Kentish Chronicle, 28 April 1860.

PETTY SESSIONS MONDAY.

George Weatherley, a travelling singer, was charged with vagrancy.

Leonard Adams deposed:- I am a constable in this borough. Last evening I was at the "White Hart Inn," in this borough. The prisoner came there begging. He said he was a shoe-maker, and wanted money for lodging, as he was entirely destitute. He was not sober, and in consequence of being refused relief, he became abusive. I persuaded him to go away, but he refused. I then took him into custody, and he was very violent, and lay down in the street, and it took four of us to carry him to the lock-up. I searched him, and found on him 10 1/2d. and a tobacco-box.

Prisoner expressed his sorrow, and begged for mercy.

Committed for seven days' hard labour.
