FORTUNE OF WAR, Mill Bank, Church Street

FORTUNE OF WAR   #

1  Mill Bank, Church Street.

*

The passage to the right of the Harp Inn was called 'Jerry Lobby.' The Fortune of War
was to the right of that passage. The Malt Kiln Tavern (also known as the Mountain Stag between 1861 and 1869) was to the right of that, where we now see a pale-coloured shop.

Tithebarn-street Tavern, Tithebarn-street, owned by Ann Walmsley, Frenchwood Street, for whom Mr. Blackhurst appeared, and tenanted by Elizabeth Jane Hornby, was next objected to.
Inspector Clayton, describing the house as too small for licensed premises, but clean and in good repair. The rent was £30 a year, and the sales about 6 and a half barrels a week.
By Mr. Blackhurst: The house was well conducted. For its size and neighbourhood it was a "wonderful little house." Asked what he would suggest the tenant should do if deprived of her licence, Clayton replied, "Take another house." "Where?" asked Mr. Blackhurst, and the witness answered amid laughter, "Oh! there are any amount to let at present." The owner was the life tenant of the property, and the rent was all she had to live upon.

DISTURBANCE AT A TEMPERANCE 
OPEN-AIR MEETING
Thomas Eccles, Thomas Whalley, and George Dearden,
appeared in answer to a summons charging them with
assaulting Mrs. Mary Ann Hunter, landlady of the "Star
and Garter," Brook Street, on Sunday night last.

It appeared from the evidence adduced, that the defendants 
had been present at a temperance meeting, which had been
held opposite the prosecutrix's house on Sunday night.

A man named Gardner, in addressing the meeting, strongly 
condemned the public houses in general, and the "Star and
Garter" in particular. Mrs. Hunter had been listening to the
speaker's remarks, and at length rushed into the street, and
forcing her way through the crowd, attempted to pull him 
down from the chair on which he was standing. The result was 
a general fight, in which the prosecutrix was assaulted by the
 three defendants.

Several witnesses were called to prove that Mrs. Hunter had
commenced the disturbance, but it was also said that complaints
had frequently been made (to the police) by the inhabitants of
that neighbourhood, of temperance open-air meetings, and the
police have been instructed to prevent their being held, by 
ordering the parties to move on.

Mr. Taylor (Magistrate) informed the defendants that they had
no right to interfere with parties who had their rent to pay, and
their livelihood to get, notwithstanding their disapproval of the 
public house system.

He, himself, had a great regard for teetotalism, but he could not 
consent to allow parties to break the peace while advocating
those principles. He would, therefore, order the defendants to
pay the costs of the summons.
