MONGEHAM. The Case of Hobbb Stealing and Quick Recovery of the Stolen Animals.

At the St. Augustine’s petty sessions, on Saturday last, James Watson, alias Jones, was brought up on remand, charged with having stolen three horses, two the property of Miss M. Bray, of Great Mongeham, and the third the property of Mr. Bass. The case had been adjourned for the attendance of additional witnesses.

Henry Hards stated that he was ostler at the "George Inn," Wrotham. On the night of Wednesday, the 1st inst., he saw the prisoner, with three horses, in the inn yard. The animals appeared to have been travelling, and the prisoner remarked that they were tired. The horses taken from the stables by the police were those brought there by the prisoner.

Peter Thomas Gilman, landlord of the "White Horse" public-house at Sandway, Lenham, deposed that the prisoner called at his house with three horses, at about half-past ten on the night of the 1st of February. In answer to witness, prisoner said he had come from Ashford market, where he had sold five horses. He wanted 20 guineas for the grey.

Able Squire, a private in the 23rd Regt., stationed at Walmer, proved travelling with the prisoner by train, from London to Deal, on the 1st February. On reaching Deal, they both went to the "Nelson" public-house, where witness left the prisoner about eight o’clock. While at the public-house the prisoner asked him what trade he was. He replied, a blacksmith. The prisoner then asked him if he could not get him some picklock keys, as he (prisoner) could get many a truss of hay and corn out of stables for his horses. Witness told him that he could not.

In answer to the charge, the prisoner said he bought two of the horses on the 1st of February. He gave £45 for the grey, and a little pony and £10 in exchange for the other. He was fully committed for trial at the intermediate session at Maidstone.
