LAMBERHURST. Passing Base Coin.
On Friday week two tramps, named Charles Sides and Louisa Wilkins,
were charged before W. C. Morland, Esq., with uttering base coin on
the previous day at Lamberhurst. The male prisoner, it appeared, had
gone into the "Swan Inn" about ten o'clock in the morning, and
calling for a glass of ale paid Mrs. Osborn for it with the spurious
shilling produced, receiving the change in good coin. About an hour
afterwards the female had paid a similar visit to Mrs. Standen’s
beer-shop, where she obtained change for another shilling. On the
quality of these shillings being discovered, constable John Down
went in pursuit of the parties, and apprehended them at Goudhurst,
when he found upon Sides two base crown pieces, seven half-crowns,
and four shillings. Wilkins also was in possession of a bad
half-crown. The prisoners were committed to Lewes gaol for trial at
the next assizes.

Chip Pan Blaze.
Fire engines from Tunbridge, Metfield and Wadhurst dealt with a fire in
the kitchen of the "Swan" public house at Lamberhurst on Thursday
afternoon last week. The alarm was raised by the licensee, Mr. Peter
Powell, after a chip pan overheated. The kitchen was slightly damaged by
smoke. |
