** In a record of Licensing Court proceedings in the Preston Guardian of the 5th October 1872, there was the following comment: "The license of the Edinburgh Castle was granted on the condition that it was transferred to Richard Hothersall. That doesn't seem to have happened. Or, did it? Was her tenancy split?

THOMAS BALL, the landlord of the Edinburgh Castle,
St. Paul's Square, was charged with having robbed a
young man named John Hodgkinson, a cabinet maker,
of about £5.
Hodgkinson said that on Monday night last, he went to the
Edinburgh Castle public house, for the purpose of paying
the landlord a shilling that he owed him. He stayed there
drinking until about 11 o'clock, when he felt unwell. Ball
took him into the bar-parlour and advised him to lie down
on the sofa. The room was dark, but he saw Ball enter the
room, put his hand into his pocket, and removed some
money. He thought Ball was taking it for safe keeping.
He then fell asleep, and only awoke when Ball woke him to
tell him the pub was closing, and that he must go home.
Hodgkinson then asked for the return of his money, but
Ball said that he knew nothing about it, and pushed him
out of the house. Hodgkinson knocked for about half and
hour, until two men named Barber and Ascroft came out.
Barber immediately knocked him down and began kicking
him.
Hodgkinson eventually got to his feet and ran off, finding
PC> Topping near the end of Water Street. He told him the story,
as a result of which the officer went to the Edinburgh Castle
and arrested Ball. The money that had been paid to
Hodgkinson had been rubbed with chalk, and some of it
was found in Ball's possession.
Committed for trial. Bail was refused.

PROTECTION ORDER
Elizabeth Singleton applied for a Protection Order against
her husband David Singleton. The parties were married
on the 4th September 1858, and during the first 7 or 8 years
of their married life they lived very comfortably together.
After that period he began to abuse the applicant, and
turned her out of the house, and he also, at that time, went
with other women. But the particular time of which Mrs.
Singleton complained was the 24th September 1877. They
were then living at the Edinburgh Castle Inn, Preston, and
on the day in question she was driven out of her house by
her husband. He used threats, abused her by striking her,
and pushed her out of the house with a chair.
Immediately after that he began to harbour other women
in his house, and his wife did not see him until the 31st July
1878. On that day he went away, and recently Detective Sergeant
Carter saw him in Bolton with another woman.
The Magistrates granted the application.
