George Kell, landlord of the Fountain, Tuddenham, told the court, in February 1865, that when Henry Stammers entered his pub he saw he was already intoxicated and refused to serve him, whereupon, he refused to leave and became troublesome. The magistrates convicted him and fined him 2s 6d; and 14s 6d costs.Ipswich Journal, February 1865**
