Note the slightly different name from the article above. However, I've come across the name Robert Greer in several public house related cases, and I favour that one as being correct.

WILFUL  DAMAGE

A young man, named James Cowell, was yesterday brought

up at the Police Court, and charged with committing wilful

damage at the Tacklers' Arms beerhouse, Bridge Street.

Henry Livesey, landlord of the house in question, stated

that one Sunday afternoon about eleven weeks ago, the

prisoner came to the door and asked for some beer. He 

was told he could have none at that hours. He then went 

away, came back again with three or four men, and broke

open the door.

The prisoner told the Bench that he (Livesey) had only

brought him here through spite. I summoned him the other

day for assaulting me with a poker.Livesey replied, 

"I tried to get you before that."

Cowell was ordered to pay for the damage, 1s and costs,

with seven days imprisonment in default.
