Dover

 

I believe this is not to be confused with the "Globe" addressed as 5 Bulwark Street as I believe that one had already been renamed the "Prince of Orange" or perhaps the "Blue Posts" by that time.

 

From the Dover Express and East Kent Intelligencer, 21 May, 1859.

A WOMAN'S QUARREL

Catherine Macfarlane was summoned for an assault upon Sarah Pope, the landlady of the "Globe" public-house, Commercial Quay.

The complainant said - I am the landlady of the "Globe." On Tuesday evening, about half-past ten o'clock, the defendant came into my house and called for a glass of beer. I told her that my beer was "out," which was the case. She then began to abuse me, and struck me across the arm with her hand. She also threatened to "do" for me. The defendant had insulted me on the preceding evening. She was on the step at the time, and I closed the door against her.

Jane Parrot, a lodger at the "Globe," said she witnessed the assault on the complainant by defendant on Tuesday night.

The defendant denies touching the complainant with any intention of assaulting her, and the Bench ultimately dismissed the case as too trivial for their interference.

Another Robbery from the Person.

On Thursday last, William Pettigrew, a private in the 2nd brigade of Royal Artillery, stationed at the "Castle," was charged before the borough magistrates with stealing the sum of £1 14s. 4d., from the person of Thomas Patton, a bombardier of the same corps, on the 2nd inst.

It appeared that Patton had been to the "Globe" public-house, on the Commercial-quay, on the afternoon in question, and while there the prisoner went in and sat down beside him. Patton afterwards fell asleep, while prisoner was in the room, and on waking found that his purse and money had been taken from his pocket. Corporal James Marshall, of the Wiltshire Militia, who was also in the place at the time, had seen Pettigrew put his hand into Patton’s pocket, while the latter was asleep, take out 9s. 6d. and a port-monnaie, and put them in his own pocket, saying that as Patton was a comrade of his he would take care of them for him.

The prisoner was committed for trial.
