CORONER'S INQUEST
An inquest was held on Tuesday last, at the "Green Man" beer-shop,
Buckland, before G. T. Thompson, Esq. the Borough Coroner, to enquire
into the cause of death of a child belonging to a poor man named Griggs,
a bricklayer.
From the depositions of the witnesses, it appeared that the deceased,
who was about nine years of age, was left at home with an elder sister,
about eleven o'clock on Monday last, while their mother came down to
Dover. The elder sister was engaged in the washhouse, and, as is
supposed, the deceased employed herself in putting some sticks on the
fire when her clothes became ignited. She then ran screaming into the
street, which, with the barking of some dogs, alarmed the neighbours,
who ran and wrapped a carpet round her, and succeeded in extinguishing
the flames ; but not till she had been burned in a most dreadful manner.
A surgeon was immediately sent for, but the fire had taken so great an
effect upon her frame, that she died in the most excruciating pain at
about half-past ten o'clock that evening.
Verdict - "Accidental death."

DASTARDLY ASSAULT
John Revell was charged with assaulting Emma Fagg, a married woman,
at the "Green Man" public house, Buckland, on the day following
Christmas Day. It appeared hat the parties were merry-making at the
public-house in question on the day named, the complainant being in the
company of her husband, when the defendant, in the absence of Mr. Fagg,
caught hold of Mrs. F. in too amorous a manner. She threatened to
scratch his face, if he did it again, but the defendant disregarded this
warning, and ultimately was, as Mrs. F. Herself stated, slightly brushed
across the face with her hand. He thereupon addresses her in foul terms
and struck her in the face, leaving marks upon her eyes which were still
visible. Witnesses were called, and the Magistrates decided that the
assault, which they considered a very dastardly one, was proved.
Defendant was fined £1, including costs, which he paid.

The compulsory purchase order for this street and George
Street was confirmed in November 1966 and the pub closed on 11 September
1967. With a few exceptions, the area was then rebuilt and a car park for
residents now occupies this site.
