William Fisk, senior, landlord of the Orwell Inn, and his son William Fisk junior were charged with assaulting Daniel Dixey. There was a counter summons where Fisk junior charged Dixey with assault. The assaults appeared to arise out of Fisks refusal to draw some beer, and in the disgraceful fracas which took place, young Fisk knocked Dixey down with a poker. The magistrates convicted the Fisks and fined the younger 20s and costs, in default one months imprisonment. The elder received a fine of 10s and costs, in default 14 days imprisonment, and cautioned him as to the manner in which he conducted his house.Ipswich Journal, October 1860**
