The constable requested the men to go quietly, but they refused, and when he attempted to put them out Edwards struck him violently in the mouth, cutting his lips.

From the Kentish Chronicle and General Advertiser, 14 December, 1861. Price 1 1/2d.

Catherine Keene was charged with stealing one half-sovereign and seventeen shillings, the property of Edward Burnett.

The prosecutor said:- Yesterday, about half-past twelve o'clock, I went to the “Cock” public house, I saw the prisoner there. I gave her some gin and glass of whisky. We went upstairs together, and I fell asleep. On my waking I misled a half-sovereign and 17s. in silver out of my purse. I had previously given the defendant 2s. The prisoner had left the house. I went into several public-houses looking for her during the evening, and at last found her at the “Three Grennadiers,” in Military Road. I told the landlady there what had occurred, and she sent for a policeman.

Mrs. Moore said:- My husband keeps a public-house called the “Cock.” The prisoner lodges at my house. Yesterday afternoon she came down stairs and wanted her bonnet and shawl in a great hurry, so that I expected there was something wrong. The prosecutor told me afterwards that he had missed some money.

Richard Drew:- I keep the “Three Grenadier” public-house in the Military road. The prisoner came to my house about five o’clock last night, and stayed about half an hour. During that time she spent about eighteen-pence. She came again about seven o'clock and changed a half-sovereign. The prosecutor came to my house, and the prisoner was given into custody.

P.C. Cherison said that when the prisoner was searched, 10s, was found on her.

She was committed for trial.

Elizabeth Sedgwick, 18, and William Scadden, 21, labourers, were charged with having stolen £10, the money of Charles Olive, on the 20th of February, 1864.

The prosecution, a coal merchant, residing in St. Radigund’s-street, said the prisoner Sedgwick had been employed by him. On the 20th February there was about £10 in a box, used by him as a cash box. About 12 o’clock he missed the box.

Isaac Butts saw the two prisoner’s go into Olive’s house on the morning in question, about half past seven o’clock.

P.S. Ellis went with the prosecutor to the “Three Grenadiers” public house. He saw Sedgwick there eating his dinner. Scadden was lying on the floor, drunk, he told them the charge. On Sedgwick he found £1 5s., and on Scadden £1 17s 11 1/2d.

Olive was recalled, and identified two pieces of money found on Sedgwick. He also swore to a pocket, produced, as being one he used as a purse.

The Recorder having summed up, the jury immediately returned a verdict of guilty against both prisoners.

Sedgwick pleaded guilty to having been twice previously convicted.

They were sentenced, Sedgwick to three years’ penal servitude, Scadden six months hard labour.
