PROHIBITED HOURS, THE HOUSE WAS GIVEN AS THE
"GREY HORSE," FISHWICK, BUT I THINK THAT IT SHOULD
HAVE BEEN THE "GREY HOUND."

SUBMISSION
WHEREAS I, WILLIAM SERGEANT, of Preston,
INNKEEPER, having indecently assaulted ALICE
HIBBERT, of Preston, Innkeeper, and thereby
occasioned sundry false and scandalous reports
to the great injury of the character of the said Alice
Hibbert; and the said Thomas Hibbert, and Alice,
his wife, having commenced an action at law against
me, they have consented to forego further proceedings,
