Kentish Gazette, Friday 31 January 1794.

Care of ulcerated legs without rest, and ulcers of various parts, are, although of the most inverterate kind, and ever so long standing.

Has the common treatment of ulcerated legs is often unsuccessful, and frequent relapses after a supposed cure the consequence, encouraged by the advice and solicitations of his friends and his unremitting success in the line of practice, exemplified for many years past by indubitably facts, with a view to extend his services more generally to those who labour under the above dreadful diseases, Mr. Hankins, surgeon and Apothecary at Tonbridge, begs leave to inform the public, that he may be consulted personally on the first Thursday in every month, between the hours of 8 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon, at the "Mitre Tavern," in Maidstone.

Aware as he is of the illiberal conscience too often attached to this mode of application, he humbly hopes the afflicted will not be influenced thereby, so as to preclude a fair trial and investigation.

References may be made to the following respectable person recently cured by Mr. Hankins, many of them having laboured under ulcerated legs of 30 years standing.

Sheriff's Courts.

On Monday last, a court of inquiry was held at the "Mitre inn," before Charles Scudamore, Esq., Deputy Sheriff, to assess damages in the case of Smeed v. Leech.

Mr. Horn (instructed by Mr. Morgan,) was for the plaintiff, Mr. Delasaux, solicitor, of Canterbury, for the defendant.

It appeared that an action had been brought against the defendant, who is an auctioneer, in consequence of a guarantee that he had given, for seeds sold by him at public auction and which he was not authorised to give, the sale being illegal.

COUNTY COURT.

Before James 'Espinanse, Esq., Judge.

Spencer v. Carew:—

An action brought by the plaintiff, who is the landlord of the "Mitre Inn," Maidstone, against the defendant. a Lieutenant in the 16th Lancers, now stationed at the Manchester Barracks, to recover £12 5s., viz., £10 10s. for a mirror, broken by him, and £1 15s. for refreshments supplied.

The plaintiff proved that the old mirror, which had been broken cost ten guineas, and that the new one cost £12 15s.,although he had charged ten guinea only for it.

His Honor expressed himself satisfied with the evidence as to the mirror, but could not allow for the Champagne supper for the servants.

Mr. Morgan said that Mr. Sidney Spencer had gone four times to ask the officers what they realty meant us to the men's suppers, and each time he was told positively to let them have what wine they required.

His Honor said that might be, but he thought champagne had not been intended, and he should allow ten shillings for the defendant's share of the supper.

Judgment for the plaintiff £11, with costs of attorney, and immediate payment.

Accident.

On Saturday one of a number of large-sized flower-pots, containing shrubs, placed over the entrance to the "Mitre Hotel," Maidstone, was blown off by a sudden gust of wind, and in falling it struck a respectably-dressed woman, who was walking beneath, at the back part of her head. The woman, who had a child in her arms, was knocked down, but on being taken into the house it was found that she had not received any serious hurt, and she was able to proceed on the same afternoon to Cranbrook, to which place she was journeying.

The child, though falling out of her arms, was uninjured.
