From the Maidstone and South Eastern Gazette, 2 October, 1849.

Patrick Halry and Cornelius Goff, two hoppers, were charged with making a disturbance in the house of Alfred Holden, the Bull Inn, at Yalding, and assaulting the constables.

It appears that a number of hoppers, about 100, had met, about eleven at night, from the different beer-shops, at the "Bull," and a regular row took place there between them. They broke each other's heads, smash the windows, broke the cups, shattered everything to pieces, and did considerable damage. The constables for called in, but they were beaten and knocked about as well as others. This continued for about two hours, when many of the inhabitants succeeded in clearing the house. The two defendants were afterwards taken into custody, but in consequence of their being about to leave the neighbourhood, they were fined 3s. each and discharged.

YALDING. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

On Monday evening an accident occurred to Mr. Thomas Shepherd, landlord of the "Bull Inn" in this place. Mr. Shepherd was returning from Maidstone in his cart, when, on arriving near Bow Bridge, the horse shied at some object, and ran away. In turning the corner of the road in the lane leading to Bow-Hill, the cart was overturned, one wheel being torn off. Mr. Shepherd was thrown out and severely hurt, so much so as to be obliged to keep his bed ever since. Fortunately no bones were broken. The cart was much damaged.

South Eastern Gazette, 23 October, 1860.

Mary Flint was indicted for uttering counterfeit coin to Mary Fitch, landlady of the "Bull Inn," Yalding, on the 27th September. Mr. Russell was for the prosecution. It appeared that the prisoner went to the prosecutrix's house and purchased some drink, in payment for which she tendered a shilling, which after prisoner had left was found to be counterfeit. On the following day she returned and tendered another shilling of the same description. Mrs. Fitch detained the prisoner, and sent for Mr. Hubble, the parish constable, and while the prosecutrix was showing the money to the constable, prisoner snatched it away, and swallowed one of the coins.

The jury found the prisoner guilty, but recommended her to mercy on account of her large family. She, however, had been before convicted, and was sentenced to eighteen months' hard labour.
