BAPTISM.

4 July 1815. John son of John & Mary Ann Divall, Victualler of the "Castle" Public House, Village.

 

Kentish Mercury, Saturday 21 April 1849.

DISORDERLY CONDUCT.

A young man of respectable appearance, named Henry Syrett, tailor, of Rushey Green, Lewisham, was charged under the following circumstances:—

Charles Atkins, beadle of Lewisham, said that last evening about six o’clock as he was passing by the "Castle Tavern," Lewisham, he heard a disturbance. He found the prisoner inside who was behaving in a very riotous manner. Witness endeavoured to prevail on the defendant to leave the house, but he immediately put himself in a fighting attitude and used threatening language.

Mr. W. Claringbold, landlord of the "Castle," said the defendant came to his house intoxicated. Witness put him out, and the defendant then used very rough language to Mr. Atkins.

Mr. Inspector Miller said the prisoner was committed for one month in September 1847, for assaulting the police. The constable was so much injured that he has since been labouring under great bodily suffering.

The prisoner expressed his regret.

The magistrate said it was very necessary the prisoner should he punished, and inflicted a fine of 20s. or in default to be committed for 21 days.

 

Orr's Kentish Journal, 20 September 1862.

Melancholy Death.

On Wednesday evening last as Mary Ann Percy, a married woman, living at Deptford-green, was walking through Lewisham with her husband, she was taken suddenly ill, and upon being carried into a house in High-street, immediately expired. The body was conveyed into the "Castle inn," and the coroner informed.
