Canterbury Journal, Kentish Times and Farmers' Gazette, Saturday 24 September 1864.

Thomas Hanbury, and George Hanbury, to gentlemanly looking young men were brought up in custody of the superintendent who had apprehended them on a charge of swindling at Ramsgate.

The superintendent said the defendants arrived at Canterbury last evening, in a chaise with a pair of ponies, belonging to Mr. Watson of Ramsgate, and they stayed at the "Rose Hotel," where they had breakfast that morning and ordered lunch. They received information that the police were on their track, and they proceeded to the London, Chatham, and Dover, Railway Station, for the purpose of making good their escape, when they were apprehended. He, (the superintendent,) understood that besides victimising other tradesman, the defendants had run up a bill of £96 at "Wrights Hotel."

They were ordered to be detained till the police at Ramsgate be communicated with.

On leaving the bar, one of the defendant's asked if they might have a fly to take them to the station house, and they were told that they could if they were willing to bear the expense, to which they agreed.
