A Dangerous Woman.

On Saturday last, at the magistrates’ office, Ann Perry, a tramp, was charged before W. Latnbarde, Esq., with having maliciously wounded Samuel Woodhams. The prosecutor keeps a beer house at the bottom of Riverhill, Sevenoaks, and on the previous evening after the prisoner had been about two hours in the house, both Mr. and Mrs. Woodhams requested her to go and find lodgings, but she would not move, and called the latter very vile names. Shortly after Woodhams attempted to put her out, when she threatened to scratch his eyes out, and at the same time drew a knife across his face, cutting him in four places, but fortunately not severely. A labourer named Cherry saw her inflict the wounds, and when Fone, K.C.C., apprehended her in the town the same night, she admitted with an oath what she had done, and at the police station she give up a knife with the remark that that was the tool she had done it with. She was committed for trial.

 

From the Southeastern Gazette, 6 March 1866.

Ann Perry, 31, laundress, married, to unlawfully wounding Samuel Woodhams, at Sevenoaks, on the 5th January. Mr. Ormerod prosecuted. Samuel Woodhams is a beer-house keeper, and the prisoner came to his house. After some little time, she being drunk, he requested her to leave the house. At last he attempted to remove her, whereupon she rushed at him, and cut him across the face with a knife.

Six months’ hard labour.

Mr. Charles Goldsmith, beerhouse keeper, Sevenoaks, was summoned for having sold beer on Sunday, the 10th instant, during the hours of Divine service. It appeared a police constable saw a woman put a bottle through a window of defendant’s house which was afterwards returned. The woman was stopped, and about a pint of beer was found in the bottle. Defendant said she knew nothing of it. Summons dismissed.

LICENSES EXTENDED.

Applications by four licenses for extended facilities were all granted, but a request by Bligh Stuare Mason, on behalf of James Brown (Oxford) Ltd., for a beer, wine and spirits off license for their premises at 73a, High Street, Sevenoaks, was unsuccessful.

ONE FAILS.

The only unsuccessful applicant, Bligh Stuart Mason, said his firm held a lease on the premises at 73a, High Street, Sevenoaks, and had an Excise license under which they were entitled to sell not less than 4 1/4 gallons of beer, a bottle of spirits or bottle of wine at a time. If the Magistrates granted the license the firm would be able to sell beer in smaller amounts, and half bottles of wine or spirits.

Opposition came from the "Chequers," Messrs. Uridges, Messrs. F. Page and the "White Hart," Riverhead.
