Cambridge Chronicle 30 Apr 1830: Thomas and Elizabeth Badcock keeping a disorderly house
Thomas and Elizabeth Badcock, against whom a true bill was found at the last sessions for keeping a disorderly house at Trumpington, were brought up to receive judgement. — The CHAIRMAN said the indictment had been preferred at the instigation of the officers whose duty it is to watch over the morals of the younger members of the university, and not with any vindictive feelings. The defendants having since expressed contrition for their conduct, and also left the house complained of, their punishment was not urged, and they were therefore sentenced to pay a fine of one shilling to the King, and be discharged on entering into their own recognisances of £100 and two sureties of £25 each, for their good behaviour for two years.
