Maidstone Gazette 11 January 1848
The much talked of new street from the High Street to the Mill Lane
has at last been commenced by pulling down the old Folkestone
tavern, and clearing the garden grounds adjacent. We regret to hear
that much opposition has been manifested, but the work will
nevertheless be proceeded with as fast as the weather will permit,
so that there will be no necessity for the ultimatum of our Boulogne
contemporary, viz., “a lighted torch and a south-wester”.
Petty Sessions, Wednesday; Before Charles Golder, Mayor, Wm. Major
and John Bateman Esqs.
Charles Stuart was brought up in custody of Matthew Pearson, charged
by Mr. Thomas Susans, of the firm of Gosling and Susans, drapers and
clothiers, with robbing them of a quantity of goods.
Thomas Susans deposed that from information he received from Mr.
Smith, of the York Hotel, he was induced to call there and inspect
the contents of two parcels, said to be left by the prisoner. He
found the contents to be their property (having his own private mark
thereon.) The parcels contained three waistcoats, four pairs of
trousers, silk handkerchiefs, cap and oil-cloth cover, and two gross
of butons; and were of the value of three guineas. The prisoner had
been in their employ about three months.
Thomas Smith, landlord of the York Hotel, deposed that on the
evening of the 12th December the prisoner came to the bar of his
house, called for a glass of ale, and requested to be allowed
permission to leave two parcels for a short time; he did not call
again till the 25th December, when he stated that he had just
arrived from Maidstone, for the express purpose of taking the
parcels away. During the time they were in witness's possession the seals were broken by his children, which enabled
him to observe the contents and the shop mark upon them. This
aroused his suspicion, and he made up his mind to detain them, and
having made an excuse to the prisoner that they had been sent away
by mistake, he went to the shop of Messrs. Gosling and Susans,
having heard that the prisoner was a shopman. He there saw the
prisoner. On the 3rd the prisoner came again; he questioned him as
to the contents of the parcels, when he said they were smuggled
goods. This not satisfying him, he refused to deliver them up, but
allowed the prisoner to depart. Upon his calling a third time he
called him into a room and told him his suspicions, when he
acknowledged that he had stolen them from his employers, and begged
permission to take them back and replace them in the shop, which
witness did not consent to, but gave information to Mr. Susans,
which led to the prisoner's apprehension.
Matthew Pearson, police constable, deposed that he took the prisoner
into custody, and received twp parcels from Mr. Smith, at the York
Hotel, which he now produced.
The prisoner (who is a very young man and stated to be respectably
connected) made no defence, and was committed to take his trial at
the next Quarter Sessions for the Borough.
|
Canterbury Journal 13 January 1849.
The Borough Quarter Sessions were held on Monday before J.J.
Lonsdale Esq., Recorder.
James Griggs was indicted for stealing a basket of game from the
railway station.
From the evidence of William Nairns, the prosecutor, it appeared
that a basket of game was brought down to Folkestone by him, and was
placed in the care of the omnibus driver, Laker. On arriving at the
"York Hotel" the parcel was missed. The prisoner was close by with a
fly when the basket was lost, and, with the contents, was
subsequently found in his bedroom.
The prisoner, in his defence, stated that he found the basket in his
omnibus, and that it did not contain anything; it was lying in his
stable for three weeks, when he took it home.
Six months' hard labour.

Dover Chronicle 19 May 1855.
Canterbury County Court, Wednesday, May 16th, before Charles Harwood
Esq., judge.
Bird v Smith.
An action to recover £27 10s. for which a jury was empanelled. Mr.
T.T. Delasaux appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Towne for the
defendant.
The facts, as explained by the plaintiff, were as follows: In June,
1849, the defendant kept the York Hotel, at Folkestone, and
plaintiff was employed as auctioneer to sell the household furniture
and effects of that establishment under a bill of sale given to Mr.
G. Ash, brewer, of Canterbury, by Mrs. Hosking, mother-in-law of
defendant, who had previously kept the hotel, and placed Smith
therein as her representative. When the sale took place Mr. Terson,
of Dover, (now deceased) applied to Mr. Bird, in company with Smith,
to be accepted as the bidder for the fixtures, not for himself, but
for Smith, which plaintiff agreed to, and various lots to the amount
of £26 13s., were so purchased by Mr. Terson, and a table, at the
price of 17s., was knocked down to Smith, making together the total
of £27 10s. now sought to be recovered. No part of this purchase
money was paid at the time of sale, nor since, but the defendant had
many times promised to settle it, and he, plaintiff, had avoided
proceedings until now, the debt being close on the time that
limitation of statute might be pleaded. Plaintiff paid to Mr. Ash
the amount for which the goods were sold, expecting to be repaid by
Smith, who was left in possession of them.
Mr. Towne (in his endeavoure to
shake the above statement by eliciting that plaintiff had in the
year 1853 demanded the amount of the fixtures from the executors of
Mr. Terson, which Mr. Bird admitted he had instructed his solicitor
to do, in consequence of being unable to obtain payment of Mr.
Smith, but always had held the latter liable, and who had always
admitted his liability up to February last, at which period the
defendant asserted that the goods were bought in for Mrs. Hoskins
and not for himself, and he then offered to have the subject
arbitrated upon. This latter proposition Smith had made to Mr.
Leach, whom plaintiff had instructed to apply to him for settlement.
Mr. Leach was examined, but did not throw much light on the subject.
He had known Mr. Bird apply several times to defendant for
settlement, but at no time was it, to his recollection, stated what
that settlement was to be.
Mr. Robinson (appraiser) stated that he was engaged by Mr. Smith, in
July, 1849, to value the fixtures, and jointly with Mr. Major he did
so; they were purchased by Mr. Watts for £32, to whom the transfer
was made, but not until Mrs. Hoskins had signed the agreement, which
was deemed necessary from an understanding that she had a claim on
them.
This closed the case for the plaintiff, when Mr. Towne at
considerable length addressed the jury. He called the defendant, who
stated that he carried on the business of the hotel for his
mother-in-law, as her agent, at the time of the sale of the effects.
Mr. Ash jun. said his father would give up the claim on the
fixtures, rather than chance a law suit about them. They were then
divided from the furniture, and sold separately, under arrangements
made by Mr. Terson, on behalf of Mrs. Hopkins. The Pembroke tabe was
also bought by Mr. Terson, which he (Mr. Terson) removed from the
premises directly after the sale. No arrangement was ever made by
him with Mr. Bird for payment for the fixtures, and until February
last he had no idea that Mr. Bird had considered he had any claim on
him for them. He always considered that the pecuniary matters spoken
of by Mr. Bird alluded to the balance due to Mr. Ash from his mother
(Mrs. Hoskins), which he had said he (defendant) would endeavour to
get settled, and believed the sum due to Mr. Ash exceeded £100,
including the £27 10s. now claimed. Defendant received the money for
the fixtures sold in July, and passed the amount to Mrs. Hoskins.
Mr. Delasaux then replied, and the Judge went through the chief
points of the evidence, observing that Mr. Bird had certainly done
his business in a very loose manner in parting with his money to Mr.
Ash before he had obtained payment for the things thus sold, and
more especially so when it was shown that the ownership of them was
of doubtful issue, and if, as it had been shown in the evidence,
that Mrs. Hosking had power to convert those fixtures into money
within a month of Mr. Ash's execution on them, it appeared as though
Mr. Ash had been frightened out of them. Mr. Bird ought not to be a
loser of the money, and should their verdict be against him, ne must
get the amount back of Mr. Ash. With respect to the item of 17s. for
the table, it did appear as if it was purchased at the auction by
Smith, the clerk's book at the auction having his name inserted
thereto, while the other articles were shown to be sold to Mr.
Terson.
The jury retired for a short time, and returned a verdict in favour
of the defendant, both as regarded the fixtures and the purchase of
the table.

Southeastern Gazette 22 May 1855.
Canterbury County Court, Wednesday, May 16th, before Charles Harwood
Esq., judge.
Bird v Smith, a Jury case.
The plaintiff is an auctioneer residing in the city, and the
defendant is the keeper of an eating house just outside the city
gates, in the parish of Westgate. The present action was brought to
recover the sum of £27 10s., the price of certain fixtures and
furniture alleged to have been sold to the defendant on the 5th
June, 1849. Mr. Delasaux appeared on behalf of the plaintiff, and
Mr. Towne for the defendant.
From the opening statement of Mr. Delasaux, it appeared that in the
month of May, 1849, a Mrs. Hawkins, mother-in-law of the plaintiff
(sic) kept the York Hotel at Folkestone, and being desirous of
helping the defendant, she borrowed £200 of Mr. George Ash, giving
him a bill of sale on the goods at the hotel as security. Smith went
into the hotel, but it did not answer, and subsequently Ash put his
bill of sale in force, but they found that a great portion of the
goods had been removed, to the amount of £180. Previously to the
sale the plaintiff saw Mr. Terson, an auctioneer, and the present
defendant, when it was arranged that Terson should purchase certain
fixtures for Smith, which he did to the amount of £27 10s., less
17s., the price of a table sold to the defendant himself. That was
the sum now sought to be recovered, and for which repeated
applications had been made for payment, but without effect. The sale
took place in the month of June, 1849, and in the following month
(July) the very same articles were valued to Mr. Watts by a Mr.
Robinson and another, for £33 12s., and that sum was paid to the
defendant, who gave a receipt in his own name for the amount.
Various letter were put in and read, and Mr. Delasaux remarked that
after waiting four years, in June, 1853, he (on behalf of the
plaintiff) wrote to the executors of the late Mr. Terson about the
account and, as he anticipated, received a reply to the effect that
they had no knowledge whatever of the transaction.
Plaintiff deposed that in the month of June, 1849, he was employed
by Mr. Ash to sell the furniture at the York Hotel, at Folkestone.
Previous to the sale he saw the defendant and Mr. Terson, when the
latter told him that he was going to purchase for Smith; the
defendant also told him what Terson was going to do. Terson did
purchase the fixtures and Smith bought a table. (The auction book
was subsequently produced, which confirmed the plaintiff's
statement). He had not been paid one farthing, but he had paid Ash
the money for the fixtures as well as the other furniture sold. Had
applied to the defendant for payment more than 100 times, and he had
promised to do so more than 50, but had never kept his word.
Defendant had also promised to obtain an acceptance for him from a
Mrs. Avery, which plaintiff had agreed to take. Defendant had never
denied his liability to pay the money. After waiting four years,
plaintiff authorised Mr. Delasaux to apply to the executors of Mr.
Terson for payment, but they denied their liability. The defendant
distinctly told plaintiff that he would pay him, and so did Terson,
and Ash's account also.
Cross-examined by Mr. Towne – Believed the fixtures belonged to Mrs.
Hawkins, but the defendant lived at the York Hotel at the time. Did
not know whose name was on the hotel door, or that Mrs. Hawkins was
the landlady. Received a notice before the sale that the fixtures
belonged to Mr. Brockman, and the defendant gave his man notice that
he would have all the things removed. Mr. Delasaux and Mr. Geo. Ash
were at the sale. Was never told, either by Mr. Ash or Mr Delasaux,
not to continue the sale of the fixtures. Did not remember telling
Mr. Delasaux to send the bill produced. Never heard from the
defendant that he was acting as agent to Mrs. Hawkins. Defendant
never expressed surprise at plaintiff's making the claim for payment
on him, nor did he ever write to him to that effect. Never heard him
deny his liability until very lately. A short time since defendant
proposed to refer the matter to arbitration. At the time plaintiff
authorised Mr. Delasaux to apply to the executors of Mr. Terson for
payment, he considered that the money was due from the defendant.
Robert Leach deposed that he was clerk to Mr. Bird, at the sale in
question. He called upon the defendant with the plaintiff, but never
heard the latter make application for payment of the account.
John Robinson said he was employed by the defendant to appraise the
fixtures at the York Hotel after the sale of Mr. Bird. Did so with
Mr. Major. After the appraisement was made they had to go to the
Half Way House to obtain the signature of Mrs. Hawkins. He paid the
amount of the appraisement, £33 12s., to the defendant.
Cross-examined by Mr. Towne – Lived directly opposite the York
Hotel, but could not say who was the landlady.
Mr. Towne then addressed the jury at some length on behalf of the
defendant, remarked that it was one of the oddest cases ever brought
before the jury Having animadverted on the conduct of the plaintiff,
Mr. Towne proceeded to state his case, which was that the defendant
merely acted as the agent of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Hawkins,
throughout the whole transaction, and was therefore not liable for
the present claim.
The defendant deposed that he was the agent of his mother-in-law,
who was the tenant of the York Hotel, and the house was in her name.
Before the sale there was a consultation between Mr. Delasaux, Mr.
Ash, and witness, respecting the fixtures, which were claimed by a
prior mortgage. Mr. Ash, at its conclusion, told witness that his
father would give up his claim to the fixtures rather than have any
trouble about them. Subsequently witness told the plaintiff to sell
the fixtures for Mrs. Hawkins, which he did, Terson buying them in.
He denied ever buying the table. Never had any demand for payment of
the fixtures until February last, when witness wrote to plaintiff
and expressed his surprise at the demand. Witness engaged Robinson
to value the fixtures as agent to his mother-in-law. Never acted in
any other way than as agent to his mother-in-law.
Cross-examined by Mr. Delasaux – Plaintiff had called upon him for
settlement of Mr. Ash's account, but never for payment of the
fixtures.
Mrs Smith corroborated the defendant's statement, and in addition
said the money received by him for the fixtures was given to her,
and she handed it to her mother.
The jury returned a verdict for the defendant on both points.
Petty Sessions, Monday; Before W. Major, John Kingsnorth, James
Kelcey and G. Kennicott Esqs.
Myssen Peters was committed for trial to the next quarter sessions
for stealing a cloak from the harbour railway station, the property
of Alexander Oswald Esq. The butler, James Montgomery, identified
the property as his master's.
