Trials at the Assizes Supposed Russian Agent at Dover
Alfred Hills a 24 year old tide waiter faced a misdemeanor charge for allegedly attempting to entice soldiers of the Foreign Legion at Shorncliffe to desert. Evidence showed unclear signs and the jury found him not guilty. In Maidstone George Henry Smith, 64, was tried for the murder of his wife after previously being deemed insane and confined. The court heard witnesses describing a fatal head wound and pistols found in the room. The jury acquitted on the grounds of insanity and he was kept in custody.

Drunken coachman before court amid high society transport
The Earl of Bective’s coachman was charged with being drunk and incapable of driving after a Saturday night run for Lord Bective and companions to a Viscount Palmerston residence. He was fined 40s or one month’s imprisonment after the judge warned of the danger to the public. In related matters, Beal faced charges for burglary at Mr Barber’s Cheapside shop with diamonds and watches recovered, and a London court heard on a separate fraud inquiry involving Strahan Co and Danish bonds. Bail was set for several defendants as investigations continued and witnesses testified about securities traced to the Overend era.
