Jacob Hinchcliffe
was granted the publican's license for the
White Swan Inn in 1843.
In June 1844 Hinchcliffe decided to 'remove to the
metropolis' and auctioneer Jeremiah Ledsam offered
for sale by public auction the entire household
furniture and stock in trade together with drays, a
gig, horse, cow, personal items, clothing and a
silver Hunting watch belonging to Hinchcliffe.
Lachlan Boyne held
the license later in 1844. Boyne
died in 1846.
In November 1845
auctioneer Jeremiah Ledsam advertised a quantity of
household furniture, horses, cows, pigs and a dray
etc to be sold at the White Swan Inn.
On the same day
coachbuilder
Robert Cottrell sold his household furniture, stock in
trade, smiths' tools and other items with the intention of taking over
the White Swan Inn.
Henry Early was
the next publican at the White Swan. A burglar had a
lucky escape in 1848 when he disturbed Mr. Early
late one Saturday night. On hearing the burglar
attempting to force open the front door, and
observing a man hastily getting away over a fence
Mr. Early fired his pistol which fortunately for the
robber, misfired. Henry Early was fined 2 pounds in
1849 for a breach of the Licensing Act when he
provided rum on a Sunday to Maitland Tailor Thomas
Richardson.
Seven Stars Inn
In December 1849
James Richards was granted a publican's
license for the Seven Stars Inn formerly the White
Swan Inn which was said to be situated nearly opposite the
Falls in West Maitland.
