From the Maidstone Gazette and West Kent Courier, 26 January 1830.

A Coroners inquest was held onto Thursday se'nnight before W. R. A. Pettman Esq., Mayor and Coroner of Sandwich, on the body of William Foot, the landlord of the "Rose and Crown," High Street, Ramsgate, who on that day put a period to his existence by discharging the following piece to his head, which was literally shattered to atoms.

It appeared by the evidence, the deceased was missing the great part of the day, and on search being made he was found in the woodhouse at the back part of the premises, the door of which was locked.

Previous to committing the rash act, he most deliberately took off his hat and boots, the former was found suspended and the latter lying near the unfortunate man.

He had shortly before being served with a writ for the very trifling sum of £10, and there is every reason to believe he use the same as wadding, when he committed the fatal deed.

Verdict. Insanity.

Ramsgate. Police Court—Monday.

(Before the Hon. J. S. Laws, W. H. S. George, Shum Story, Esqrs., and the Rev. W. G. Sicklemore.)

A case came before the Court at the instance of Mrs. Catherine Miller, widow of Mr. George Miller, who died at the Brazils of cholera, and deceased being a member of the Ramsgate Friendly Union Burial Society, held at the "Rose and Crown," High-street, Ramsgate. a claim of £10 was made by the widow. Mr. Judge appeared for plaintiff. The secretary and the stewards appeared on summons to show cause why the £10 was not paid. They contended that deceased, by the club rules, was not a free member, in consequence of his not having paid the subscription for six calendar months previous to his death, and that they had tendered to plaintiff £3 being what she was entitled to, as well as 9s. 6d., being the money that had been paid for deceased since his death. He dying abroad it was not known to either party, that he was dead, until they were so informed by the owners of the vessel in which he left England. The widow refused to take the money tendered, and sued for the £10. A ticket was produced, signed by the secretary, Mr. Jarman, and also the names of two of the stewards, stating that deceased was a fine member, and that he was entitled to all the benefits of the society. This being the case, the magistrates retired from the Court, and in a few minutes returned, and stated to the stewards they were bound to abide by the condition expressed in the ticket produced, it being the act of their own secretary, and they directed the £10 to be paid to the widow, with 20s. 6d. costs.

Mr. Jarman, the secretary, observed he had given the ticket one month before he should have done, through a mistake. The case occupied the Court an hour and a half.
