29 Commercial Quay
26 Commercial Quay
Dover
Open in 1857, but in 1895 it was said to have been empty for some time
and plans for rebuilding were approved that year. The Bench made conditions
though. The "Crusader" had to be surrendered.
No doubt those plans reached fruition but I heard nothing of the opening
if they did. The ever changing numbers on the Quay make searching a
nightmare. At different times this was 26, 27 and 29.

ASSAULT
Josiah Hurst was charged with assaulting Henry Baker.
It appeared that both the men were occasionally employed as
lightermen, and that the complainant had offered to work for a lower
price than the defendant thought reasonable. Hence the assault.
The complainant said that on Monday last, about six o'clock, he was
in the taproom of the "Trinity Pilot" public-house, Commercial Quay,
having "a quiet pint of beer," when the defendant, who was also in the
room, gave a couple of blows on the left side of the face, exclaiming,
"You're one of the men who offered to do the work." There had been no
previous quarrel between himself and the defendant.
The defendant denied that he had had no provocation .The complainant
called him a gray-headed old pensioner, and, puffing a cigar in his face
in an insulting manner, told him he was no man. He therefore gave him a
"back-handed touch" in his face; that was all.
The defendant called two witnesses who corroborated his statement.
The Bench, considering the provocation that had been given, decided
on dismissing the case.
