The Kentish Gazette, Tuesday 3 June, 1862.
Sittingbourne Petty Sessions.
(Before the Rev. J. Poore, D.D., and J. Dixon, Dyke, Esq.)
Mary Ann Burbridge, a middle aged woman, was brought up on remand,
charged with being drunk, riotous, and indecent in the public street;
with assaulting Mrs. Carpenter, the landlady of the "Globe and Engine,"
Berry's Lane, Sittingbourne; and also with assaulting police-constable
Southern and his assistant while in the execution of their duty, at
Sittingbourne, on 27th May.
Mr. Superintendent Green said that this case was one of the most violent
they had ever had. The prisoner had been drinking in the "Globe and
Engine until she was in such a state as to be compelled to be put out of
the house; she then commenced the assaulting the landlady, and, after
having behaved most indecently in Berry's Lane, assaulted the policeman
who came to take her in charge, as well as young man who had been called
to assist him. They had the greatest difficulty in getting her to the
police station.
In defence, the prisoner said she was quite insensible, and knew nothing
of what she was doing.
She was sentenced to 7 days' hard labour.

Kentish Chronicle 2 February 1867.
SITTINGBOURNE.
Walter Carey, a chimney sweep, and William Fuller, soot dealer, were charged
with being drunk and riotous, and assaulting police-constable Ling,
whilst in the execution of his duty, at Sittingbourne, on the 12th
instant.
From the evidence of the police it appeared that on Saturday
night, about half-past eleven o'clock, the defendant and another man
were fighting with shirts off in front of the "Globe and Engine" public
house, opposite the station yard, when police constables Ling and Newman
went to quiet the disturbance. There was a large crowd collected round
the two men, and they used their utmost endeavours to prevent the
policemen from taking the defendants into custody.
After the police had
seized Carey he was several times released by the mob. Ling was severely
hurt upon one of his legs, where the defendant had tried to bite him and
also received a rough blow upon the chest from the same man; while
Fuller, who was the ringleader of the crowd, took hold of Newman round
the breast tightly to prevent him helping his companion and also knocked
him down. Eventually, however, more constables arrived and the
defendants were found in bed at the "Globe and Engine," where they lodged.
Fuller called witnesses who swore that he did not strike the policeman,
or take part in the disturbance.
Carey was sentenced to two months'
hard labour. The sentence in the case of Fuller was at his request
mitigated to a fine of £5.
