Unknown
Dover
I am hoping this is Dover, but it was in the Dover Telegraph between
paragraphs about first a theft of a loaf of bread from a Joseph Woodcock,
baker at Margate, but the perpetrators were committed to Dover goal
(misprint on behalf of the Telegraph... Who says dyslexia didn't exist in
1834?) and an account of the East Kent hounds from Rein Den, which says they
ran about a quarter of a mile from Dover pier in dense fog; so it must be
local.

From the Dover Telegraph, 8th February 1834.
William Fagg, Henry Holmes, Stephen Steddy, John Lawrence, and
Richard Beer, all notorious characters, were also lodged in the gaol on Saturday, charged with stealing a watch
from the person of George Daniels, at the "Tally Ho" beer shop, on the
preceding evening. On further examination, Lawrence and Beer, were
discharged; Fagg, Holmes, and Steddy being committed for trial.

From the Dover Telegraph and Cinque Ports General
Advertiser, Saturday 5 April, 1834. Price 7d.
Stephen Steddy, aged 20, Harry Holmes, 22, and William Fagg, 30, all
labourers, were charged with stealing a silver watch, from the person of
George Daniels, at the "Tally-Ho" beer shop, in Dover, on the 30th
January last. The prisoners and two other men were in the house with the
prosecutor, who was intoxicated, when his watch was stolen from him; and
soon afterwards it was pledged by Fagg, who at first had the ticket in
his own name, and then requested it might be changed to that of Finniss.
It also appeared he had made a voluntary confession, on examination by
the magistrates, after being apprised that it would be brought against
him at the trial. Verdict, Holmes and Steddy, Not Guilty; Fagg, Guilty -
Seven years' transportation.

Yesterday week, Joseph Pudney, was convicted by the Mayor and
Magistrates, in the sum of twenty shillings and costs, and John Williams
and David Halliday in the sum of ten shillings each, and costs, for
having forcibly entered the "Tally Ho," retail beer house, before six
o'clock, on the previous Tuesday morning, in a state of intoxication,
and because the landlord, Henry Burrowes, refused to draw them any beer,
assaulted him and threatened to pull the house down about his ears.
