8 Nov 1850 Lincs Chronicle
Rt. Carratt, of the Joiners’ Arms, Burton road, was charged with a similar offence. One of the police stated that when he entered the house on Sunday morning, about half-past twelve o’clock, he saw 6 men drinking, and told Carratt that he ought to have closed at 11 o’clock. Carratt said, that five of his own family were present, and the other three persons were waiting for the "cow calving.” He and his family were waiting of the cow, and not drinking. Business must be attended to, whether it was Sunday or work day. The Magistrates did not think the cow a sufficient cause for keeping the house open, and selling beer. Fined 5s. and 10s. costs.
