CANTERBURY POLICE COURT.—Thursday.

This was an adjourned day for granting licences, there being on the bench the Mayor, Aldermen Cooper, Brent, and Plummer, and Mr. Sprakeling.

Elizabeth Forbes, of the "Odd Fellows' Arms," St. Peter’s-place, was called upon to answer an information alleging her to have drawn beer on Sunday morning, during the hours of Divine Service. She admitted the offence, so far as the beer having been drawn, but stated that it was in requital for the services of a man who had been gathering her grapes. Taking this as a little in extenuation, the bench fined her in the mitigated penalty of 1s. and costs, amounting to 10s. altogether, which was immediately paid.

CANTERBURY POLICE COURT. Monday.

Three beer sellers, Walter Charles, St. Margaret's-street; ("Divan") Mrs, Forbes, of the "Odd Fellow's Arms," St. Peter's-place; and John Murphy, of the "Carpenters Arms," Black Griffin-lane, were summoned for infringement of the law, the first for having his house open beyond the prescribed hour at night, and the other two for having company in their house on the Sunday morning. The first mentioned was fined £1, and 10s. costs; and what added to the gravity of his offence was, though it appeared no part of the charge, that some of the magistrates, whose duty it is to preserve and see to the observance of the law, were breakers of it. Murphy was fined 10s. and costs, and Mrs. Forbes' case dismissed as not being complete, the company having only just entered her house, and not had time to obtain liquor; beside which, the plausible excuse was devised that they had merely come in to warm themselves.

Kentish Gazette, 21 September 1852.

DREADFULLY SUDDEN DEATH OF A SOLDIER.

Yesterday, shortly after noon, Mr. Coroner Delasaux opened an inquest at the "Odd Fellows' Arms," at Peter's Place on the body of Samuel Riley, a private in the 13th Hussars. It appeared from the evidence that on Saturday evening the deceased went to St. Stephen's and from thence walked, with a young woman named Julia Medhurst, into Canterbury, when in the Water Lane, near Westgate, and while talking cheerfully he fell down, and shortly afterwards died. Mr. Holttum was called in, but it was too late to render any service. Subsequently the same gentleman made an examination of the body and found a large clot of blood near the heart, indicating a rupture when he said accounted for death, and was a natural cause.

The jury returned a verdict accordingly.
