Two police officers went to the Eagle to arrest 4 men accused of a felonious assault on a game keeper. A fight ensued with the police officers receiving a severe beating. They called on Edgar Brooks for assistance which he ignored. The judge severely chastised him for his cowardly inaction.Ipswich Journal, March 1st 1889** (when Edgar Brooks was landlord)
