PROVIDENTIAL PRESERVATION

Last evening, about half past eight, Mrs. Rogers, a respectable inhabitant, who must be upwards of seventy years of age, in proceeding from St. James's-street to her residence in Oxenden-street, after turning into the Commercial Quay, mistook her way from the darkness of the night, and walked over the edge of the quay. The tide being down, her fall could not have been less than fifteen feet to the level of the Pent; but, surprising to relate, she escaped without personal injury, and even an empty jug she carried in her hand remained unbroken, when the persons attracted by her cries, proceeded to her assistance. The only cause to which, under Providence, her escape can be attributed, is the extreme violence of the wind, which acting on her clothes, in all probability prevented a rapid descent. Mrs. Rogers, on being rescued from her perilous situation, was taken to the "True Briton Tavern," where every attention was paid to her, and she afterwards walked home, expressing anxiety only that her friends might not be alarmed by the occurrence.

DOVER POLICE COURT

Thomas Robinson, charged with having his house, the "True Briton," Commercial Quay, open contrary to law on Sunday night last.

Police-constable Edward Smith said, that on Sunday last, in passing the house, he heard a noise, to which he called the attention of another officer, Collard, when both went to the door and knocked. Mrs. Paul opened the door, and said the house was closed. They followed her in, when witness saw four persons in a room there, with glasses containing spirituous liquors. Two of the men drank the contents of two of the glasses in his presence. In another room he saw two persons - a man and a woman. The man was Mr. Broadley; the female was unknown to witness. One of the four men was a Dover man named William Kay; the others were Frenchmen. Mrs. Paul told witness that he might do his best or worst; that the house was not in her name; and that if he wanted anything, he must go to Mr. Robinson, whose name was over the door. - Police-constable Collard fully corroborated the foregoing.

Mr. Robinson explained how the house was licensed in his name. He was the agent of the proprietor, Messrs. Walker; who, as Mrs. Paul wished to get out, requested him (Mr. Robinson) to apply for the licence in his name, to prevent its lapsing, or the closing of the house. He then proceeded to cross-examine Smith, with a view of showing that Smith had frequently misconducted himself while in the police; tat the information was got up from other than pure motives; and that therefore the credibility was open to objection. - Mrs. Paul, who was called for the defence, said the house was closed, and nothing drawn or sold after 10 o'clock. Smith had frequently had drink there, and had refused to assist in the removal of disorderly characters when called upon.

Mr. Robinson made objections to the information, on the ground that no liquor had been sold after the time allowed by law, and that the house was only open for the removal of those within, so that a disturbance might be avoided.

The Bench considered the case proved, and as it was the first offence, the lenient fine of £1, including costs, was inflicted. Mr. Robinson said if it was his own case, he should appeal against the decision; but ultimately Mrs. Paul consented to the fine being paid.
