CITY PETTY SESSIONS.
Wednesday. (Before the Mayor, Capt. Burton, and E. R. Coles, G.
Essell, and G. Drawbridge, Esqrs.)
A wretched looking object, whose head was swathed in a flannel
bandage, and who gave the name of Ellen Granger, was brought up on
a charge of being found in a state of insensibility at the "Black
Boy" public-house on the previous night.
The landlord said, as he was about to close his house at twelve
o’clock, he found the woman in the parlour quite insensible, and as
he did not like to turn her into the streets at that hour he called
a policeman and gave her into custody.
The woman said she was anxious to go to Gravesend, and there being
no charge against her, she was discharged, the Mayor kindly giving
her a shilling to pay her fare to Gravesend.

CITY PETTY SESSIONS.
Wednesday. (Before the Mayor, Captain Burton, S. Steele, E. R.
Coles, and W. Munclark, Esqrs.)
Alexander Ware and Lewis Kemp were charged with felony. James
Richardson, the landlord of the "Black Boy" public-house stated that
the prisoners entered his house on Sunday night last, at about
eleven o'clock, and after remaining in the tap-room about a minute
they turned round and went out again. The prisoner Kemp appearing to
be embarrassed, prosecutor thought there was something wrong, and on
examining the tap-room missed a quart pot, which he felt satisfied
the prisoners had stolen, upon which he gave information to McGeorge,
the constable, who succeeded in apprehending them with the quart pot
in their possession. The value of the pot was 1s. 6d. Prosecutor
said he had lost three quart pots, and several pints since he had
the house.
Police-constable McGeorge apprehended the two prisoners in the
tap-room of the "Maidstone Arms" public-house, Crow-lane, with the
pot, which they were drinking from. The prisoner Ware admitted that
he had taken the pot, but he was so drunk that he did not know what
he was doing.
Committed for trial.
