Dover Chronicles 4 September 1847.
Deptford.
Mysterious Case of Poisoning.
Verdict of Wilful Murder.
On Friday week, an inquisition, which lasted 5 hours, was gone into
before C. J. Carttar, at the "Garrick's Head, Lower Road, Deptford,
touching the death of Mary Hutchings, the wife of a cooper, aged 48
years, who met her death by poison on Sunday evening last.
It was proved by four medical gentlemen, after a post-mortem
examination of the body, that a large portion of arsenic had been
taken in something she had been induced to drink. A bottle
containing enough of this deadly poison to kill 100 persons was
admitted by witnesses to have been in a drawer in the prisoners
house, but which was during Sunday afternoon removed and the
contents of a bottle containing it thrown into the fire, and the
bottle being then broken thrown down the water closet. The prisoner,
a powerful man of dissipated habits, had long been in the habit of
ill-using the deceased, a delicate little woman.
A verdict of "Wilful murder" was returned.

From the Borough of Greenwich Free Press, 9 February, 1856.
GREENWICH POLICE COURT. Saturday.
Charles Monk, a painter, was charged with stealing £4 from a cash
box, the property of Mr. Standidge, landlord of the "Garrick’s
Head," Deptford.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was employed to
paper an up-stair room, and that he broke off the lock from an
adjoining room, which he entered, and stole £4 from a cash box. On
his road to the station house, the prisoner confessed he had
committed the robbery.
His prisoner now wished the magistrate to deal with the case in a
summary way, and he was committed for six months.
