Mr C Marshall-Hole, on behalf of parishioners of Uplowman, near Tiverton, objected to the renewal of the licence of the Redwoods Inn, Uplowman, on the following grounds:-1; that the inn is not necessary for the inhabitants, and is not required by them; 2; that the business of the inn has not been conducted in a proper manner; 3; that John\u00a0 Hussey, the licencee, has been on several occasions \u2013 viz., on July 28<sup>th<\/sup> 1874; on<br \/>\nSeptember 14<sup>th<\/sup> 1889; and July 28<sup>th<\/sup> 1890, summoned and convicted for\u00a0 misconducting the house; 4; that no police constable is stationed in the parish.<\/p>\n<p>A memorial was presented in support of the objection. It set out that the petitioners considered that a fitting opportunity to seriously represent to the magistrates that a great deal of drunkenness prevails at Uplowman, which can be directly traced to the existence of Redwoods Inn, which is situated in an isolated position, and is the cause of grievous harm and impoverishment to the working classes, as well as an annoyance to many of the residents of the parish.\u00a0 It was signed by the Rector Rev. H Mooraart, the churchwardens, and seventy of the leading residents in the parish.<\/p>\n<p>Mr J A Thorne, barrister, supported the application for the renewal which was made by the Tiverton and Devonport Brewery Company.<\/p>\n<p>The Rev. Mooraart went in to the witness box and stated that there was no necessity for the inn in question; and generally bore out the grounds of objection. Cross examined: He has not seen a great deal of drunkenness as the result of the existence of the Redwoods Inn, but had heard that there was.\u00a0 Asked if it was charitable for a minister of religion to rake up an offence which was committed by a man 17 years ago, witness said he did not object to the man but the house. He knew that the agricultural labourers could get sufficient drink at the farms without going to the inn.<\/p>\n<p>Several others also objected.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Thorne said Mr Hussey, the man objected to, had practically given up the house, although he had not left it, and a man named James had become the landlord. The brewery company were prepared to accept a six day licence if they could not get a seven day one. The public house was required, the nearest one to it being a mile off. James, the new man, bore an excellent character, and had received a testimonial from the rector of the parish.<\/p>\n<p>After other evidence had been received the magistrates said they did not object to the renewal of the licence, but James could not be accepted as the tenant. Subsequently James gave an undertaking to devote the whole of his time to management of the inn, and then he was accepted.\u00a0 Only a six day licence was granted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Exeter Flying Post &#8211; September 12 1891<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Redwoods Inn\" href=\"http:\/\/www.uplowmanhistory.org.uk\/?page_id=221\">press link to return to Redwoods page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mrs Redwood fined for throwing beer at William Parr 1861 At the petty sessions in Tiverton \u201cMrs Redwood, wife of the landlord of a public-house at Uplowman Cross, was summoned by William Parr, of Uplowman, for throwing a quantity of beer in his face, at the inn, on Sunday last. \u2013 She admitted the charge [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":221,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-777","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
