Kentish Gazette, 24 February 1857.
A Silent Member.
A young fellow with a jaunty and indifferent sort of air, giving the
name of John King, and stating himself to be a seaman, was brought
up on suspicion of being a deserter. At an early hour in the morning
he accosted Constable Holloway, as to his knowledge of a Mrs. King
keeping Market House; but the constable knew no such house - only
"Market Hall," which prisoner said was not the place, and that perhaps
his mother was dead as he had been absent seventeen years, — and
from other matters which transpired, about prisoner saying his
mother formerly lived there, he was induced to take him into custody
on suspicion of having deserted from a regiment at Dover. A message
laving been sent thither, a reply was received of such a person
having deserted from the 42nd five years ago, when lying at
Stirling, but nothing further was elicited to ground the suspicious
of the policeman; and the prisoner refusing to give any account of
himself, there was no alternate but to discharge him. On leaving
the bar, he expressed his regret that he never had been a soldier, —
for the very good reason that he was disabled by a palpitation of
the heart. One of the magistrates stated that he remembered a person
named King keeping a coffee-shop in the neighbourhood indicated 15
or 16 years ago.

Whitstable Times and Herne Bay Herald, Saturday 14 April 1888.
The Market Hall Inn, Canterbury, England.
I have taken six bottles of "Warners Safe Cure" and "Warners Safe
Pills," and am very much better. They have done me a lot of good. I
have not had a bilious attack since I began taking "Warners Safe
Cure," and have found great benefit. I have recommended it to a lot
of people.

Looks like name from Ye(?) Cathedral Restaurant. The Cathedral
Restaurant/Market Hall is shown as advertising/selling Beer & Co's Ales.
Alfred Beer's Original Brewery,** located on Broad Street, was declared
bankrupt in 1891 and the company's small tied estate was eventually sold (in
1894) to Messrs. B.C. Bushell & Co's Black Eagle Brewery, Westerham. After
two more acquisitions, this company then became Bushell, Watkins and Smith
Ltd, whose Westerham Fine Ales were later being sold at the Market Hall, as
shown in the c.1905 photograph.
**As opposed to George Beer's Star Brewery, also located on Broad Street.
Apparent the Beer brothers did not get on!
