Woodman Inn, George Street, Greenwich.
Henry Solomon (late of the "Lord Nelson," Old Kent Road,) respectfully
announces to his friends and the public generally that he has taken the
above well-known house, and hopes, by strict attention and civility to
merit a share of patronage, assuring them, also, that every article
supplied by him will not only be first-rate quality, but retailed at the
lowest possible remuneration price.

Kentish Mercury, Saturday 15 April 1854.
Henry Longley, painter, residing at 21, Panton Street, London, was
charged with attempting to utter a counterfeit half crown.
From the evidence of Mr. C. E. Watkins, landlord of the "Woodman Inn,"
George Street, Greenwich, it appeared that the prisoner, who was rather
the worst for liquor, came to the bar of that house and asked for a
glass of pale ale; he was served, when he threw down what appeared to be
a half crown, which his wife talk and looked at. He (witness) then took
it, and at once saw that it was counterfeit, and he told the prisoner
so, who at once said that he had some pence, and wanted the coin back.
Witness refused, and gave him into custody of police constable 190,
whose evidence was to the effect that the prisoner when so taken
declared that he did not know that it was bad, and on him were found in
good money 8s. and some pence. The prisoner now persisted in the same
story, and also as to the correctness of the address he had given. He
was remanded to the next day, for enquiries as to his character, &c.
