From the Dover Telegraph and Cinque Ports General Advertiser, Saturday 7 January, 1837.

REGENT WINE VAULTS.

MARKET PLACE, DOVER

An Advertisement having appeared in the Dover Telegraph, of Saturday, the 24th inst. offering for sale the above Premises, JOHN BROCKMAN thinks it incumbent of him to debase the Public minded by stating that he has no intention of relinquishing or giving up his Establishment - that he has an unexpired Lease of Ten Years of the said Premises; and supposing the Advertisement before alluded to many material prejudice his business, he thinks it was a duty on the part of the Lessor or his Solicitor, to have made an allusion to the Terms of his, J. B's Lease of the Premises; and if purchased, that they were subject to an unexpired Term of Ten Years.

J. B,. grateful to his Friends and the Public for the liberal encouragement he has received for the last Four Years in the above Establishment, begs to inform them that he has just received a large supply of Foreign Wines and Spirits, which he continues to vend, either Wholesale, or Retail, in Town and Country.

Kentish Gazette, 2 December 1851.

Dover.

A few days since Mr. Harding, mess master of the Rifle Brigade, was invited to a complimentary repast, at the "Regent Wine Vaults," given by the purveyors, &c. of the mess department, as a farewell memento of esteem for that gentleman on the eve of his leaving Dover for Bristol. After the feast, the sentiments of respect generally entertained towards the guest of the evening were repeatedly expressed, as were also the sincere wishes of all present for his future prosperity.
