On Monday and Wednesday the county Justices proceeded with the hearing of the information's against the publicans and beersellers of Chatham, whose cases had not come on at the last previous sitting.

The first case on Wednesday was that of Mr. Eltham, the "Coach and Horses," High-street, Chatham; the facts of which were proved by J. R. Richbell who had visited the house (among others) to observe the conduct of the company in the taproom. A pensioner who lodged in the house was called on the part of the defendant; but before his cross-examination commenced he was taken ill and obliged to be led into the open air. The circumstances of this case were not so gross as in some of the preceding instances, and the magistrates, (who were numerous) retired for a short time, and on their return stated the defendant to be convicted in the penalty of £2 10s and costs.
