Thomas Davey was charged with being drunk at the Dog Inn, Norton, and with refusing to quit when asked to do so by the landlord Daniel Ruffles. Thomas Davy, an innkeeper from Woolpit, did not appear, and the Justices considered this a bad one, inflicted a fine of £1, and costs of £1 13s 6d, or one month’s imprisonment on default.
