Advert for Home Brewery ALE Mild 1/= A Gallon Bitter 1/6d A Gallon Double Stout 1/4d A Gallon Taking the average 1/4d A Gallon =2d a pint Average now £2.00 a Pint =240 Times more. Forsale Ladies 9ct Keyless watch and 9ct Gold Chain Albert £2=10 shillings. Singing Bill Bailey at Midnight. George Prince who did not appear was fined 5/= and 10/6d costs for being drunk and disorderly.PC Bulpitt said defendents and others were singing Bill Bailey about the Streets and that he had received complaints that people could not sleep at 1-0 clock in the morning. So thats 15/6d thats 375 Halfpennies or Ripley and Heanors x161 gives an equivalent of £125-78p in todays cash.Today it would not get to court |
