From the Deal, Walmer, and Sandwich Mercury, 11 August, 1900. 1d

HAD HER REVENGE

Florence Henrietta Anderson, a married woman, was charged with breaking one pane of glass, doing damage to the amount of 2s. 6d., the property of Albert Ashby, at the "Crispin Inn," Middle Street, on the 9th inst.

Prisoner pleaded guilty.

Dr. Hardman said he was instructed to prosecute. The prisoner, unfortunately, came to the "Crispin Inn," kept by the prosecutor, after being told in consequence of a previous row that she would not be served there, and made a disturbance, in consequence of which, after refusing to quit, she was ejected, and then, he supposed by way of revenge, she immediately went round to the front bar and put her fist through the window, doing damage to the amount of 2s. 6d. he understood she cut her hand rather badly in doing this. prisoner had been warned in at least two other houses in the town, in consequence of rows, that she would not be served there, and caused a great deal of trouble to various licensed victuallers, and the Association desired that as much as possible the annoyance should be put a stop to.

Prisoner said she was never asked to quit the premises, and did not refuse to do so. She had been served by Mr. Ellender when Mr. Ashby rushed downstairs and threw her out into the street, and knocked her down, cutting her elbow right across, and the magistrates now saw it bandaged. She admitted that the cut on the wrist, which was also bandaged was caused by her breaking the window. She was sorry for that, but her temper overcame her, and she could not see her revenge, and went and broke the window. She was willing to pay for that.

Ordered to pay a fine of 5s., 5s. costs, and 2s. 6d. damage.
