From the Dover Telegraph and Cinque Ports General Advertiser, Saturday 30 August, 1834. Price 7d.

Thomas Johnson was indicted for burglary and robbing in a dwelling-house. Mrs. Ashman, landlady of the "Two Brewers," in Sandwich, and her servant, deposed to the breaking open of the house in April last, and that a case bottle, containing about three pints of brandy was stolen there-from. The prisoner was apprehended in Wingham, having offered some brandy in a similar bottle for sale, at Ash. He confessed the robbery, but as the evidence did not sufficiently establish the burglary, he was found guilty of the minor offence, and sentenced to seven years' transportation.
