NB. Court Records for this pub show that between 1882 and 1885, William Norris was the licensee. I am not sure where James Brown fits in. Could he have been the owner of the property?

Although it mentions "Cattle Market Inn", it must be this place because the one that was opened two years later next to the cattle market, didn't exists at this date.

Mr Robert Speight of the New Cattle Market Inn, Brook
Street, applied for a licence. It was said that the name
described itself to the Bench. It was near the new Cattle
Market, and was the nearest house in the borough to
the market. With regard to the convenience of the place,
they would see that by the plan it was well-suited for a
public house, and would be required when the Cattle Market
was built. It would not at all interfere with the Corporation
property, for it was about quarter of a mile from the
handsome building the Corporation were erecting there.
The applicant retailed about £20 worth of ale per week,
and nearly 300 carts passed the door every day, and the
road was becoming a great thoroughfare to Fulwood.

Robert BLAKEY, the applicant, on whose behalf
it was said that it was hardly necessary to say that
the man was well-known in the town as of good
character. He had kept a beer-house in Fishergate
for a numbere of years satisfactorily.
He had in this case made extensive alterations,
and had made the house convenient in every
respect.

SINGULAR CHARGE AGAINST
A PRESTON LANDLORD
At Kirkham Petty Sessions, Henry Thompson, landlord
of the New Cattle Market Inn, Brook Street, and John
Porter of Burnley, were charged with having stolen an
alarm gun, value 10s 6d, and 15 yards of copper wire,
from a wood at Salwick.
On the 26th December 1892, the two defendants had
skated up the Preston and Lancaster Canal as far as
the Clifton Arms. On returning Thompson and Porter
took off their skates at the big basin, Salwick, and went
across the fields. Later, they went into the Lane Ends
Hotel, where Thompson played dominoes, and Porter
was explaining the mechanism of the gun.
On the night of the 31st December, Thompson was
arrested at his home, and his house was searched,
but no sign of the property was found. Later in the
evening however, Thompson's wife found the gun in
one of his pockets, and took it to the police station.
When Porter was arrested he told police that he had
put it into Thompson's pocket.
Porter was committed for trial, and Thompson was
discharged through lack of evidence.
