Insolvents.
Frederick Joseph Edgcombe, licensed victualler, of Sheerness, was
opposed by Mr. Sargood, for Sir Henry Meux and Co. The
opposition was merely to obtain possession of the house and
licences, which the insolvent refused to give, on the grounds that
the
rent was regularly paid, and whilst it continue to be paid he would
not give up possession until he hade received a regular notice.
Mr. Morgan, the insolvent's solicitor, advised him to take a
conditional charge on giving up the premises.
The insolvent said he would leave it altogether in the hands of his
Honour.
His Honour said he could not advise him; he was there to adjudicate
upon the case.
A long discussion then ensued, and ultimately the insolvent was
ordered to be discharged, conditionally on filing the licenses in
court, and giving up possession to the opposing creditors. If not
done within three weeks Mr. Sargood to have permission to oppose at
the next court date. |

Stealing money at Minster.
George Witherden, 18, for stealing three shillings and six six-pence's, the moneys of Richard Stone, at Minster in Sheppey.
The prosecutor stated that on the 23rd September he was at his
house, a beer shop, in Sheppey Street, Sheerness, with a money named
in the indignant in his pockets. The prisoner was allowed to sleep
there that night before the fire, as he had no other place to go to.
Witness went to bed about 3 o'clock in the morning in another room
on the same floor, leaving the money in the pocket of his trousers.
On getting up at half past 7 o'clock he missed the money, and the
prisoner had left the house. He went in search for him, and found
him at a public house near the pier, in company with three or four
other persons, drinking. He asked him for the money he had taken out
of his pocket, when he denied having taken any. He then told
prisoner to take out his money, and on his doing so he took hold of
one six months, which he could swear to as being his money, from its
being bent across the middle of it. He also identified another
sixpence found by the constable upon prisoner, as his property, from
it being marked with words "I. T." upon it.
Not guilty.
(Only two houses I know address as
Sheppey Street are the "Cricketers
Arms" and the "Navy
Arms." Richard Stone doesn't appear as licensee of any as
yet. Paul Skelton.)
