High Street
Sandgate
Earliest mention of this house to date is from Kelly's directory
mentioning that George Easton being landlord of the "Inkerman Arms" in 1858.
However, his wife is also mentioned as being a boarding-house keeper as
early as 1855, but no mention of a name to the building given then.
Easton was still the licensee in 1860, but the house was referred to as
the "Prince of Wales" by 1863
and Easton was still there.

ASAULT AT SANDGATE.
Henry Liddle, a soldier, was brought up in custody charged with
assaulting Margaret Widgen, at Sandgate, on the 14th inst.
The complainant deposed that she lived at the "Inkerman Arms" beerhouse.
Prisoner was them drinking with another man. They were in a room
upstairs and she went down stairs, and the prisoner, as she afterwards
learnt, called to her to fetch him some beer, but she did not understand
what he said, as she was too far downstairs and she was not quite sober.
On her return to the room prisoner met her at the door and kicked her in
the mouth, knocking her downstairs. He did not say anything to her
before he did so.
J. W. Howard. Esq., surgeon, stated he was called to attend complainant.
He found she had a very severe wound in her face, and an extensive
bruise over the whole of one side of it.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
Timothy Sullivan, a repulsive-looking fellow, was brought up in custody
on remand, before T Denny, Esq., at Hythe, on Saturday, having committed
a dastardly assault on a female with whom he had been cohabiting. At the
previous examination Sarah Ann Allard said she was living at the "lnkerman Arms," beerhouse, Sandgate, and had known the prisoner some
time. He had been living with a female named Elizabeth Pentle, at the "Inkerman
Arms," for about three months. On Saturday night last the prisoner went
out and did not return; and on Monday morning a little before ten
o'clock witness, accompanied by Elizabeth Pentle, went to the "True
Briton" beerhouse, where they found him in the bar, lying on a form,
asleep. Pentle woke him, and a few words passed between them and he
struck her. She struck him again and they both fell on the ground.
Witness with the prisoner and Pentle, afterwards left the "True Briton"
and returned to the "Inkerman Arms." After the prisoner had sat down a
few minutes he rushed over to Pentle, who was sitting at the other and
of the room, and knocked her down. He then kicked her a number of times
on the head with all his force. She cried for mercy, and he then dragged
her by the hair of her head from the fire-place to the door, and stamped
twice on her head with the heel of his boot. She then became insensible,
her head being covered with wounds. There was no one else in the room.
Owing to the precarious state of the injured female she was unable to be
present. On Saturday the prosecutrix attended and corroborated the
evidence of Sarah Ann Allard. The prisoner asserted that when he was at
the "True Briton" beerhouse asleep the prosecutrix struck him with a
quart pot on the head, but this she denied.
He was again remanded till
Thursday.
