From the Maidstone Gazette and West Kent Courier, 26 January 1830.
A Coroners inquest was held onto Thursday se'nnight before W. R. A.
Pettman Esq., Mayor and Coroner of Sandwich, on the body of William
Foot, the landlord of the "Rose and Crown," High Street, Ramsgate, who
on that day put a period to his existence by discharging the following
piece to his head, which was literally shattered to atoms.
It appeared by the evidence, the deceased was missing the great part of
the day, and on search being made he was found in the woodhouse at the
back part of the premises, the door of which was locked.
Previous to committing the rash act, he most deliberately took off his
hat and boots, the former was found suspended and the latter lying near
the unfortunate man.
He had shortly before being served with a writ for the very trifling sum
of £10, and there is every reason to believe he use the same as wadding,
when he committed the fatal deed.
Verdict. Insanity.

From the Kentish Gazette 29 May 1838.
On Tuesday an inquest was held at the "Rose and Crown Inn,"
Ramsgate, before R. J. Emmerson, Esq., Coroner, on the body of Sarah
Atwell, who was picked up in Union-row, quite dead the day previous.
From the evidence adduced it appeared the deceased (who was about 18
years of age) had been about five weeks previously confined, and had
been on that day assisting her stepmother in removing the furniture
to fresh lodging, the fatigue of which caused her to rupture a
blood-vessel near the heart, as she was returning to her late
lodging, when she dropped down and instantly expired. A verdict was
returned that she died by the visitation of God.

discharged, was again brought up charged with creating a public
annoyance. Police-constable Newman stated that he removed her at the
request of Mrs. Fowler, from the "Rose and Crown Inn," and that she
remained in the street halloing and shouting so that at length he
was obliged to take her into custody, but her resistance was so
great that he ultimately had to drive her to the station in a
wheelbarrow.

Ramsgate. Police Court—Monday.
(Before the Hon. J. S. Laws, W. H. S. George, Shum Story, Esqrs., and
the Rev. W. G. Sicklemore.)
A case came before the Court at the instance of Mrs. Catherine Miller,
widow of Mr. George Miller, who died at the Brazils of
cholera, and deceased being a member of the Ramsgate Friendly Union
Burial Society, held at the "Rose and Crown," High-street, Ramsgate. a claim of £10 was made by the widow. Mr. Judge
appeared for plaintiff. The secretary and the stewards
appeared on summons to show cause why the £10 was not paid. They
contended that deceased, by the club rules, was not a
free member, in consequence of his not having paid the subscription for
six calendar months previous to his death, and that
they had tendered to plaintiff £3 being what she was entitled to, as
well as 9s. 6d., being the money that had been paid for
deceased since his death. He dying abroad it was not known to either
party, that he was dead, until they were so informed
by the owners of the vessel in which he left England. The widow refused
to take the money tendered, and sued for the £10.
A ticket was produced, signed by the secretary, Mr. Jarman, and also the
names of two of the stewards, stating that deceased
was a fine member, and that he was entitled to all the benefits of the
society. This being the case, the magistrates retired
from the Court, and in a few minutes returned, and stated to the
stewards they were bound to abide by the condition
expressed in the ticket produced, it being the act of their own
secretary, and they directed the £10 to be paid to the widow,
with 20s. 6d. costs.
Mr. Jarman, the secretary, observed he had given the ticket one month
before he should have done, through a mistake. The
case occupied the Court an hour and a half.
