NOTE:
Between Mary Wilson and Robert Lister, I think an Ellen Miller may have had the pub, until her marriage to Robert Lister in 1864. Ellen's second marriage was to Richard Ratcliffe of the Gibraltar Inn, also on New Hall Lane, and she is the wife in the news item. Please look lower down for that article, on the 31.12.1864. The marriage turned out to be unsuccessful, I think.
Thanks to reader Nelly B for this contribution, for the article doesn't make things clears. Thanks for the explanation.

A WIFE BEATER
Robert Lister, landlord of the General Codrington
beerhouse, New Hall Lane, who had been apprehended
under a warrant, was charged with ill-using his wife on
Sunday and Monday last. Mrs. Lister gave evidence to
the effect that the prisoner, since their marriage in June
last, he had frequently ill-used her; she said that when
they married he didn't have a penny in the world and
that she had kept the beerhouse for two years previous
to their marriage. In consequence of his conduct towards
her, she could not live with him. A witness named Nancy
Eastwood corroborated her evidence.
Lister was severely reprimanded by the Bench, and
sentenced to one months imprisonment.
