# On
March 15th 1901 Southworth had been given a 'Temporary Authority
Licence,' but on April 3rd 1901, the Full Transfer was refused, because
Alfred Greenwood was awaiting trial for receiving stolen goods. On the
10th he was convicted, and disqualified from holding a licence. On the
12th April 1901 permission was refused to continue business until
Transfer Day.
On 5th May 1901 an application for a licence was refused.
On 3rd July an appeal was made against the refusal, Dismissed with costs.
I'm not sure what was going on here, unless Southworth was involved with the case against Greenwood.
HOWEVER: SEE BELOW, 1901

CHARGE AGAINST A PUBLICAN
Committal of Accused
At Preston yesterday, Henry Cornwall, 26 years, labourer, and Alfred Greenwood, landlord of the Hesketh Arms, Lancaster Road, Preston, were charged on remand, the former with stealing, and the latter with receiving property to the value of over £116. The stolen property, it was stated, included 66 rings, 480 cigars, 23 pipes, and a number of cigar and cigarette holders, along with 40 to 50 watches which had not been traced.
When Cornwell was arrested, he confessed to breaking into five shops, and informed the police that the whole of the property would be found at the Hesketh Arms.
Greenwood said that he had bought some stuff from Cornwall, but he had paid market value for it. A search resulted in the police finding all the property mentioned, but the watches they failed to recover.
Both prisoners were committed for trial.
