Kentish Gazette, 5 June 1849.

By reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that the extensive brewery and numerous estates belonging to Messrs. Flint, of Canterbury, will be submitted to public competition the latter end of this month. The concern includes a large extent of freehold property (comprising several residences) in various parts of Canterbury, and the adjacent towns. We are induced to call the attention of our readers to this important sale, as it rarely happens that a property of so extensive and varied a description is brought to auction in this locality, or presenting as favourable an opportunity for investment.

KENT SUMMER ASSIZES.

The business of these assizes commenced on Tuesday last.

Jeremiah Searles was indicted far stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, belonging to John Jenner, jun., at Chatham.

The Hon. Mr. Denman appeared for the prosecution.

Paul Skelton.) taking with him a bundle, which contained the property named in the indictment. He put it on the settle, and went out of the house for about ten minutes; when he returned he missed the bundle. He then went for a constable, and at about seven o'clock in the evening the constable brought the bundle back, with the prisoner in custody. There were other persons in the tap-room with the prisoner.

The constable of Burham deposed to apprehending the Prisoner. The trousers of the prosecutor the prisoner had on, and the jacket was in the bundle. When witness accused him of stealing them, he said, "You are right; I did steal them from a public-house at Chatham." The prisoner was not sober when he took him into custody.

Publicans and Sunday Travellers.

At the last Aylesbury County Court (Mr. J. W.

It appeared, from the plaintiff's statement, that on the day in question he was proceeding with a horse and Cart, heavily laden, from Oxford to Leighton Buzzard, and that upon calling at the defendant's house for refreshment it was refused; the plaintiff stating that he was, in consequence, compelled to proceed four miles further on his journey before he could procure anything, and that the heat of the day, and the want of refreshment, had such an effect upon him that he was obliged to lay up for the whole of the following week, by which he was damaged to the amount of 18s. The judge, however, refused to give the plaintiff the whole amount he claimed, but awarded the defendant to pay 5s. and the whole of the costs of the day.
