Ruffell was charged with selling beer before 12.30 on a Sunday morning. He said that he saw nothing wrong in it, the Bench asked had he not read his license. He replied he was no scholar and the Bench retorted he should not take a public house unless he was a scholar. Fined 10s with 8s costs.Bury & Norwich Post, August 14th 1860** (when John Ruffell was the landlord)
