The Eastern Daily Press (Norfolk),
18 April 1879 GAMING IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE CAUTION TO LANDLORDS
Thomas Worledge, landlord of the Red Lion public-house, BishopBridge, was summoned for allowing gaming to be carried on in his house on the 11th of April. He was further charged in two separate informations with allowing intoxicating liquors to be consumed on his premises at unlawful hours on the same day, and also with refusing to admit Police-constable Scales to his premises, contrary to the Licensing Act.
The Town Clerk prosecuted; Mr Linay defended. A person staying in Norwich on a visit, said he went into the defendants house on Good Friday evening for a glass of ale. While he was drinking this in the bar parlor two soldiers came in, and on a table in the room were cards, a cribbage board, and jugs and glasses. About nine oclock witness and a soldier sat down to a game of cribbage, the stake being glasses of ale. Witness won, and the soldier paid for two glasses of ale, which was brought in either by the landlord or landlady, but which witness was unable to say. The soldier soon afterwards left, followed by some civilians who had been in the room.
The landlord then said to witness, Ill play you a game ofcribbage, and witness accepted the challenge. Defendant, however, said he had not time to play before closing time, as hewanted to clear the house, and if he played witness must beprepared to stop for the night. After the house was closed, play commenced, the stake being two glasses of ale, and 2s. 6d. Therewere also in the room the landlady, and two men who said theywere lodgers. Sometimes witness won, and sometimes the landlord.
About one oclock witness lost all his money, and asked the landlord to lend him a sovereign. As he declined, one of the men offered to lend a sovereign on witnesses watch till the following morning. After witness had played three or four more games and won, witness observed the landlord take a card from the pack and put into his own hand. Witness accused him of this, but on the defendant denying it, witness pointed it out in his hand. Defendant then called him a liar, and recriminations passed between them, defendant asserting that if witness repeated his accusations, he would turn him out. On witness telling him it would be the worse for him if he did, defendant seized him and attempted to put him out, witnesss coat being torn in the attempt. Not succeeding in the first attempt, defendant tried again, and while they were struggling, one of the men seized witness from behind, and he was thrown out on to his side.
The door was then locked from the inside. Witness, when in the street, called Police! in response to which Police-constable Scales came up, and went and knocked a tthe back door. Lights at this time were burning in the house, but though a voice was heard inside, no response was made to the constables demand. Witness afterwards found his hat in thestreet, which he had lost in the struggle in the house. During the play, witness made several bets of a shilling a game with one of the lodgers, but detecting him cheating he declined anyfurther bets.
On the Saturday morning, witness went to the house to see the man who had advanced the sovereign to him. On being accused by the landlord of creating a disturbance, witness said he should have been alright if the landlord had not cheated, and added that he had reported the matter to the police. Defendant said he need not have done this, and that he should have been all right if the witness had not knocked the pegs out. Witness denied this. Defendant told witness he had won the last game and handedto him the half-crown. The lodger afterwards coming down witness handed to him the sovereign and received back his watch. The man also handed to witness a shilling to get his coat repaired, but defendant said he had a friend who could do it, and on going in the evening witness found the coat repaired.In answer to Mr Linay, witness admitted he had agreed to stay all night, and was prepared to say he was a lodger if the house had been visited by the police. He lost 11s. altogether, but it was not the loss of the money that induced him to make his complaint.
In re-examination by the Town Clerk, witness said it was the landlord who asked him to say he was a lodger if any one came to the house. Police-constable Scales was the next witness, and spoke of his unsuccessful visit to the defendants house, though he heard a female voice say, There are police, and a mans voice reply, There let them be; they wont come into the house. Mr Linay in defence, admitted the facts so far as the card-playing was concerned, though his client indignantly denied the charge of cheating. As to the card-playing, he pleaded that defendant had erred entirely through ignorance, being under the impression that after his house was closed he was at liberty to play with a person who had, like the witness, put himself in the position of a lodger. He would now learn that landlords were different from other persons, for it had been decided in theSuperior Courts that they must not play even for nuts. He (MrLinay) therefore trusted that under the circumstances a nominal penalty would meet the justice of the case.
Mr Chittock said he appeared for the owners of the house, Messrs Bullard, and on their behalf asked the Bench not to endorse the license. Defendant had been served with a notice to quit on the 22nd March, and he would have to leave the house in June. If the Bench endorsed the license, they would really be punishing the owners of the house. The Chairman said the magistratesconsidered this a very bad case, and their decision was that defendant pay a find of £5. and £1 16s. 6d. costs, to be levied by distress; in default a months imprisonment. The license would not be endorsed. Defendant pleaded guilty to the second charge, for which he was fined 2s. 6d. and 7s. costs; in default seven days. On the third charge he pleaded not guilty.
Thepoliceman having given evidence, Mr Linay urged that as the officer had not stated who he was, no offence had been committed, as no publican would be safe if he were to open hisdoor to anyone who might simply knock on it with his knuckles. Defendant was fined 2s. 6d. and 7s. costs; in default seven days. Another charge was then heard against the defendant for having his house open at thirty-five minutes past ten on Sundaynight, and allowing intoxicating liquors to be consumed therein.Police-constables Whall and Scales gave evidence in support of the charge. Mr Linays pleas was that the people found in the house were private guests, entertained at the sole expense of the landlord, which was not an offence against the Licensing Act. He called defendant and four witnesses in support of thiscontention. After the evidence of the first witness had been given, the Town Clerk withdrew the case, as he should not be able to prove it legally, though he might have his own opinionabout it. The summonses against six persons found in the housewere also withdrawn.
On the 13th May 1879 "The Red Lion" was taken over by an Edward Baldwin and we find no mention of Thomas in Norwich after that.There is no sign of him in the 1881 census of Britain and his son Thomas is boarding with one Isaac Gooch with his 4 year old sister Blanche as a visitor. His Wife Mary is Boarding with her Grandfather, Mother, brothers and Sisters in Great Yarmouth. Thomas seems to have been missed by the enumerators.I suspect that he later married a Sarah Sinfield. Widow ofWilliam Sinfield. Mother of Catherine Sinfield wife ofThomas's Son William Walter Worledge. We have Thomas, Sarah andCatherine together in 1891 but his birthplace is given asYarmouth which does not comply with other censusses. A ThomasWorledge died in Bethnal Green at 4 treadway street in 1905 thisa stone's throw from the 1901 residence of his son WilliamWalter Worledge and his Wife the daughter of his housekeeperSarah Sinfield. There is no informant and the inquest reporthas been culled many years ago. Fortunately the Local Newspapermentions the inquest as follows.FROM "EASTERN ARGUS & HACKNEY TIMES" FOR 14th JANUARY 1905.TREADWAY STREET MAN'S SAD END.On Monday morning last, at Church Row, Bethnal Green, Dr. WynnWestcott, coroner for the district, held an inquest upon thebody of a man named Thomas Worledge, 68 years of age, abootmaker, lately residing at 4, Treadway Street, Hackney Road,where he expired suddenly on Saturday morning last about 10.30,having put off seeing a doctor until the day before his death,and then it was too late.Sarah Worledge residing at No. 4 Treadway Street, said deceasedwas her husband, 68 years of age, and a bootmaker. He hadreceived no accidents or injuries that she knew of, and was asober man. She did not consider he had been ill to speak of.He had bronchitis and chest troubles for some time, but he wouldnot have a doctor, or go to see one. On thursday, January the7th, he was taken very queer. but still persisted in his refusalto see a doctor. On Friday he was worse still, and, at last, onthe Saturday a doctor was fetched against the poor man's will.But, alas, it was too late, the fell disease had done it's work,and the old fellow died soon after the arrival of the doctor.Dr. Arthur Farebrother, 442 Hackney Road, deposed that he wascalled to the case shortly before nine on Saturday morning. Hefound the man sitting on a chair, vomitting, and evidentlydying. He heard the man had complained of his chest for sometime, had a cough, and had no sleep for several nights. Witnessprescribed for him, but shortly afterwards heard of his death.The autopsy revealed that the lungs were very much inlarged andinflamed and the pleural cavities full of fluid. The heart wasalso enlarged and fatty weighing 15 ounces instead of 10 to 12ounces. Death was due to syncope, following pleural pneumonia.Verdict accordingly.
All we know is the Mary Ann Nicholson was living back in Yarmouth on census night 1881. The rest of the family were bourding with an Isaac Gooch. Thomas William John, Blanche and Sarah were all there along with Sarah's Husband John Alexanger Elby and their two children. Thomas and another two sons were in Hackney with someone called Sarah as Thomas's wife.
