From the Maidstone Journal, 14 December 1802.
Extract of a letter from Chatham, Dec. 13.
Thursday last in the afternoon, between three and four o'clock, as Mr. Thomas
Howett, who keeps a public house at Gravesend, (as yet
unknown) was coming to Chatham to pay his
brewer, he was attacked by two footpads in coming down Gad's Hill near the "Sir
John Falstaff," who knocked him down and beat him in so unmerciful a manner as
to break two of his ribs, and bruise him in many other places; they robbed him
of £40 , and left him in the road helpless; a returned post chaise going to
Gravesend coming up, the driver saw him lie, and his pocket book opened by him.
The boy got him into the chaise and drove him to his own house, where he
continues dangerously ill.
The next afternoon about the same time, as three men were coming to Chatham; two
of them went into the "Sir John Falstaff" to light their pipes; one who's pipe
was not out, kept walking on; when he came near the same spot where Mr. Howell
was robbed, two men rushed out of the woods and knocked him down, and one got
upon him to rifle his pockets, and took a one-pound note and a few shillings,
pulled hard at his watch but the chain breaking they missed it, for the man's
companions coming out saw the circumstance and ran, the footpads seeing them,
left their prey and fled into the wood.
