Milton.
The members of the Milton £50 Burial Society held their first annual
meeting on the 4th inst., at the "George Inn," Milton, which was
numerously and respectably attended. The Secretary read a report of the
proceedings of the Committee during the past year, from which it
appeared that the Society was established on the 2nd of April, 1841, and
that although one year only had elapsed since its commencement, 227
members had been enrolled, with every probability of the limited number
(420) being shortly completed.

Robbing a TillI.
At the Police Court on Monday, before G. Some, Esq., Mayor, M. Troughton,
H. Ditchburn, and J. Munn's, Esqrs., Aaron Kemp, a lad age 14, was
charged with stealing two half-crowns from the till at the "George"
public house, Queen Street, on Sunday evening. Amanda Tracey, 12 years
of age, daughter of John Tracy, landlord of the "George" public house,
Queen Street, Milton, stated that on the previous evening, between 7 and
8 o'clock, she saw the prisoner come into the bar and pull out the till
drawer, put his hand into it and take out some money. He then ran away.
She called to her father who was in the coffee-room, and told him what
the prisoner had done.
John Tracy said that on Sunday evening he went into the street in
pursuit of the prisoner, but did not find him. Witness looked into the
till, and missed from it two half-crown pieces, which he was sure were
safe there a short time before. He then gave information to the police.
Police constable Barneschina found the prisoner in a water closet at the
rear of some houses in Terrace Street, between 1 and 2 o'clock that
morning. He found two half crowns on prisoner, who admitted that he had
stolen them from prisoners till. The prisoner, who has been twice
previously convicted, was sentenced to 21 days' hard labour, and then to
be sent to the Redhill Reformatory for three years.

Maidstone Journal and Kentish Advertiser, Monday 27 November 1865.
Serious Charge Against a Gravesend Publican.
On Friday last, at the Mansion House Police Court, London, before the
Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, John Tracy, a licensed victualler, carrying
on business at 19, Queen Street, Gravesend, was brought up on a charge
of having felonously forged and uttered, on the 11th of November, 1864,
a promissory note for the payment of £110, with intent to defraud Mr.
Andrew Eli Redgrave.
Mr. Sleigh, barrister, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Buchanan
for the Defence.
Mr. Redgrave stated that he was a ship-owner, residing at Belvedere,
Erith, Kent, and that in the month of November last year the prisoner
applied to him for a loan of £110. Prosecutor agreed to lend him that
amount, providing he gave a promissory note that it would pay at the
rate of £5 a month, and hand over the balance which might be due at the
expiration of twelve months from that time, and also give two sureties
and two life policies as security. He assented to these terms, and named
his brother, Edward Tracy, and his brother-in-law, John Rowley, has his
sureties. On the 11th of the same month he brought the promissory note,
bearing date 9th of November, 1864, and his brother signed it. He then
took the note away for the purpose of getting Rowley's signature to it,
and then about 3 hours afterwards he gave the note to prosecutor
opposite the "European Tavern" in the city. It then purported to have
been signed by John Rowley, of 45, Devonshire Street, Cambridge Road,
Mile End, and prisoners said that he had seen Rowley, and that the
latter signed it. Prosecutor thereupon paid him £40 in cash, paid £48
additional on the prisoners account; and the balance between these two
sums and the £110 went for the interest and payment on the policies. The
prisoner paid 11 of the £5 monthly instalments. These came to £55,
leaving on the 9th of November, 1865, when the 12 months expired,
another £55 due. In consequence of something prosecutor heard, he
instructed his solicitor to write to Rowley for the payment of this
balance, when Rowley denied that he had ever signed the promissory note.
In cross-examination, the prosecutor admitted that he had signed a
document, which was produced, to the effects that so long as the £110
was regularly paid in £5 monthly instalments, legal proceedings, for
the recovery of the money were not to be put in force. He also admitted
that the prisoner had commenced an action against him for between £500
and £600. He denied that the locking up of the prisoner at this
particular time would be of any advantage to him.
M. Sleigh submitted that the only question in the case was whether
Rowley's signature had been forged.
John Rowley was called, and he distinctly swore that he did not sign the
promissory note, nor had he given authority to the prisoner or anyone
else to sign it on his behalf. He had not seen the prisoner since last
August 12 months.
The usual caution having been administered, the prisoner said he had
nothing to advance in reply to the charge.
The Lord Mayor then committed him for trial on the charge of having
feloniously forged and uttered in the City a certain forged promissory
note with intent to defraud, and said he would accept bail for the
prisoner himself in £50, and two securities in £50 each.
