South Eastern Gazette, Tuesday 27 September 1864.

Stone.

On Saturday evening last, and inquest was held at the "Bull," Horns Cross, before C. J. Carttar, Esq., coroner, on the body of a man named John Macarthey, who died suddenly near the above house on the day before. It appeared that the deceased had been hopping in the neighbourhood, and was noticed by the neighbours to be lying down in a place called Hughes's alley. They called the attention of Sergeant Beeching, K.C.C. to the man, and he immediately went for a conveyance to take into the Union, but when he returned the man was dead. Dr. Secombe, of Greenhithe, made a post-mortem examination on the body, and found that death was caused by internal disease. The jury returned a verdict of death of natural causes.

 

From the Gravesend reporter, North Kent and South Essex Advertiser, Saturday 13 September 1873.

Found, a black retriever dog, with brass collar. If not claimed within seven days will be sold to defray expensive.

Apply to G. Harris, "Bull Inn," Horns Cross, Dartford.
