In 1865, according to The Era, Sunday 29th October, Jabez Samuel Gower, the freeholder, was granted a License for the Three Cups, because [the current Licensee] Joseph Needham had become insane. ***
[In 1857, in a hugely publicised Old Bailey trial, Gower was accused of incitement to murder. He'd visited Marshalsea Debtors Prison when a debtor was fatally stabbed by another man. Gower was acquitted, and the other man sentenced to fifteen years penal servitude. Gower later married a daughter of Edward Henry Sanderson the manager, on behalf of the great stagecoach proprietor Edward Sherman, at the Queen's Hotel / Bull and Mouth Inn, Bull and Mouth Street.] ***
