Folkestone, Kent. To publicans and others in want of a snug business. To be let, with immediate possession, an excellent free house, of recent construction, with stable, lock-up coach houses, granary, lofts, and every convenience for carrying on a good business. The house is neatly furnished, and the fixtures nearly new; the cellarage good, the rooms lofty, and the yard and stables capacious. To an industrious couple this offers very peculiar advantages, as the town is fast improving, and its being the principal port of traffic with the continent, upwards of 50,000 persons passing to and from Boulogne yearly.

Coming-in moderate. To a person who can command about £400, this offers a rare opportunity for investment.

For further particulars apply to Mr. M. Major, Auctioneer, Appraiser, and General Agent, Folkestone.

Note: Unknown premises

 

Maidstone Gazette 25 July 1848

Advertisement: Folkestone, Kent. To innkeepers and the public generally, to be let, and entered upon immediately, an old-established and good-accustomed public house, near the harbour, in the town of Folkestone, containing eight airy and spacious sleeping rooms, good club and bagatelle rooms, convenient bar, kitchen and excellent nine pin alley. The house immediately faces the South Eastern and Continental Steam Packet Station, and has most commanding views of the Channel and French Coast. The external appearance is inviting, having recently been painted with much taste. The present occupier has a good connection, and the only motive for wishing to dispose of it is in consequence of the ill-health of his wife. The furniture and fixtures (which are very good), with the stock, will not exceed £300. Any person who can command the like sum will find this well worthy of attention.

Every information may be obtained of Mr. Major, Auctioneer, Appraiser, House and Estate Agent, Folkestone

Kent Herald 10 August 1848

Notice is hereby given that Thomas Richards, of Folkestone, in the county of Kent, brewer, hath by indenture of conveyance, appointment and assignment, bearing date the twenty seventh day of July, one thousand eight hundred and forty eight, conveyed and assigned all his real and personal estate and effects unto Henry Ree, of Ware, in the county of Hertford, auctioneer, upon trusts for the benefit of the creditors of the said Thomas Richards as therein mentioned. And that the said indenture was duly executed by the said Thomas Richards, on the said twenty seventh of July, in the presence of and attested by George Yarde Spark, of No. 10, Gray’s Inn Place, Gray’s Inn, in the county of Middlesex, solicitor, and was duly executed by the said Henry Ree, on the twenty eighth day of the said month of July, in the presence of and attested by Nathaniel Cobham, of Ware, aforesaid, solicitor. And notice is hereby further given, that such of the creditors of the said Thomas Richards as shall neglect or refuse to make due proof of their claims (if required) and assent to the said deed on or before the thirty first day of August instant, will be excluded from the benefit thereof, and all persons indebted to the said Thomas Richards are requested forthwith to pay their debts to the said Henry Ree, or to Messrs. Cobham and Ashfield, of Ware aforesaid, his solicitors.

Dated this first day of August, one thousand eight hundred and forty eight.

Early on Thursday morning (Aug. 3) as Mr. Fisher was on his way home from the Star, Newington, next Hythe, he saw a man in charge of two carts and horses, which created in his mind some suspicion that all was not right. He watched the premises in the immediate locality, and, in so doing, walked round to Mr. Thos. Rigden’s malthouse, when he saw a man coming out with a sack of malt on his shoulder. Fisher collared him, when a violent struggle ensued, which lasted for 15 or 20 minutes; help being obtained, the man was secured. An accomplice endeavoured to escape, but was secured by a young man by the name of Dunn, who, with Mr. Fisher, displayed considerable courage and determination. Further assistance being rendered, the three men were safely lodged at the Star until the forenoon, when they were brought down for examination before the county magistrates in Hythe, who fully committed them to gaol to take their trial. Two of them stated they resided in Dover Lane, Canterbury; the other at Littlebourne, near Canterbury. They gave their names – Thomas Cook, John Stroud, George Marshall. It appears that 19 sacks of malt were already taken, and in all probability, in a quarter of an hour, but for this timely detection, sufficient to have filled both carts would have disappeared. Cook is the same man that was stopped by the police of Canterbury about seven years ago with a wagon load of malt, for which he could give no account, and which, after very fruitless enquiry had been made, was seized by the Excise.

 

Canterbury Journal 9 September 1848.

Court of Bankruptcy, Sept. 4: Re. Richards, Folkestone.

This was the first meeting for the proof of debts and choice of assignees under the of Thomas Richards, of Mill Lane, Folkestone, brewer, &c. Mr. Bower, of Chancery Lane, agent for Mr. Hart, of Folkestone, attended as solicitor to the fiat, which was issued on the 16th of August last, upon the petition of Mr. John Isaac Pope, of Folkestone, builder, a creditor for £77 17s.

It appeared that the bankrupt packed up his furniture and property on the 16th of August last, and was assisted by G. Fynn, a labouring man, to remove it to the railway for London, when the present summary mode of taking possession of it was adopted by Mr. Pope, the petitioning creditor.

After the admission of several proofs, Mr. Pope was chosen assignee, and accepted the choice, and further proceedings were adjourned until the 13th October next, on which day the bankrupt must come up to pass his last examination.

Protection was granted the bankrupt in the interim.

Viaduct Brewery, most likely Mill Bay.

I have come to the conclusion that the Viaduct Brewery was in Mill Bay and was the brewery that was eventually acquired by Mackeson in about 1886. The Viaduct had been constructed just a few years previously, so was a reasonable name for him to use, given the proximity of it to Mill Bay. Jan post.

 

Kent Herald 28 December 1848

Court of Bankruptcy: Re. Richards, Folkestone.

The bankrupt, Thomas Richards, of Folkestone, brewer, came up to pass his last examination. Dr., to creditors, £712 7s. 8d.; ditto, holding security, £660 16s.; ditto, estimated to be valueless, £320 16s.; liabilities, £100. Cr., by debtors, good, £21 18s.; doubtful, £59 17s. 9d.; bad (carried to losses); property, £50; in the hands of creditors, £900.

Mr. Bower said he believed the bankrupt had disposed of his property, and then left Folkestone for Guernsey, but as no benefit would arise to creditors by an adjournment, he should reserve his opposition for the certificate meeting.

The bankrupt, in reply to His Honour, said “The fiat was issued against me on the 16th of August. I surrendered myself as soon as I heard of it. I was then in Guernsey, which place I left on the 9th of October, and surrendered on the 11th. I did not know I had been made a bankrupt until the 12th of September. I was ill at the time, and was then staying at Guernsey, and went to Jersey for the benefit of my health. I had no idea of being made a bankrupt”.

His Honour: How can you say that, when you owed nearly £800, and have not given up £20 of property?

After further examining the bankrupt, His Honour said he might pass his last examination, and the proper course would be for the assignees to lay his conduct before him when he asked for his certificate.

The bankrupt then passed.

 

Maidstone Gazette 17 December 1850

Mr. Joseph Messenger sold, on Tuesday, the materials of the old brewery, in Rendezvous and Broad Streets. There was not much competition, nor were all the lots sold. The ground will, however, be cleared immediately, and plots offered for sale.

Petty Sessions: Ham Tite, brewer and maltster, appeared to answer a summons for non-payment of the pavement rate. Case dismissed, the rate not having been legally demanded.

 

Kent Herald 25 December 1851

An important decision was given last week in a case brought before the magistrates, six of whom heard it. It was a summons against Mr. Ham Tite, for refusing to pay a paving rate. Mr. Tite is the owner of several houses which abut on the highway, repaired by the parish, the pathway before his houses being his private property. He refused on the ground that the Pavement Act did not empower the Magistrates to levy a rate for such property. The Chairman (R. Hart Esq.) read the clause, and the magistrates decided that the rate must be paid, and ordered it accordingly. It is rather singular that the defendant is one of the Commissioners of Pavement, and two of the magistrates were also.

Kent Herald 3 June 1852

An illicit still was discovered on Thursday last on the premises of Mr. Vigor, brewer, which was at once seized by the Excise, and conveyed to the Custom House. The still was not at work, but a quantity of molasses and wash was on the premises.

 

Kent Herald 10 June 1852

Letter

Sir, You will please contradict in your paper of next Tuesday that any such thing as a still was found on my premises.

W. Vigor, Folkestone, June 6th.

 

Kent Herald 17 June 1852

It is stated that the still alluded to in a letter from Mr. Vigor last week was found on premises rented of Mr. Vigor by a person named Foord, who stated to the officers when it was seized that it was left there for Mr. Vigor. Molasses and spirits 35 per cent under proof were also found, which will no doubt form a subject of future investigation.

 

Kent Herald 16 September 1852

General Licensing Day, Wednesday: Before J. Bateman, D. Major, W. Major, T. Golder, S. Mackie, and W. Bateman Esqs.

Thomas Foord appeared before the Magistrates last week to answer an information charging him with having a still on his premises in High Street, and also having molasses there, contrary to the statute. Mr. Lewis, of Dover, Collector of Excise, attended to prosecute. Mr. Foord pleaded Guilty to the first count, which charged him with having the still on his premises, and the second and fourth counts the Collector called on the Magistrates to dismiss, which was done. The third count charged him with having on his premises (he being a brewer of beer) 150lbs. weight of molasses, to which he pleaded Not Guilty.

Mr. A. Avery, riding officer at Folkestone, deposed: - On the 28th of May last I went to the defendant’s brewhouse, situate in High Street. I surveyed the brewhouse and found a cask, and asked defendant what it contained, and he said finings. I then took the bung out of the cask, and found it contained molasses. He then admitted it contained molasses, and said he had used some in porter. I then seized the molasses, and on further search found a second cask which contained impure spirits. There were 6½ gallons of this, and the cask of molasses was 150lbs. weight.

Mr. Henry Mutton deposed:- I am Supervisor of Excise of the Dover District. I corroborate the last witness’s testimony in every particular.

The defendant said that he bought the still for old copper, and did not think there was any harm in having it on his premises. As to the molasses, they were there when he took the brewhouse, and he had only removed the cask from the yard into the brewhouse because the sun caused it to leak.

The Magistrates convicted him in the mitigated penalties of £50 each on both counts, and ordered immediate payment.

 

Southeastern Gazette 14 September 1852.

Petty Sessions, Tuesday: Before J. Bateman, D. Major, W. Major, T. Golder, S. Mackie, and W. Bateman Esqs.

Thomas Foord, beer-shop keeper and brewer, in High Street, appeared to answer an information, charging him with having a certain private and concealed still, for making low wines and spirits, in a shed occupied by him.

Alfred Avery, officer of Inland Revenue, stationed at Folkestone, deposed that on the 28th of May last he went to the brewhouse, occupied by the defendant. He surveyed it, and found a cask. He asked defendant what it contained, and he said finings. He then examined it, and found it to contain molasses, about 150 lbs.

Henry Mutton, surveyor of this district, corroborated the evidence of the last witness.

The defendant said that he bought the still for old copper, and the molasses were at the brewhouse before he took it; that it was in the yard, but that the sun caused the cask to leak, and he then took it in the brewhouse.

Fined £50 on each of the first and third counts, and to be paid forthwith, distress warrants being immediately issued.

There was a Thomas Foord, licensee of the "George Inn" to May 1845, so he may have moved pon, but where to, as yet unknown.

Kentish Gazette 13 July 1869.

Re. V. Hoile: In the Court of Bankruptcy last week, the case of this bankrupt came on for hearing. The bankrupt, Valentine Hoile, the younger, is described as formerly of New Street, Margate, brewer; then of Stowmarket, manager of a brewery there; then of 10, Raglan Villas, Folkestone, carrying on business at the "Cinque Ports Brewery," High Street, Folkestone, brewer; and late and now of No. 2, Canterbury Terrace, Folkestone, all in the County of Kent, in no business or employment. This was a sitting for the proof of debts and choice of trade assignees. Mr. J. II. Clark, solicitor, 9, Cook’s Court, Lincoln's Inn, appeared for the bankrupt, who petitioned the Court on the 18th of June last, attributing his bankruptcy to “insufficiency of capital tn carry on my business.” The total amount of the bankrupt's unsecured debts is £623 18s., and Mr. R. Venables, gentleman, of Aldgate, London, is returned as a creditor for £50, holding security on the brewery, plant, &c. The principal unsecured creditors are Mr. George Potter, Guston, near Dover, gentleman, £250; The National Provincial Bank, Folkestone, £50; Mr. Richard Coleman, farmer, Langdon Court, Dover, £60; Mr. Edward Powell, stone mason, Folkestone, £20 7s. 1d.; Mr. George Tite, Folkestone, maltster, £45, &c. The total number of creditors is forty-six, and the remainder, whose debts arc below £20, reside at Sandwich, Canterbury, Folkestone, Margate, and Dover, in this county. No creditor attended this sitting to prove, therefore no trade assignee was appointed, and the Court fixed the 16th of October next, at twelve o’clock, for the examination and order of discharge sitting, to be held before Mr. Commissioner Winslow. Renewed protection from arrest having been granted the bankrupt, the sitting ended.
