Margate. Sudden Friendship.
On Thursday last, a commercial traveller stopping at the "White Hart," in
Margate, while spending the evening at a convivial meeting at the
"Fountain Tavern," entered into conversation with a foreign gentleman,
apparently a German. Both parties sitting late, they agree to sleep at
the "Fountain" rather than cause a disturbance at their respective Inns.
About 9 o'clock in the morning, the commercial gentleman awoke after a
most lengthy refreshing slumber, and proceeded to dress himself,
discovered to his dismay that someone had rifled his pockets of their
contents.
On enquiry, the German gentleman was seem to leave the house about 6
o'clock, and it was afterwards discovered that he paid his bill at the
"York Hotel" from the very purse he had purloined from his friend's
pocket. Taking his bag under his arm, he left by the early train, where
all traces of him ceased. The lost to the victim in this transaction is
£46 11s. 3d.

MARGATE. ACIDENT.
As four young men named Pain, Rolfe, and Kingston (2) were driving a
trap belonging to Mr. Wales along the Parade, the horse became
unmanageable. When near the “White Hart” Hotel, one of the wheels fell
off, and the occupants of the vehicle were thrown to the ground with
considerable force. The horse and the remaining portion of the
conveyance then proceeded at a furious speed along King-street and the
Dane, and then, turning back, went some distance up Hawley-street, where
they were stopped. The horse was unhurt, but the trap was greatly
damaged.
