Hythe County Petty Sessions, Thursday: Before the Rev. E. Biron,
Thomas Denne, Esq., and Capt. Kirkpatrick.
George Taylor, of Horn Street, in the parish of Cheriton, was
charged with assaulting Francis J. Pointon, corporal in the 20th
Foot, stationed at Shorncliffe Camp.
Complainant deposed that he was on duty at Cheriton on the night of
the 25th August. He had a picquet of eight men under him. Two were
posted at the White Lion, and six at the Three Horse Shoes. Between
eleven and twelve o'clock a man came out of the Three Horse Shoes in
an intoxicated state, and commenced abusing the picquet. The
defendant then came up with about ten or a dozen others armed with
sticks, &e. I he defendant carried a side board of a cart, and
threatened to cleave the first man down that approached him.
Complainant, with the picquet, retired, and as they were doing so
defendant struck him twice in the neck with his fist.
Jonathan Taylor, and several other soldiers who constitutes! the
picquet, corroborated the previous witness’s statement, and produced
the hoard with which defendant had armed himself.
Several witnesses for the defendant said they were present at the
time of the alleged assault, but no blows were struck. The defendant
they admitted was armed with a board, but he merely carried it on
his shoulder.
The Bench lined defendant £1 14s. including costs, which he paid.

Hythe Petty Sessions.
Thursday, April 2nd: Before Rev. E. Biron, Thomas Denne Rsq., and
Capt. Kirkpatrick.
Robert Miles, a private in the 53rd Regiment, stationed at
Shorncliffe Camp, appeared to summons, charged with wilfully
damaging a lamp, the property of Michael Murray, thereby doing
injury to the amount of 6s. 6d.
Prosecutor, who keeps the Three Horseshoes beerhouse, in the Parish
of Cheriton, said: On the 23rd March last, the defendant was in my
skittle alley, which adjoins my house. There was a lamp in the
skittle alley, which hung from the roof, about 7 feet from the
ground. I was in another part of my house and heard the noise of
broken glass. Witness then went into the skittle alley, and saw the
lamp was broken. The defendant had then the skittle ball in his
hand. I accused the defendant of breaking the lamp. He said he did
not break the lamp, but it was done accidentally. He offered to pay
9d., but I would not take it. He afterwards said he would make good
the lamp.
The Chairman said they could not convict the defendant of the
offence, as he did not appear to have done it maliciously, and
recommended complainant to take proceedings in the County Court for
the damages.

Folkestone Chronicle 22 September 1866.
Shocking Accident.
On Thursday night, as a poor woman, wife of a private soldier
stationed on the Camp at Shorncliffe, was passing over the line at
the level crossing near Cheriton Street, she was knocked down and
run over by the mail train, nearly severing her head from the body,
and otherwise fearfully mutilating her. Her remains were taken to
the Three Horseshoes public house, at Cheriton Street, where an
inquest will be held this afternoon. She had not long left this
house, where she had been drinking during the afternoon, and it is
supposed that, being somewhat in liquor, and unaware of the near
approach of the train, she unfortunately met with her untimely and
horrible death.
