BASE INGRATITUDE.
At the County Magistrates Office, Rochester, on Wednesday, William
Daddey was charged with obtaining money and goods under false pretences.
The prisoner, it appeared, had applied to Mr Rutland the landlord of
the "Boatswain and Call," at Upnor stating that he was in a state of the
utmost destitution, and he in consequence took him into his house, set
him to work in the garden, boarded and lodged him, and, at the end of
the week, gave him 3s. in money. During the time he was so employed he
had also been sent for trifling articles from a shop in the village,
kept by Mr. Baldwin, and, availing himself of this introduction to the
village shopkeeper, he on Monday evening, went there, saying there was a
party of gentlemen at the "Boatswain and Call"; and the landlord having
gone out, taking with him the key of the till, mistress was in want of
change; and adding she had sent him there to beg the loan of 20s. He
was also instructed, he said, to take back with him two pounds of
tobacco, Having succeeded in his application, he immediately decamped
and was followed by Mr. Baldwin on horseback, who also intimated his
loss to the police, the latter of whom shortly afterwards apprehended
the prisoner, who found 9s. 6d. on his person, together with the two
pounds of tobacco. The prisoner was committed for trial at the next
Quarter Sessions at Maidstone.

South Eastern Gazette, Tuesday 25 August 1846.
Obtaining Money &c Under False Pretenses.
William Dadler, a young man, was placed at the bar, on a charge of
obtaining from George Baldwin, 20s., and, 2lbs of tobacco, on the 17th
inst.
It appears that the prisoner, who stated that he was last from
Canterbury, about 10 days ago, came to the house of Mr. Edward Rutland,
who keeps the "Boatswain and Call," at Upnor, and solicited employment,
stating that he was in a very destitute condition. Mr. Rutland, purely
out of charity, employed him in his garden, gave him his board and
lodging, and at the end of the week 3s. 6d. in money. During the week,
Mrs. Rutlans had sent the prisoner to Mr. Baldwin's shop for some small
parcels of tobacco, and hence he became acquainted with the connection,
and on Monday evening he represented to Baldwin that Mr. Rutland had
gone out and taken the key of the till with him, and that Mrs. Rutland
was unable to give change to some gentleman who were spending the
evening there, and she would feel obliged if he would send her 20s. in
silver and 2lb of tobacco, which Mr. Baldwin immediately complied with.
Baldwin, however, suspecting the genuineness of the prisoners story,
went to Rutland's, and on finding his suspicions confirmed, immediately
took his horse and gave information to the police of the circumstance,
and he was apprehended the same evening. On searching him 3 half-crowns,
2 shillings, and the tobacco, were found upon him.
Mrs. Rutland stated that the prisoner had not been sent by her or her
husband to Baldwin upon any errand on that day.
Committed for trial.

I am informed that the pub closed in 1862 and the licence and also name
was transferred to the "Boatswain
and Call" in Chatham.

Chatham News, Saturday 27 August 1870.
Frindsbury.
Mr. Hayward supported the application of Mr. Jarratt, for a licence to
the "Ship," at Lower Upnor. He stated that some years ago there were two
licensed houses at Lower Upnor, but on one of them, the "Boatswain and
Call," being pulled down for the erection of magazines, the licence had
been transferred across the water to a house on the top of Chatham Hill.
If, he said, two licences were required at the time, they were more so
now, as upwards of 5,000 passengers landed at the pier in a month, and
the "Jolly Sailor," the only licensed house there, had not sufficient
accommodation for the vast number of persons who visited the
neighbourhood.
Mr. J. Basset opposed on the part of the landlord of "Jolly Sailor," and
contended that the "Ship" was not at all calculated for a spirit
licence, as there was not sufficient accommodation.
Refused.
