Maidstone Journal, 10 May, 1842.
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. |
