Only the one instance of this found at present, and as the licensee was a bankrupt this was probably the last of this house. The house itself, I don't believe had a drinks license, although it was described as a Coffee and Lodging House and William Miller ended up as a retailer of beer.

 

South Eastern Gazette, 4 September, 1860.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS to be heard at the Sessions House, Maidstone, before the Judge of the County Court of Kent, on Wednesday, the Nineteenth day of September, 1860, at Eleven o’clock in the forenoon precisely.

WILLIAM MILLER, formerly of the "Gothic Hall," Broadway, Deptford, Kent, coffee and lodging-house keeper, and carrying on business as a chemist and druggist at No. 27, Bishopsgate-street, London, and of No. 50, High-street, Poplar, Middlesex, coffee and lodging-house keeper; then of the "Gothic Hall" aforesaid, coffee and lodging-house keeper, and then residing at "Gothic Hall" aforesaid, assistant to Mr. Thomas Johnson; and then and late of "Gothic Hall," Broadway, Deptford, Kent, licensed retailer of beer and tobacco.

 

South Eastern Gazette, 25 September, 1860.

MAIDSTONE INSOLVENT COURT.

WEDNESDAY. (Before J. 'Espinasse, Esq., Judge.)

William Miller, of the "Gothic Hall," Deptford, Broadway, whose case had bean several times before the Court, again came up for hearing: the Insolvency Commissioners having decided that although he had been made a bankrupt since the filing of his petition in this court, the Judge had the power of proceeding with the case in the usual way. Mr. Goodwin now appeared to oppose the insolvent, on the ground of fraudulent preference concealment of property, withholding books, and a vexatious defence to an action. A preliminary question was also raised as to whether the insolvent had a right to be heard on this petition, and Mr. Morgan, the insolvent's solicitor, expressing his willingness that it should be dismissed, that was accordingly done.
