From the Kentish Gazette, 14 April 1846.

On Friday morning a very distressing accident took place at the "Dartmouth Arms tavern," Sydenham to a young man named James Andrews, aged 30 years, residing in Southwark-bridge-road. He was engaged, with several persons, at a pigeon shooting match. He had loaded his gun, and whilst discharging it the barrel burst, blowing off his left fingers. Some portions of the barrel struck the persons who were looking on, and severely lacerated one gentleman's foot. The man Andrews was placed in one of the railway carriages, and conveyed with all speed to Guy’s Hospital, where he was placed under the immediate care of the house surgeon. He lies in a very dangerous state.

 

West Kent Guardian 1 January 1853.

GREENWICH POLICE COURT — Tuesday.

Edward Phillbrook, a middle aged man described as a labourer, was charged with creating a disturbance outside the "Dartmouth Arms" public-house, Sydenham, and assaulting the police.

From the evidence of police-constable 80 R, it appeared that on the previous evening a great number of persons had assembled outside the "Dartmouth Arms," looking on at two dogs fighting. He went to separate them and in doing so was brutally assaulted. The prisoner struck him several times.

A witness named Sweeney corroborated the above statement, and added that in assisting the constable he was knocked down several times.

The prisoner called two witnesses, who, however, contradicted each other.

Mr. Seeker fined the prisoner 3s. or one month’s imprisonment for the assault upon the constable, and 2s, or 14 days imprisonment for the assault upon Sweeney.
