Kentish Gazette 23 June 1809.
Last Sunday, a Man of Colour, who had eloped from one of his Majesty's
ships lying in the River, came to the "Lord Nelson" public house at
Chalk, and at an early part of the evening requested a lodging, and
begged permission to lay down, as he had travelled until weary. Mrs.
Goldsmith the landlady, not liking his appearance, he having exposed to
her view a brace of pistols, and her husband being from home, she would
not permit him to go up stairs, but suffered him to lay down in an
outhouse. Some persons from the ship being in pursuit of him, he was
taken the same evening, when it appeared he was a Captain's Steward, and
had robbed his master of cash to the amount of £20, some plate, and a
gold watch, with which he was making off.

Coroner’s Inquest.
At the "Lord Nelson Tavern," Chalk, on Thursday last, an inquest was
held, before T. Hills, Esq., coroner, on the body of Samuel Kurley,
aged 63, late of Brunswick-road, Gravesend, who committed suicide on
Sunday.
Edward Palmer, a private in the Royal Marines, found deceased
hanging on an elm stump, by a piece of cord.
Mr. Pascoe, a pilot, a distant relative of deceased (who had
formerly been a lapidary, but latterly a labourer), said he believed
deceased’s late melancholy was owing to his having had the relief
which he had been receiving from the Gravesend union discontinued.
It transpired, however, that he had been living in a house the rent
of which was £15 per annum.
Verdict, "Temporary insanity."
