Opened in 1838, this pub changed name to the "Princess
Louise" about 1888. By 1897 it had changed again, this time
to the "Model Tavern." The
numbering has apparently changed during this time.

SATURDAY.
(Before William Brock, Esq., Captain Love, and Peter Martin, Esq.)
There were six prisoners for examination this morning belonging to the
East Kent Militia.
John Johns, was charged by Sergeant Boswell, of the 70th regiment, with
assaulting him and obstructing the Piquet in execution of their duty
The complainant said that on Friday evening, he went up into the
chambers of the "Plasterers' Arms" public-house, Northgate, to see if
any of his men were there. He found one or two and called the piquet up.
A man belonging to his regiment said he would fight for it and pulled
off his belt for the purpose. The prisoner said he would assist the
other man, and he put out the light and pushed him (complainant) on the
stairs. Complainant, as it was dark, ordered his piquet down stairs to
prevent mischief but having got a light again he again went up, and the
prisoner was taken into custody.
Fined 10s. and expenses, or 14 days' imprisonment.

STEALING A CASH BOX.
At the Canterbury Police Court, on Monday, Joseph Frerman, soldier in
the 70th regiment, was brought up, on remand, charged with stealing a
cash-box, containing as was alleged, £1 in silver, the property of James
Burrows, landlord of the "Plasterers Arms" public house, Northgate. When
the ease was called on this morning, Superintendent Davis informed the
bench that Martha Baker, the prosecutor's housekeeper, and one of the
principal witnesses in the case, had left the city. It also appeared
that the cash box was placed in such a position that it could be easily
seen and taken away by any one passing the door of the bar. On the night
of the robbery a number of soldiers besides the prisoner were in the
tap-room and continually passing in and out, as were also several women
of questionable repute. It was also stated that both the landlord and
his housekeeper were the worse for liquor.
After deliberating some time and taking the circumstances into
consideration, the bench decided to dismiss the case.

Due to their being a "Plasterer'
Arms" also in Canterbury, the licensee list may be unfortunately mixed
with reference to George Fowler.
