The Carlton Hotel on Nevillles Terrace (leads on to Montacute Road) /Eridge
Road. Part of it still exists, but one end of the building became the "Lord
Cornwallis."
This was built about 1874 on what was then part of Montacute Road which,
once the mews houses behind were completed soon afterwards, became Nevill
Terrace.

Kent & Sussex Courier, Friday 29 May 1896.
Drunk whilst in charge of Horses.
James Edwards, a farmer from Burwash, was on the evidence of Sergeant
Wheeler, find 10s. and 5s. costs for being drunk whilst in charge of two
horses, in the London Road.
Witness stated that the defendant was riding one of the horses and
leading the other along the promenade on the Pantiles.
The defendant was further charged with cruelty cruelly ill-treating a
horse by severely beating it the previous evening, in the "Carlton
Hotel" yard.
Alfred Pegram deposed that he heard someone thrash in a horse in one of
the stables of the "Carlton Hotel." There had been a sale of horses that
afternoon. The defendant then came out leading a horse by the halter,
and continued to thrash it on three occasions in a most a unmerciful
manner about the head and shoulders, despite the efforts of witness and
others to get the defendant to cease his cruelty. The horse was old and
very poor, and he could see that the defendant was under the influence
of drink, but not sufficient to render him incapable.
The Chief Constable stated that when charged the defendant replied he
"didn't remember anything about it; he must have been drunk to have done
it."
The Chairman considered it the worst case of cruelty they had had before
them, and it was happily for defendant that it was his first appearance.
Fined £5, which was paid. |
