Plumstead
Kentish Gazette, 1 March 1803.
Firming v. Childs.
This was also an action for an assault. The plaintiff was a
publican at Shooter’s-hill, and the defendant was in the same line
of business at Northfleet. They both let out horses, which
occasionally put up at each other’s stables. The defendant
conceived, that the plaintiff had not taken much care of those
belonging to him, he therefore went to his house, with a
determination to insult and quarrel with him. He aggravated the
plaintiff to that degree, that he gave him the lie, upon which he
struck him so violent a blow, that be knocked him against the
chimney-piece. It was clearly proved, the defendant was the wilful
aggressor; therefore the Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff,
damages £50.

Kentish Independent, Saturday 25 August 1883.
Blackheath Petty Sessions. Public House Licences.
The renewal of public house licences was then proceeded with, the police
inspectors of the several localities reported all complaints and special circumstances as the list was gone
through. In reference to a taven at Plumstead, the Bench had received a letter stating that the licensed
tenant did not reside in the house, as required by the conditions of his licence, but held a situation in the
Royal Arsenal, and had a private residence. In answer to the magistrates, Inspector Clark said he
believed it was true that the tenant was employed in the Royal Arsenal, but he had frequently seen him on the
premises, and had no reason to suppose that he lived elsewhere.
The Bench renewed the licence.
