South Eastern Gazette, Tuesday 13 June 1848.

DARTFORD.—Petty Sessions, Wednesday.

(Before the Rev. R. Davies.)

William Martin otherwise William Johnson, otherwise George Turner, was charged with stealing a copper warming-pot, the property of Mr. George Waller, the landlord of the "Bull's Head," Dartford.

The prisoner was likewise charged with stealing a copper stew-pan, a copper saucepan, three pieces of lead pipe, a brass cock, two bells, and a quantity of brass wirework, the properly of Mr, George Evitt, landlord of the "Coach and Horses," in Spittal-street, Dartford.

Richard Lillywhite, constable of Dartford, deposed that at about half-past seven o’clock last night he was informed that a man was offering a copper warming-pot for sale, with the initials "J. W" on it. I went over to the shop of Robert Johnson, a marine-store dealer, where I saw the prisoner, and Thomas Waller, the son of Mr. G. Waller, who stated that was his father's property. Witness took the prisoner into custody, and on making inquiries found that he had been lodging at Mr. Evitt’s, the "Coach and Horses," who had lost several articles. Mr. Evitt identified several other articles left by the prisoner at the shop. At Mr. Weekes's in the High-street, they found a copper stew-pan, which Mr. Evitt said was his property.

Committed for trial at the next Sessions on both charges.

 

 

In 1940 alterations were made to this pub for the sum of £866.
