Hythe

 

Only found the one account regarding this at present, and unfortunately no address known other than Hythe. There being no other houses in the area with the same name, this is indeed a new one for me.

 

From the Kentish Gazette, 27 June 1865.

Quarter Sessions.

The Midsummer Quarter Sessions for this Borough were held at the Town Hall yesterday (Monday), before the Recorder, R. J. Biron, Esq.

There was only one prisoner for trial, a prostitute named Catherine Roberts, who was charged with stealing £13 17s. 6d. from the person of Edward Coleman, a fisherman, living at Walmer Road, near Deal, on the 29th May last. On the day in question the prosecutor visited Hythe on business, and having got into the company of the prisoner, she took advantage of his drowsiness at the tap-room of the "Army and Navy" public-house to relieve him of the above-named sum.

he money was subsequently traced to her possession, and, although at the time denying all knowledge of it, she now pleaded "guilty" to the charge, and was sentenced to nine calendar months’ imprisonment.
