At the Sudbury Petty Sessions held in October 1875, a temporary transfer of license was granted to Mr Amey, new landlord of the Lamb and Flag beer house. Ipswich Journal, Oct 1875**
Mary Ann Randall, a hawker of buttons, cottons etc was charged with being riotous and disorderly and with breaking 14 panes of glass at the Lamb & Flag Beer house, Church Street, Sudbury. The prisoner had her right hand bound up, which she had cut severely in her drunken freak. Mr MUNSON, the landlord (stated) that she went to his house drunk & asked for beer which he refused to serve, when she became violent and had to be put out. She immediately smashed, with her bare hands the front window. She used filthy language and had previously insulted customers who would not buy her wares…
