A farmer at Bobbing, of the name of Taylor, a few days ago invited a travelling
tinker to accompany him to the "Royal Oak" public house, where after regaling
him with several pints of beer, proceeded to pay for the same by producing a
bag, such as farmers use, containing five or six pounds. As they were leaving
the house together, the farmer detected the tinker picking his pocket, and to
his great astonishment found that his bag with its contents was gone. The tinker
stands committed for trial.
(I do know of a "Royal
Oak" at nearby Chestnut Street but to date have only traced this back to
1847. Also another "Royal
Oak" addressed as in Sittingbourne, but this only back to 1867 so far.)

DOVER, NOVEMBER 30.
Yesterday, Henry Revell Yernolds, esq., Chief Commissioner of the Insolvent
Debtors' Court, held his Assize Circuit here, when the following prisoners were
brought before him to be examined, and received the benefit of the act:-
Benjamin Caswell, late of Dover, victualler, (as yet
unknown, Paul Skelton) was also opposed by Mr. Pain on
behalf of the detaining creditors, on the ground of his having given an undue
preference in that disposal of his furniture and effects to a Mr. Thompsett.
Fortunately for the insolvent, Thomsett was in Court, and agreed to give up the
effects, upon which the Commissioner stated that he was happy the solicitors for
the detaining creditor and the prisoner had come to an arrangement, or he should
have felt it his duty to have reminded the insolvent for a very considerable
time; but as it was he would order him to be discharged, conditionally, upon his
putting his assignees in full possession of the effects he had so unjustly
disposed of, or he would be visited upon the next circuit where they very severe
punishment.
The court broke up about 7 o'clock.
