SANDGATE. Sudden Death.
On Thursday last an inquest was held at the "Marine Hotel," on the
body of Peter Ware, who died suddenly on Tuesday last. It appeared
that the deceased had walked up the Campground to the race course,
and had no sooner arrived than he complained to a neighbour that was
with him, that he felt unwell; he was immediately placed on the
ground, and medical assistance procured, but in less that a quarter
of an hour he ceased to breathe. He has lately had one or two
attacks of apoplexy, and there is no doubt that the exertion in
ascending the hill was too much for him. Deceased, who was much
respected in the neighbourhood, was in his 68th year, and was in the
engagement where Nelson fell.
Verdict, "Natural death."

Self-Accusation by a Soldier.
At the Marlborough police-court on Thursday, Mr. Coleman,
superintendent of police for Sandgate, a division of the Kent
constabulary, appeared at the court with a warrant for the delivery
of the two soldiers, John Williams, of the 98th Foot, and Jas.
Gillon, 72nd Highlanders, who underwent an examination on Monday
before Mr. Hendon, charged principally on the confession of Gillon
with the committal of a series of serious offences, two being
burglaries at hotels in this county. The confession stated that they
had undergone an examination before the Kent magistrates, but were
ultimately discharged for want of evidence. Mr. Beadon had remanded
them for a week.
Mr. Superintendent Coleman now stated here had been a burglary
effected at the "Marine Hotel" about the time alluded to; upon which
the prisoners had been before the magistrates, but were discharged
for want of sufficient proof. He added that the landlady of the
hotel, a widow, being rather timid and not wishing it to be known
that a robbery had taken place there, had not put forward the degree
of corroboratory proof necessary to support the charge. He had now,
upon his warrant, to request the worship to deliver up the prisoners
into his custody upon the charges alleged.
Mr. Beadon directed that they should be given into the
superintendent’s custody.

Robbery.
In the Kentish Gazette of last week, under the head of "Sandgate"
we gave an account of the self-accusation of a soldier, who
surrendered himself to the police in London, stating that he and a
comrade who was with him bad committed a burglary at Sandgate.
Accordingly Superintendent Coleman proceeded to London and brought
them to Hythe; and yesterday week the two men, James Gillon, a
private in the 72nd regiment, and John Williams, of the 98th, were
charged before Thos. Denne, Esq., with stealing four silver salt
spoons, and other articles, from the "Marine Hotel," Sandgate, on
the 3rd August, by forcibly entering a window at the back of the
house. The prisoners were apprehended at Dover, and discharged for
want of evidence. After their discharge they went to Folkestone,
where, according to their own statement, they committed several
robberies, and with the proceeds went to London by the train, when
eventually they gave themselves up to the police.
Committed to St. Augustine’s for trial.

EAST KENT QUARTER SESSIONS.
These sessions were held at the St. Augustine’s Court House on
Tuesday last, before J. B. Wildman, Esq., Chairman.
James Gillon and John Williams, two soldiers, one belonging to the
98th Regiment of Foot, and the other to the 72nd Highlanders, were
charged with stealing four silver salt spoons, one plated egg stand,
and one plated egg cup, value £2, the property of Ann Podevin, at
Sandgate, on the 3rd of August, 1857.
The prisoner Gillon pleaded Guilty.
Mr. Burrow, who appeared for the prosecution, called Mrs. Podevin,
of the "Marine Hotel," Sandgate. The witness deposed that on the 3rd
of August she had all the above-mentioned property on her premise's,
but on the 4th August and subsequently she missed them. The articles
produced were her property.
George Geddes, police-sergeant at Dover, said that he knew the
prisoners, and apprehended them on the 4th of August in Dover, he
found the articles stolen on the prisoners’ persons. They were taken
before the magistrates, and after having been twice remanded were
discharged on the 14th August, for want of evidence to convict.
Thomas Irons, a constable at Dover, had charge of the prisoners. In
the water-closet of Gillon’s cell he found the four spoons produced
on the 12th August.
The Chairman remarked that the witness ought to have thoroughly
searched the prisoner when he entered the station-house.
Inspector Park, Inspector of Police in London, at Vine-street
station, deposed that on the 23rd August Gillon came and made a
statement to him, in consequence of which witness went in search of
the other prisoner Williams, who was then going under the name of
Power. He apprehended Williams, and when at the station he read to
him the confession made by Gillon. The witness read this confession
to the Court, and was also going to read the reply made by the
prisoner Williams, but was stopped by the Bench, who considered that
such could not be received. Ultimately, however, the witness was
allowed to read the document. The prisoner’s reply went to disprove
that he was concerned in the robbery, although he afterwards helped
to dispose of the proceeds of the robbery. The particulars of
Gillon’s confession have already appeared in the Kentish Gazette.
The Chairman having summed up, the jury found both prisoners Guilty
of receiving the property knowing it to be stolen, and they were
each sentenced "to twelve" months’ hard labour.
