I bet it should be Bawdy House, an establishment of ill repute. Either that or they where keeping chickens without a license.

Perhaps the clerk you wrote the register up couldn't bring himself to put the correct spelling down.

Wonder if its supposed to be Bawdy House

The legal definition of Bawdy House is A brothel; an establishment of ill repute - within which occur acts of prostitution or lewd sex.
