Notes:

16 June 1880 Licensed

28 May 1881 Sentence expires this day. I have written to his employer

31 May 1881 Received a letter this morning from a Mr John King, Park Hall, Minworth, respecting J Blockley. The character which is given by this person is not a very flattering one. Frequents public houses too much. See letter enclosed [not attached to Admissions Register]

6 June 1881 Received this day a letter from Mr King who informs me that he has taken Blockley on again, temporarily. (See letter enclosed) [not attached to Admissions Register]
