asked if a better biscuit was available? He was offered a 2½d biscuit, which was accompanied by a mug of beer. Asking for an even better biscuit, for 3d., Clitheroe was served a biscuit, and better beer.
It was said that up until Michaelmas 1868, Neale had run a licensed house, but the licence had not been renewed in consequence of the ratepayers refusing to sign the certificate. Up until the hearing, beer had been served in the same manner, with the claim that only biscuits were sold, the beer was free.
Mr. Neale was fined £10 and cautioned.
