Tanner's Green

Only the one instant found of this one so far and that was when it was being sold, so could well have been the end of this.

I also don't know of a Tanner's Green in Faversham, so local knowledge required thanks.

Southeastern Gazette, 5 July 1853.

George Scoones, landlord of the "Queen Adelaide," appeared at the borough sessions on Wednesday last, to answer two informations preferred against him by John Orpin, superintendent of police, the one for not admitting a constable into his house when requested to do so and the other for opening his house for the sale of beer and spirits before half-past twelve o’clock on Sunday, the 26th of June. William Fowler, one of the borough police, proved that on the night of the 19th June he went to defendant's house, after midnight, and knocked loud for admittance, but although he could hear people in the house, and the beer-engine going, no one came to the door.

John Taylor, another of the borough police, proved that on the morning of the 26th June, at about half-past two, he saw a person come out of Scoones’s house, and he appeared to be intoxicated.

Defendant denied hearing the constable knock on the 19th and on the 26th; this person who came out of his house had been assisting him in his books. A witness was called who proved this statement to be true.

Fined £5 for not admitting the constable, and the other case was dismissed.
