Although
Nathan Joseph
had only held the license for the Lamb Inn for a
short time in 1849, he was an experienced Innkeeper
as he had previously held the license for the
Travellers Inn in Singleton.
His experience led him to suspect two
visitors to the Lamb Inn in September 1849 and he
kept a close watch on them. When his wife discovered
a valuable shawl missing, Mr. Joseph called in the
constables who searched the couple's carpet bags and
room. Along with stolen items found hidden in their
bed was a leather pouch containing eleven skeleton
keys and four picklocks.
William Drew was granted a publican's license for the
Lamb Inn 1851
