CORONER'S INQUEST
A most distressing accident happened, on Wednesday, to a little boy
about 11 years of age, the son of Geo. Hawkes, drayman to Mr. R. S.
Cramp, brewer, of Ramsgate, who had been sent to Sandwich with a load of
beer. On returning, the boy had obtained permission of his father to
carry the whip and walk along with the horses. In attempting to jump on
the rods of the wagon (as he had seen his father do) he slipped off, and
the wheels passing over his knees crushed them dreadfully; and, shocking
to relate, he bled so profusely as to cause his death in a few hours. He
was taken to the "New Inn," and had surgical assistance immediately, but
without avail. An inquest was held the following day at the above Inn,
before R. J. Emmerson, Esq., coroner for the borough, when the evidence
of the above facts was adduced, and a verdict of Accidental Death was
recorded.

SELLING DRINK DURING PROHIBITED HOURS
Henry East, landlord of the "New Inn" was charged with keeping his
house open during Divine Service on the 17th inst.
E. Buss, Chief Constable, said he visited defendant's house about
eleven o'clock on the 17th inst., and found Bowes Grey, a porter at the
Railway Station, drinking beer. No other person was in the house. Saw
defendant's wife, who was coming down stairs, and told her he should
report the case. She said that during the time she was upstairs with her
husband, who was ill, her little girl drew the beer, and on asking the
child, she confirmed it.
The defence was that the child drew the beer in the absence of the
mother.
The Justices considered the case proved, but under the circumstances
only fined defendant 1s. and 12s. costs.

Around 1887-88 licensee and fly proprietor, John Dilnot Daniels was
declared bankrupt. By 1911 a J D Daniels has been shown as running the "Compasses
Inn" in Crundale. Further information tells me to moved to the
"Stour" and perhaps the J D
Daniels at the "Compasses
Inn" in a different person.

Dover Express 11th July 1941.
BLAZE AT SANDWICH.
Sandwich Fire Brigade had a busy afternoon and evening on Sunday when
fire destroyed the upper portion of Nos. 16 (used as a Salvation Army
Canteen) and 18 (the “New” Inn), Delf Street, Sandwich. The ground floor
rooms of the premises, with brick walls, were not greatly affected, but
the upper rooms, the walls of which were mostly of the lath-and-plaster
and matchboarding type, enabled the flames to travel fast, and it was
about two and a half hours before they were extinguished. The roof of
the Assembly Hall in Harnet Street became involved but the firemen
succeeded in getting the flames under control.
|
I also have listed an "Old and
New Inn" at 18 Delf Street. This may be a different pub, but the number
could be a misprint or the street numbers could have changed and the two
pubs are one and the same. Further research or information should tell in
time.
