Kentish Gazette, 18 April 1854.

Richard Thomas Hart, formerly living at the "Duke on Horseback," High-street, Woolwich, carpenter and joiner, afterwards of the Queen's Bench Prison, a prisoner for debt, and lastly, of the "Cock," Wilmington, near Dartford, licensed victualler, carpenter and joiner, applied to be discharged. Mr. Reid supported the insolvent. A creditor opposed on several grounds. After a lengthy examination by the creditor, with a view to show fraudulent preference and the obtaining goods under false pretences, his Honour ordered the insolvent to be discharged, remarking that he did not think there was a tittle of evidence adduced to substantiate the allegations of the detaining creditor.
