Uttering Counterfeit Coin.
Three lads, named Hayward, Hunt, and Mills, were charged with
tendering a bad half-crown and two base shillings to Mrs. Collard,
of the "Monarch Tavern," Stour-street, on the evening of Saturday
week, in payment of beer, for which they had received the respective
change, and the prosecutrix, on finding that the coin was bad, and
knowing that she had received it of Mills, accused him of having
passed it, when he said he had taken it of his employer, and would
take it back to him. The other two prisoners afterwards called on
Mrs. Collard, and admitted having passed the two bad shillings, and
gave her the amount, but she refused to return the bad shillings,
which she put into the hands of Spratt, the police inspector, who
ascertained that Howard was in the employ of Mr. Alfred Neame, soap
and candle manufacturer, and that he had been occasionally employed
in cleaning out the counting-house, where there was a drawer
containing base coin, from which doubtless he obtained those
tendered to Mrs. Collard. The evidence not being considered
sufficiently conclusive, the prisoners were discharged with a
caution.

From the Kentish Chronicle, 31 January, 1863.
CANTERBURY POLICE COURT. MONDAY.—BREACH OF THE PEACE.
James Green (a returned convict), and James Atkins (sergeant in the 90th
Regt.) were charged with a breach of the peace, shortly before twelve
o’clock on Saturday night. There were a number of people assembled
opposite the “Monarch” public-house in Lamb-lane, when the defendant
Green said he would fight any man in Kent, as his time was up. Atkins
stepped forward, and Green pushed him down, and also struck him. Both
men were taken into custody. Green was fined 20s., or a month's hard labour. The Bench discharged
Atkins, and expressed their regret that he had been taken into custody,
which would not have been the case if he had not been in liquor at the
time. |
