The Public Houses are for the most part in the occupation of unexceptionable tenants, and the majority of them are doing trades, both in beer and spirits, considerably above the average run of Country houses. (None of them have been beer shops; they're all old Licence Houses, with connections of long standing, thereby affording ample security for the permanency of the trade). The Premises generally are in a superior state of repair.

Particulars and Plans, price 1s. each, may be had of Messr's. Furleys and Mercer, Solicitors, Canterbury; at the "Fountain Hotel;" and of Mr. V. J. Collins, 3, Moorgate Street, London.

Some disturbance took place at the "New Inn," Elham, on that night, and the police were called in. Sergeant Kay seized a man there named Harry Castle, and was struggling with him in the passage to get him out of the door, when the defendants went behind him and knocked his cap off. The sergeant managed to get Castle out of the door, and the defendant then got behind him, and struck him twice with his feet, and ran away. Thomas Castle, a brother of Henry Castle, was charged with resisting the police in the execution of their duty, at the same time, and was fined 6s., and 9s. costs. - Henry Castle was also charged with assaulting at the same time, Mr. James Godden, landlord of the "New Inn." The defendant was fined 2s. 6d. and 10s. costs.
