A report in the Ipswich Journal on 06 Sep 1879 states that: At the Halesworth Annual Licensing Day (03 Sep 1879), all renewed except Mrs Read, at the Swan where the police complained about the characters visiting this house & conduct. Mr Brooke, from the Bench advised Mrs Read to come back next week sober. She had to be removed from the Court.
