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.

GREENWICH POLICE.
Tuesday, Jan. 17th.
Albert John Leverick, seventeen years of age, was placed at the bar, on
a remanded charge of violently assaulting John Hawkes, by striking him
on the forehead with a brick. The complainant, whose face was bandaged
from the effects of the injuries received deposed that on the night of
the previous Saturday week, he was at the "Gothic Hall" Coffee-house,
Broadway, Deptford. The prisoner was sitting in another seat or
compartment, into which some tea was thrown.
The prisoner got up, and accused witness of throwing the tea, which he
denied; and about a quarter of an hour after, the prisoner came to the
seat where he was sitting, and threw a brick at his head, casing a wound
over the temple, which rendered him insensible. Police-constable 159 K
deposed he took the prisoner into custody, and produced the brick, upon
which were marks of blood. The prisoner, in defence, now stated that the
complainant called him offensive names.
Mr. Seeker told the prisoner that he had been guilty of a cowardly
assault, in exhibition such enmity towards the complainant a quarter of
an hour after the quarrel too place.
He should order the prisoner to pay a fine of £3, or be committed for
six weeks with hard labour. In default of payment, the prisoner was
committed.

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.
