South Eastern Gazette, 31 January, 1860.
Robbery at the Infantry Canteen.
On. Wednesday last, a woman named Bridget Marsh was charged before
the city justices with having stolen a quart pewter pot, value 2s.,
the property of Adolphus Bigg, landlord of the "Infantry Canteen."
P. C. Holloway said he was at the shop of a person named Duly, in
Artillery-street, on the previous day, when prisoner offered the pot
for sale. He looked at the pot, and told her he should detain it, as
he believed it was stolen property. Witness then searched for the
owner, and the pot was claimed by the prosecutor.
Mr. Bigg identified the pot as his property. Although the name and
sign had been partly obliterated, he could still trace sufficient to
induce him to swear to the pot.
The prisoner denied the charge, and stated that she received the pot
with some other articles from a man in the barracks.
The case was remanded till Monday.

tracing of the £5 note. In reply to the usual caution from the bench,

SUICIDE AT CANTERBURY.
All inquest was held at the “Cavalry Canteen,” by T. T. Delasaux, Esq.,
at half-past six o'clock on Friday evening, on the body of James
Campbell, 26, a gunner in the G Battery of Royal Artillery, stationed in
the Canterbury Barracks, who had destroyed himself by cutting his throat
with a razor.
Robert Gibson, a sergeant, deposed to seeing deceased last alive on the
previous night between 9 and 10 o’clock, in the mess-room. He had been
low and melancholy for some days. Witness produced two letters which had
been received by the deceased from his mother, representing her to be in
great pecuniary distress. About a quarter to six o'clock this morning
witness heard a dog, which was in the habit of sleeping in the mess-room
with the deceased, making a piteous noise, and going to the room and
opening the door, he found deceased sitting on a form behind it quite
dead, with his throat cut, his back leaning on the table. There was
blood all across the room to the bed, which was about 18 feet from the
place where the body was. Beside the bed there was a large pool of blood
and a razor. It seemed as if the deceased had cut his throat in bed and
then walked across the room to the place where his body was found.
E. Hardinge, Esq., assistant surgeon spoke to being called to the
deceased who was quite dead. He was of opinion that deceased committed
the act while on the bed, and had jumped up and gone across the room.
Their was no doubt but that it was his own act. It would be possible for
a man after indicting such a wound to walk 18 or 20 feet.
The jury returned a verdict, that the deceased destroyed himself while
labouring under a fit of temporary insanity.
