Public Ledger and Daily Advertiser 02 May 1811.

Mr. Luckett, a publican near Ashford, Kent, applied for police aid yesterday, to recover his wife, who he had traced to London; she having eloped with a corporal in the waggon-train on Saturday se'nnight, with £30 in money, and deserted two infants. The complainant had traced his worthless rib to lodgings in Berwick-street, and on enquiring for her, was met by the soldier, who assaulted him, and swore never to part with his "cher amie".

It turned out, however, that the soldier had deserted, and he was taken into custody on that charge, and committed, and after some time, the "lady" consented to return to her family, at the solicitation of her husband.

Name of pub as yet unknown.
