From the Kentish Chronicle and General Advertiser, 17 August, 1861. Price 1 1/2d.
William Mount was charged with assaulting P.C. Beeching, K.C.C., in
Herne Bay, on Sunday, the 11th inst., and Elizabeth Ann Mount, his wife,
with aiding him to escape from custody.
P.C. Beeching said:— I was on duty at Herne Bay. On Sunday morning,
between 12 and 1, I went to the “Little Dolphin,” kept by Mrs. White. I
was requested by Mr. White (son of the landlady; to clear the house, as
he was unable to get the prisoner out, I found Mount on a bench asleep
(or appearing to be), I requested him to leave the premises. I shook him
and tried to wake and get him up. All at once the prisoner got up, and
with oaths declared that he would not be put out by 40 such as I. He
then took hold of my cheek with his teeth, struck me repeatedly and
resisted very much. He ultimately made his escape through the
interference of the latter prisoner, but was recaptured, when she was
also taken into custody.
Mr. Delasaux, who appeared for the prisoners, asked for a remand in
order to produce witnesses whom he said could prove that the constable
was in fault.
The magistrates granted the request, and admitted prisoners to bail in
their own recognizance’s to appear on Tuesday.
TUESDAY.
William Mount and his wife were again brought before the magistrates.
The depositions of the previous day having been road over, William
White, son of the occupier of the “Little Dolphin,” Herne Bay,
corroborated the policemans evidence.
Mr. Delasaux then called two men named Lawrence and Cox, but they in
their evidence contradicted each other.
The Bench convicted the male prisoner in the sum of 40s. and costs, in
all amounting to £3 14s, but acquitted the woman.
The man has been convicted before of an assault on a police constable.
He lives near Herne, and bears a very bad character.
