PETTY SESSIONS
Tuesday, September 9th 1858
Charles Williams applied for the transfer of the licence of the "Sun"
public house from R. H. Collins. Granted.
However, with there being another "Sun"
in Deal at the same time, and Pigots
directories already naming the licensee for both pubs in 1858 as not
being the names given above, I am unsure which "Sun" this paper is
referring to. Regarding Pigots directory not relating to the names given
by this paper, often their information was a year out of date.

PETTY SESSIONS. THURSDAY
(Before the Major, and W. Nethersole, Esq.)
John Bowbyes was charged with assault. William Goldfinch said:— On Sunday evening, 24th July, about half-past
eleven, I was in the “Sun” public house, in Deal, when I heard a young
girl cry out “Murder!” To the best of my recollection, I went to her
assistance (she was by the bar); and on going to her I was knocked down
by the prisoner, John Bowbyes, and kicked by him until I became
insensible from the effects of his violence. I was under the influence
of beer, but not intoxicated. I did not know Bowbyes at the time, but
the next morning he was pointed out to me by John Walker. The marks now
on my face are the effects of the blows I then received; one of my teeth
was also broken. Cross examined by prisoner:— My coat was not off at the time; I did not
challenge you to fight. Thomas Redsull said:— I am a gardener, and live in Peter Street, Deal.
About twenty minutes to twelve last Sunday night, I was at the “Sun”
public-house. The prisoner, John Bowbyes come to the house from the
street, and immediately commenced beating a young woman who was standing
near the bar, which caused her to cry out “Murder!” Goldfinch then went
to her
assistance, and in doing was about to take Bowbyes away, when a scuffle
ensued between them; Rowbyes kicked Goldfinch about a good deal, and
when down on the floor, kicked him in the face and on the nose. I then
went for a policeman, and saw no more of it. John Walker said:—On Sunday night, about twenty minutes to twelve, I was
in the “Sun” public house, sitting near the bar, and saw Bowbyes kick
Goldfinch. I said, “You will kick his brains out.” I went to assist
him, when Bowbyes took an oath, and said he would serve me the same; he
then struck me about the head, and knocked me down; and whilst I was
down he kicked me in the fact with his shoes on, and gave me two black
eyes. The police shortly after arrived and I gave him into custody. In his defence, prisoner said:— The row commenced by a young woman
insulting me on that evening. I was irritable, having been drinking. I
hit her; and Goldfinch came up to me and said, “Oh. I'll fight you." I
had all my clothes off except my flannel, and he challenged me to fight.
After we had two rounds he said, “I have had enough of it," but I
afterward gave him a little bit more. Walker hit me, but I don't know
whether I did not hit him first. For the assault on Goldfinch, the prisoner was fined £2 and 13s. costs,
and for the assault on Walker the same; or two months' imprisonment in
Sandwich gaol. |
