Kentish Gazette, 10 August 1852.

BANKRUPTCY COURT. August 5.

IN RE BRIDGES.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)

The bankrupt, a licensed victualler, of Canterbury, applied for his certificate, unopposed by the assignees.

Mr. Bugley supported; Mr. Linklater, for a creditor, opposed mainly on the ground of removal of property, and general misconduct as a trader.

Evidence having been gone into, and Mr. Bagley heard in reply, is Honour said that there had been an highly improper removal of property in the night-time; but he thought the evidence went to show, that the property belonged to this bankrupt's father, and had been merely lent to the son. The Court, however, would not allow the indiscretion of the bankrupt's wife respecting the removal of the property to influence its decision upon the question of certificate. As to the general facts of the case it appeared that the expenses exceeded the profits, and that having commenced the present business under great disadvantage he had incurred £1100 of debts, the assets being about £200 but seeing the line of business in which the bankrupt was engaged he was justified in struggling to retrieve himself, and ultimately awarded the certificate.

 

From the Kentish Chronicle, 9 June, 1860.

ASSAULT ON A WIFE.

(Before the Mayor, W. Mount and E. Wootton, Esqrs.)

George Reed, keeper of a beer-house in Castle-street was brought up in custody on a charge of assaulting his wife on Saturday.

Mary Reed, the complainant, deposed:— That on Saturday in consequence of not giving the defendant a penny change he struck her. He was regularly in the habit of using obscene and disgusting language, and had frequently threatened to do her bodily harm. She was really afraid something dreadful would take place. She did not wish to have the defendant punished, but to obtain protection from his violence.

The defendant's daughter stated that her father struck her on Sunday morning.

A son of the defendant here stood forward and said it was very painful to appear in Court against his father, though the latter was continually abusing all his family and calling them disgusting names. He wished the Court to grant his mother protection, as he was afraid every day he should hear of some serious injury being done to her. He attributed his fathers conduct entirely to drink.

The Mayor commented very severely upon the conduct of the defendant, who was committed to the city gaol for three months with hard labour.

Robert Styles, the landlord of the "Kings Head," has been summoned for having his house open for the sale of liquors at 11:50 o'clock, a prohibited hour. A policeman found about 20 person's drinking in the house, and returning again at 12:45, found five drinking champagne.
