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.

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.

Larceny.
George Mead, No. 8, Russell-street, Sydenham, was charged with
stealing a quantity of whisky from the bar of the "Dartmouth Arms,"
Forest-hill.
It appeared by the evidence of the barman, that the prisoner reached
over the bar and turned the spirit tap on, partly filling a quart
measure, he (the barman) having just turned his back to speak to
some person in the passage. On looking round he saw the prisoner in
the act of taking the whisky away, and jumping over the bar, a
scuffle ensued, by which all the whisky was spilt on the floor.
The prisoner was sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment.

Sydenham Times, 30 September 1862.
Assaulting the Police.
Robert Johnson, a labourer, living in Willow-road, Sydenham, was
charged at the Greenwich Police Court on Monday, with being drunk,
using obscene language, and assaulting P.C. Greany, 58 R, and P.C.
Critchell, 68 R.
It appeared from the evidence given by the constables, that at
twelve o'clock on Saturday night, the defendant was on his way home
from the "Dartmouth Arms" public-house, and abused and jostled
against several persons whom he met, and on their complaining to the
police, he was taken into custody by P.C. Greany, who was
immediately knocked down by the prisoner, and on P.C. Critchell
coming to the assistance of his brother officer, the defendant bit
his hand, on which constable struck him with his truncheon.
James Phillbrook, Willow-road, Sydenham, said he saw the prisoner
taken into custody, and he thought the police handled the prisoner
very roughly.
Mr. Traill said it could not be supposed the police would be very
mild in their treatment of persons who acted with such violence
towards them as the prisoner was proved to have done, and whatever
injury he had received, he had brought on himself.
Fined 10s., or 14 days’ imprisonment.
