DOVER POLICE REPORT

James Etall was fined in the mitigated penalty of £12:10 for selling tobacco without a license.

I'm not sure whether he ran a pub, but there was a George Etall running the "Young prince of Wales" in the same year.

CAUTION TO TRADESMEN

A few weeks back we published a caution to tradesmen, innkeepers, &c., against a person travelling about for the purpose of uttering forged cheques, and who had succeeded in defrauding (it has since been ascertained) several tradesmen and innkeepers in this county. There is some satisfaction in knowing that a person, who is suspected of being the same individual, is now likely to meet with the punishment he richly deserves. It appears by the publicised report, that on Saturday, the 2nd or 9th inst. He was at the "Castle Inn," Coventry, where he obtained £27 15s. in payment for a cheque that has since been ascertained to be forged. It appears that the innkeeper, after having cashed the cheque, had some reason to suspect all was not right, and got the inspector of police to take the party, as he was about leaving by coach. Upon the examination before the Magistrates, such evidence was produced as led to his committal to take his trial at Warwick assizes.

CAUTION TO LODGING-HOUSE KEEPERS

A short time since, a female, respectably attired, engaged apartments at a Mrs. Prescott's in Trevanion Street, for a few weeks - having arrived at Dover, as she stated, for the "change of air." She resided there very comfortably some days; but, at last, found it very troublesome, being alone, to board herself, and requested to be admitted to the table of the family. This was granted with the understanding that she was "to pay" for what she had. Having conveniently domesticated herself several days, she was " found wanting" one afternoon; and surprise at her non-appearance at least excited suspicion, when a young man, a lodger in the house, examined his box, and found himself minus of four sovereigns, which the same morning were safely deposited there. This lady-lodger had also taken a suit of clothes from the box; but, it is supposed, did not find them so suited for travelling as the gold. Information of the robbery was given to the police, when they traced hr to the railway station, which place she had departed, per train, about an hour before. We also hear that the landlady, besides losing the payment for board and lodging, was also eased of about 30 shillings. This aught to prove as a caution to Lodging-House Keepers, as this is not the first time a similar trick has been played off upon them in Dover. The facility of railway travelling is now such as to afford these "birds of prey" every opportunity to "take wing," and fly to distant shores, where they subsist upon their ill-gotten gain.
