Letters: Sir, I observe in your paper of this week a report of a
meeting of the Watch Committee, held for the purpose of enquiring
into certain charges made on a previous occasion by myself and Mr.
Jefferey against Superintendent Steer. The report states that the
complainant did not appear. I am not aware which person might have
been kind enough to furnish you with the information, but I do think
before such information is sent it should be ascertained to be
correct. I beg to say that I did not, either jointly with Mr.
Jeffery or by myself, make any charge against Superintendent Steer,
and it therefore could not be necessary for me to attend a meeting
of the Watch Committee for the purpose of enquiring into a charge
which I have never preferred. By inserting this letter you will
oblige.
Your obedient servant, John Minter.
Folkestone, 9th Feb., 1855.
Sir, I shall feel obliged by your inserting in your next
publication, my distinct and positive denial of having used Mr.
Joseph Gambrill's name, as alleged by Mr. Steer in his explanation
to the magistrates, of the compromise offered by him to me,
respecting the broken knockers, or having said it was the first
knocker I had broken; and further that I did not go to the "Rose" and
"King's Arms Inns" to seek for Mr. Gambrill, and also to myself, this
should be made public, the magistrates not allowing me to make any
statement in answer to the one made by Mr. Steer. As to the meeting
of the Watch Committee, I can only say I was not aware there was to
be one.
Yours obediently, John Jeffery.
Folkestone, Feb 10, 1855.

Dover Chronicle 14 April 1855.
Quarter Sessions, Wednesday; Before J.J. Lonsdale Esq.
There was but one prisoner for trial, John Philpott, 21, for
obtaining 10s. under false pretences from Mary Ann Freezer. It
appeared the prosecutor, John Gillivin, unable to write, got the
landlord of the Commercial Inn to write a note to Mrs. Greezer
desiring her to send him the 10s., and sent the note by the
prisoner, who withheld the note, and obtained the money, Mrs.
Freezer believing she knew the prisoner – but that turned out to be
a mistake.
Mr. John Minter, who appeared for the prisoner, endeavoured to show
that the note deposed to was only a direction enabling the prisoner
to find Mrs. Freezer's residence, and that having obtained the money
he went to his father's house at Cheriton, thence to Hythe, where he
got tipsy, and, but for the incapacity thus caused, he would have
handed the money to the prosecutor.
This ingenious defence seemed to influence some of the jury, as they
were a considerable time absent. Eventually they brought in a
verdict of Guilty.
The Recorder said he entirely agreed with the jury. In consideration
of the prisoner having been already in gaol two months, he should
sentence him to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. He
perceived by the list prisoner could neither read nor write, which
he considered a disgrace to him and his parents, there being a
national school in the parish. As to the excuse set up that he was
tipsy and incapable, it was another instance of the connection,
almost universal, of drunkenness and crime.
