Alleged thefts.

At Dartford Police Court on Tuesday, William Webb, no fixed abode, was charged on the remand with stealing a motorcycle and sidecar, the property of Mr. Harry Lawrence, Long Pond Cottages, from the Sandpits at Borough Green, on July 6th. He was further charged with stealing a pony, van and harness from the "Fox and Hounds," Meopham, and 4 bicycles from the "Tollgate Inn," Northfleet, on the same day. As a result of enquiries prisoner was arrested in London last Monday week and brought up at Dartford the following day, being remanded for a week, and his second appearance before the Magistrates resulted in his being committed for trial at the next Quarter Sessions at Maidstone. The police evidence was that Webb admitted stealing a case of whisky at Borough Green on June 17th, as well as all the things mentioned in the three charges. Sergeant Murkett, and P.C. Hickmott, of Borough Green, proved finding the pony, van and harness at the Sandpits and the four cycles left abandoned at the sandpits. The motor-cycle and sidecar were recovered at Green Street Green.
