WEDNESDAY.
Margaret Howlett was charged by Mr. William Galer, landlord of the "Navy
Arms Inn," Deptford, with
breaking two of his windows. The defendant went to the house in a state
of intoxication, and created a
disturbance, to the annoyance of the customers. She was ordered to go
away, but refused, and by the recommendation of a policeman he put her out, when she instantly broke
his windows. In answer to a question,
the defendant said it was the fourth time she had been at the court. Mr.
Traill said he was sure it was nearer
four score; and in default of paying the damage, she was committed to
the house of correction for fourteen
days.

Maidstone Telegraph, Saturday 12 September 1868.
Wilful murder at Deptford.
An adjourned inquest was held before Mr. Paine, at Guy's Hospital, on
Thursday, to enquire into the circumstances connected with the death of
Patrick Desmond, 24 years of age, who had died from a number of stabs
received a short time since.
On Sunday week, about 9 o'clock at night, Jeremiah Toomey was sitting
asleep in the "Fishing Smack" beer house, King Street, Deptford, when he
was robbed of 4s. 6d. by Desmond, the latter of whom went away, and was
pursued by Toomey, who was seen to sharpen a knife, and heard to say
that he would put 3 inches of it into the man who had robbed him.
Evidence was given to show that the two men were seen together in the
"Navy Arms" public house afterwards, when Toomey invited Desmond into
the street, and shortly afterwards a shadow of a man using a knife was
seen through the window, followed by a cry from Desmond, who had been
stabbed. The man was afterwards removed to Guy's Hospital, where he
expired. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Jeremiah Toomey,
who has absconded. |
