Broadway
Deptford
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.

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.
