From the Kentish Gazette, 1 February 1842.

NEW ROMNEY.

The inhabitants of this town testified their loyalty in various ways. The bells of St. Nicholas Tower sent forth their merry peals throughout the day; a banner was hoisted on the steeple top, while gay colours floated in the breeze; the town band played several lively airs, and gave animation to the joyous occasion; the principal shops were closed during the afternoon, and business gave way to pleasure. At five o’clock upwards of forty of the tradesmen and inhabitants of the town and its vicinity sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by Mr. Mortley, of the "New Inn." The chair was ably filled by Mr. Humphrey, supported by Mr. Smith, as his deputy, and a most agreeable and pleasant evening passed. Some very excellent toasts and sentiments were introduced, interspersed with a variety of songs. The vocal abilities of Messrs. Edwards, Humphery, Ayers, and Mann were much applauded, and deserve particular notice; indeed every thing was delightful and joyous, the band enlivening the party at intervals. The leading toasts were— "The Queen," "the Queen Dowager," "Prince Albert," "the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal," "the remainder of the Royal Family," "the King of Prussia," "the Duke of Wellington," &c. &c.

From the Kentish Gazette, 31 January 1843.

On Friday last some seafaring men engaged with a man at Folkestone to take them to the "Woolpack Inn," on the Rye road, for a certain sum. He accordingly started with his freight, and having arrived at the "New Inn," New Romney, they alighted for some refreshment, when the driver said he should not let his horse stand in the cold, but would take him round into the yard; instead of which he turned a road that led him home again, and away he went with all the speed the poor animal was able, sailors’ clothes and all. However, pursuit was quickly given, and he was taken at his own house, the things produced, and he had to pay the sailors’ expenses or return to Romney with them, which he did not relish.

Whilst the above was taking place, the gaoler and other officers from Rye came in pursuit of two men, that had been selling paper about the streets, for some misdemeanour they had committed at Rye, and found them at the sign of the "Plough," when they were secured, and taken back to Rye, and were, we understand, to be taken before the magistrates the next morning. The particulars of the charge against the men did not transpire.

From the Kentish Gazette, 7 January 1845.
