I discovered yesterday that William Cox, and his wife Mary, were fined on three separate occassions for opening their alehouse 'during prohibited hours'. It was so entertaining to find some 'naughtiness' that I never thought until about 6 o'clock this morning (when the Coxs were running around in my head:() - since I had a date when the offence occurred, would it have been worth looking at the Petty Sessions? I suppose there must have been some sort of enquiry/investigation/trial before they were issued the fine, and who would do the issuing?
On a roll with these Coxs, wish they were mine
