John Porley was accused of stealing 2 oil cakes from a cart that was left outside of his Inn. The principle witness was the former landlord William Woodward who had failed to make a living from the pub. Woodward was described as having jealous and spiteful feelings towards Porley. The owner of the Inn, Mr C Cunningham gave character witness for Porley. The case was dismissed."Ipswich Journal, October 23rd 1875 (when John Porley was landlord)
