Theft from a Barge in Whitstable.
Thomas John Pattenden, 44, mariner, was indicted for stealing one
oil-coat and a telescope, value 18s, the property of George Lissenden at
Whitstable, on the 11th of April.
Mr. Barrow prosecuted.
The prosecutor stated that it was a mariner, and on the 10th of April
last he had his barge in Whitstable Harbour. The coat and telescope were
on his barge on the night of the 11th of April, and he missed them on
the following morning the cabin having been broken into.
Edward Rigden said he heard the last witness complaining of his lost,
and he then thought of his having seen the prisoner, a few days before,
early in the morning, coming from the Harbour with an oil-coat and a
telescope on his arm.
Harriet Goatham, wife of Henry Goatham, landlord of the "Jolly Sailor,"
Milton-next-Sittingbourne, said the prisoner and another man came to her
house and offered the telescope for sale, and she gave him 4s. for it.
He said it belonged to him, and he had had it in his use for years.
I.C. Capps went to the ship building yard at Murston and found the
prison of their. He charged him with stealing an oil-skin coat and a
telescope. He went to the prisoners lodging and found an oil-skin coat
in a bag, which he said belonged to him.
The prisoner's statement was put in. It was to the effect that he had
the things given to him by Daniel Warner.
Warner was called and denied ever being in the prisoner's company, and
all the other statements made to him by him respecting his selling the
coat and telescope to him, and he's going with him to the "Jolly
Sailor."
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and having been previously
convicted, he was sentenced to 18 months' hard labour.

Flushing-street was the centre where the fisher folk and bargemen
congregated.
The Jolly Sailor was a fully licensed house tied to Budden & Biggs Ltd,
Rochester. The rent was £20, the annual value £35 and the rateable value
£28. The class of customers were brickfield labourers, a few bargemen and a
good many from the lodging houses in Flushing Street. It was frequently
closed shortly after 10pm.
Messrs Lloyd had closed an entrance to their wharf and that had had an
effect of diverting custom from the house. The house was situated close to
the water which made police supervision difficult. As the back opened to the
wharf it could only be seen from the opposite bank of the creek. Being so
close to the water, the sanitation of the house was bad, the water
frequently entering the cellar at high tide.
Around 30 barges come up the creek on each tide and some of the bargemen
use the house.
Mr W L Grant examined the Jolly Sailor and found the premises were small,
rather crowded and the outlet at the back was rather small. The back of the
house adjoined the wharf on which manure was frequently unloaded. Some of
the rooms were very low. The bar parlour was only 6.5ft high, the bar itself
only 7ft high and the tap room at the back 7.75ft high. It was frequently
flooded and the occupant of the house told him he had the water half way up
his counter. The cellar was frequently flooded. The Jolly Sailor was 68
yards from the "Crown and
Anchor," and 87 yards from the "Prince
of Wales." It was about the same distance from the "Waterman’s
Arms." The structure of the house made police supervision rather
difficult.
