CANTERBURY, JULY 11. SUICIDES.
On the Saturday preceding the above melancholy event, a boy, about 12

Kentish Chronicle, 29 September, 1829.
Three men of rather respectable appearance arrived at the
"Carpenters Arms" public house,
Ramsgate on Tuesday evening, where they remained during the night.
The next morning, having
partook of a healthy breakfast, they requested the landlady, Mrs.
Pearce, to provide dinner, and they
departed as if to view the town. The appointed hour for dinner
arrived and passed, and the strangers
did not return, nor have they been since heard of.
In the course of the evening the landlady went for some cash to her
bureau in the bedroom, which
adjoins the room occupied by the strangers, and what was her dismay
to find that the lock had been
picked, and the money, said to be about £50, stolen therefrom. The
unfortunate landlady had laid by
the money for the purpose of paying her spirit merchant on that very
evening. No tidings have been
obtained of the thieves.
