neddy Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 An Absconding Bankrupt December 30 1882 At the Sheffield Quarter Sessions on Wednesday, Jonathan Guest was indicted for several offences under the Bankruptcy Act. The prisoner was landlord of the Warm Hearthstone public house at Sheffield, and also owned a ginger beer manufactory at Grenoside. The latter end of October he sold his property, realising nearly £1,000, and went to America, leaving creditors whose debts amounted to about £700. Before leaving Liverpool he got a bankers draft on New York for his money, but before reaching there he had been made a bankrupt and payment on the draft was stopped. Finding he could not get his money he returned to Liverpool, and was arrested. It has since been ascertained that no money passed between the prisoner and the man who was stated to have purchased the ginger beer manufactory, and that property, valued at £400, the creditors hope to secure. The prisoner, who said he intended to return to this country, was found guilty and sentenced to 12 months imprisonment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HughW Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 This seems a bit of a coincidence... Sheffield Local Register 19 Oct 1882 The Judge of the Bankruptcy Court orders release of Henry Guest, button manufacturer, Soho Wheel, arrested on the representation that he was going to America to avoid his creditors.

Guest Gramps Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Boozers in court. The Robin Hood was one of several Millhouses pubs raided by police in January 1907 At that time Millhouses was just outside the city boundary and local pubs stayed open later than they did in the city The police raid aimed to catch crafty drinkers who slipped over the boundary for an after-hours noggin. Of 396 people charged with illegal drinking 277 were judged by the magistrates to he bona fide travellers drinking legally, and 119 were found guilty and fined between 5s. and £1. There was loud public criticism of the police and local newspapers said the raid was 'high-handed police terrorism'.

RichardB Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Sheffield and Rotherham Independent, 6 Apr 1850 The following publicans and beerhouse keepers were fined for offences against their licenses:- Wm. Mallinson, Half-moon, Silver-street head, £5, and 8s. costs; and Hy. Smith, Ten bells, Westbar, 20s., and 8s.costs. Hugh Ten Bells is a beerhouse (on our Beerhouse list) Mallinson is a bit of a headache, thus Star 16 Silver Street (only known keeper is one Henry Mallinson, 1871). Could be an earlier generation. Crown and Anchor 18 Stanley Street, keeper William Mallinson in 1845, 46, 49, 51, 52, 54, 56, 61, 62, 64 (no Moons or Stars mentioned) Full Moon 25 Silver Street 1846 keeper is Henry Roberts. Could be any of 'em. What does anyone else think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
