From the Dover Express and East Kent Intelligencer, 9 January, 1880. Price 1d. STEALING TURNIPS Sarah Lawrence was charged with stealing seven growing turnips in the parish of Buckland, of the value of 3d. George Brett said: I am a farmer living at Buckland and yesterday between two and three o'clock I was standing at my yard gate and saw the prisoner in a field growing turnips belonging to me. She was going out of the field, and I sent the man after her up the road, and he brought her back to me. When she was brought to me I sent the man into the road, and he returned, bringing a bag containing some turnips. I said I should prosecute her, as I had also caught her there about fourteen days back. She said she had not been in the field. She left the field by the lane where the turnips were found, and close to the spot. The turnips produced are peculiar ones, and are like those in my field. I value the seven at 3d. William Calvert said: I am in Mr. Brett's employ. Yesterday afternoon he called me, and sent me after the prisoner. I found her lying down under the hedge, on the opposite side of the lane from the turnips. I found the bag at about a rod distant from her. I told her Mr. Brett wanted to see her, and she came down to him with me. I then returned up the lane and got the bag. She said the turnips did not belong to her. There was nobody else about the place. I saw her in the field pulling turnips up, but did not see what she did with them. She was about fifty yards in the field when she pulled the turnips up. Alongside the hedge the turnips were cut as they now appear. Police-constable George Bowles proved the prisoner being given into his custody by Mr. Brett. The Bench sentenced her to 14 days' imprisonment with hard labour.

From the Kent and Sussex Courier, 6 February, 1880. STEALING BEER. On Thursday, at the Police Court, before Homersham Cox, Esq., and A. T. Beeching, Esq., James Champion, a drayman, was charged with stealing a quantity of beer, value 6s. 6d., the property of Messrs. Kenward and Court, brewers, of Hadlow, his masters, on the 4th February. Mr. John Court said that the prisoner had been in their employ for about two years as a drawman, but he had worked for them for three or four years. On Wednesday morning the prisoner was employed carrying casks of beer from their brewery at Hadlow to their stores at Tunbridge Wells. Witness was driving along the road to catch the 10.17 a.m. train, when he suddenly came on the prisoner through the fog. The prisoner was kneeling on the waggon, and the beer was running from a spile hole in the hogshead. He jumped out of the dog cart, accused the prisoner of stealing the beer, and told him to put the spile into the cask. On getting into the waggon he saw that the beer was running into a stone bottle, which was standing in the horse pail. Witness told him he was a very foolish man, and discharged him at once. The prisoner afterwards asked him to forgive him, but for the protection of their customers he felt that he must make an example of him. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and consented to have the case settled now. Mr. Court, in reply to the Bench, said that the prisoner had never been caught before. He was a very civil, sober man. They, however, had had their casks of beer that they sent to Tunbridge Wells tampered with. The prisoner’s wages were £1 per week, then he had 3d. for every dozen empty barrels he brought back, so much journey money, and with what he was allowed and what customers gave him he had a gallon of beer per day. The Bench said that it was a very bad case, and sentenced the prisoner to two months’ hard labour.
