In a Chancery suit between Robert Browne and Oliver Woodliffe and his associates, Mrs Jane Harryson recounts that during a visit to the water pump in the yard of the inn, the wife of Oliver Woodliffe told her that responsibility for both the yard and the pump lay with Richard Samwell as part of his lease agreement. Harryson also recalls Richard Samwell and Oliver Woodliffe in a verbal dispute about garbage 'which then lay under the stage.' Samwell expressed that 'Woodlif should bear half the charge', while Woodliffe answered that 'he would not bear a penny of it.'
