Kentish Gazette, 17 January 1854.

Ashford. County Court. Friday.

(Before Charles Harwood, Esq., Judge).

There were about the usual number of plaints entered for hearing at the court, but most of them were of an unimportant nature. The cases disposed of deeming of a particular notice were the following:-

Renton v. Fowler.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a beer-shop keeper, against the defendant, a builder, to recover the sum of £11, being the balance of £20 placed in the hands of the defendant as a deposit for the purchase of a home, which the defendant was then engaged in building. From the evidence adduced at the last court, when the case was adjourned, it appeared that the plaintiff's father was indebted to the defendant in the sum of £11, and the latter subsequently retained that sum for payment of that debt. The plaintiff objected to such a course being adopted; but in consequence of his being prevented attending to give evidence through illness, the case was adjourned for his attendance.

To-day, however, he was still labouring under severe indisposition, and evidence having been given as to the competency of the plaintiff to advise his solicitor to commence this action, hit Honour gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. Mr. Towne appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Mercer, for the defendant.

 

From the Maidstone and Kentish Journal, 6 Sept, 1869.

Joseph Jess applied for a licence, but brought no recommendation. Superintendent Dewar said applicant had been convicted for stealing four sheaves of beans. The application was refused.
