In 1846 George James Armytage stated that he saw Rev. J. Duffus drinking and smoking in the tap room of a public bar. Broughton appointed a commission to investigate whether the charges made were legitimate and worth further investigation. After hearing from numerous witnesses who testified to Rev. Duffus' good character, the commission concluded that there was insufficient evidence to carry the investigation any further.
