Kentish Mercury 31 August 1839.
At the Guildhall, Folkestone, last week, Thomas Dunn, beer-shop
keeper, (Three Mackerel) was charged by Ballard, an excise officer of Hythe, with
selling spirituous liquors. From the evidence it appeared that
Ballard went to the defendant's house, dressed in the garb of a
butcher from Ash, in company with Mrs. Kiel, a chimney sweeper's
wife, and asked for something to drink. He said he had attended the
Dover market, but as trade was so very dull, he had been obliged to
sell his meat at £3 less than prime cost. In the course of the
evening Mrs. Kiel feigned very ill, and her companion wished to know
if there was any gin or brandy in the house. Being informed by the
landlady that they had nothing but a little rum, which they had
purchased for private use, he requested a glass of that, which the
landlady gave them. The exciseman stated that he had purchased six
glasses of brandy of the defendant, for which he paid 3d. per glass,
and appealed to his beloved Phillis for corroboration, who stated
that he was drunk when he entered the house and scarcely knew what
he was doing. As the defendant, however, had kept his house open
till a late hour, the magistrates fined him in the mitigated penalty
of £12 10s.
