COUNTY COURT.
The monthly sitting of this court was held in the Guildhall on Friday,
before W. C. Scott, Esq., Judge. About thirty original plaints, and ten
judgment summonses, and one bankruptcy case were heard.
Gradidge v. Amos.
This was a claim of £16 for one year's rent of the beerhouse known as
the “Brickmakers Arms,” in Conduit Row, Faversham. Mr. W. Flint, of the firm of Sankey, Son, and Flint. Canterbury,
appeared for the plaintiff, and stated that the property originally
belonged to Mr. George Wall, Canterbury, who mortgaged it to the
plaintiff, Mrs. Gradidge, on the 10th September, 1863. The defendant,
William Amos, had since become the tenant of the house, but during the
last twelve months had not paid any rent. Hence the present claim. There
was no written agreement as to rent, but it was understood that he was
to pay £16 per annum. The property had been sold under the mortgage
deed. Defendant said he hired the house of Mr. Wall (the mortgagor) and he
supposed he was the person to whom he had to pay his rent. Mr. Flint said that notice had been given the defendant to pay his rent
to the plaintiff as the mortgagor. His Honour said it was clear the defendant did not owe the rent to Mr.
Wall, but to Mrs. Gradidge, and he should make an order for the payment
of the claim. Mr. Flint applied for costs, which his Honour allowed. |
