PEMBURY.
In the case of the bankruptcy of William C Killick, late landlord of the
"Camden Arms Hotel," Pembury, Mr. Trustram applied at the Tunbridge
Wells Court on Wednesday for an order to sell goods which had been found
in the possession of the bankrupt, and the ownership of which was
disputed. Mr. Cripps, who said he appeared for the real owner of the
goods, objected to the granting of the application, on the ground that
the Court had only power to make an order for the sale of goods which
were clearly the property of the bankrupt. Mr. Trustram asserted that
the Court had the power to make the order, and said the only object of
the application was that the goods might be sold under the authority of
the Court, leaving the question of ownership to be settled by the
disputants as they pleased. He wished it to be understood that whoever
sold the goods would be liable only for so much as they realised, and
not for any value which might be put upon them when the question as to
whom they belonged was tried in that Court. His Honour said one of the
rules clearly gave him power to make the order, and he therefore
authorised the selling of any goods found in the possession of the
bankrupt. |

PEMBURY: DRUNK AND RIOTOUS.
Elizabeth Ray and Mary Jane Kay, mother and daughter, were brought up in
custody by P. C. James Vennell, charged with being drunk and riotous,
and with assaulting him in the execution of his duty, at Pembury, on the
12th inst. The police officer said:- Last evening his attention was
called to the prisoners, who were creating a disturbance in the
High-street, Pembury, near the "Camden Hotel," being very drunk. The
elder prisoner was by far the most violent and riotous, and on
apprehending her she bit him on the leg and kicked him on the knee, also
making an attempt to kick him else where. Whilst he had hold of the
prisoner, Elizabeth, the younger female, attacked him, and he had to
keep her off with one hand and hold her mother with the other. He
procured a conveyance, and on the road to Tunbridge Wells the prisoners
continued their bad language and violent conduct. The prisoners had come
into the neighbourhood for employment in the hop grounds, and the elder
prisoner he knew had been convicted and charged before the magistrates
five times previously. In answer to the charges, the accused said they
were not drunk; in fact, they were more fatigued than drunk. They also
denied using bad language. The Chairman said the prisoners were in such
a helpless state on the preceding evening, that they were not in a
position to know what they did say. It was shameful for the mother to
bring her daughter up in this way, and they hoped the latter would not
follow in the footsteps of her parent. The younger prisoner would be
discharged, and the mother would be fined 10s., and costs 10s.; in
default, 14 days' imprisonment. Prisoner asked for time, but the Bench
refused the application on the ground of her disgraceful conduct. |

DRUNK AGAIN.
Absalom Beaney, horse dealer, was charged with being drunk, at Pembury,
on the previous day, while in charge of a horse and cart.
Defendant, after a good deal of prevarication, said he was there, so he
supposed he must plead guilty.
P.C. James Vennell stated the case. He saw defendant get out of his cart
and go into the "Camden Hotel," at Pembury. They refused to serve him
with any drink on account of the state he was in. Two persons had been
driving with defendant, but they left him and would no longer trust
themselves in his cart. He was so drunk that witness could not let him
drive, so he locked him up.
The Chairman said it was bad enough to get drunk, but it was still more
serious for a man who was in charge of a horse and cart to be in such a
state. Defendant would be fined 10s., and costs 5s.; in default, 14
days' imprisonment.
The money was paid.
