Affray by Navvies.

Four navvies were examined before the county magistrates on Saturday, charged with a murderous assault upon police-constable Anderson. It appeared that a mob of navvies had taken forcible possession, of the public-house at South-street, kept by Mr. Hills, and were helping themselves to spirits and beer, when the assistance of the police was called in.

They then set upon the constable, and abused him in a very violent manner, knocking out soma of his teeth, and it was with great difficulty that he was rescued from their clutches. The prisoners were all committed for trial to the next quarter sessions. It was rumoured that their comrades intended to effect a rescue, and a large body of them assembled round the magistrates clerks’ office. The prisoners were, however, conveyed out the back way, and were on their way to prison before their friends were aware that they had left.

(At present I do not know of a South Street in Faversham, or a licensee called Hills. The only Constable Anderson I know was mentioned from the "Rose and Crown" in Selling, but that was 1889.)
