COUNTY PETTY SESSIONS.—We are requested by Mr. James William Bennett, in reference to a report which appeared in the Gazette of the 19th July, concerning the opposition made by Mr. Stephenson, solicitor, to the transfer of the White Hart public-house license from Mr. Wm. H. Bennett to his brother, which opposition was said to be at the instance of Mr. Woodyer,—to state that on Friday, the 22nd, Mr. Woodyer called upon Mr. W.H. Bennett, and in the presence of ten or welve respectable persons whose names Mr. B. has, denied that he had ever authorised any person to make use of his name in the matter, and that he had never said or done anything calculated to injure Mr. Bennett's character. We are further informed that the Tories are resorting to vexations proceedings of this kind in order to intimidate publicans, and compel them, for their own protection, to become partisans of those who can grant or refuse licenses at their discretion. If similar annoyances are repeated, the whole of the circumstances with the parties concerned in them will be brought before the public. We may add that on Wednesday last the license of the White Hart was transferred to Mr. W.H. Bennett, without opposition.

MARTIN Kerley, 35, labourer, for stealing a bottle of ginger-brandy, the property of James William Bennett, at Chatham, on the 3rd December.—Fourteen days' hard labour.

STEVENS v. MOODY.

Mr. Sharland was for the plaintiff. This was an action to recover £15, balance of account for money lent.

Mrs. Rachel Stevens, wife of the plaintiff, stated that in August, 1849, she lent the defendant's wife £20, of which sum she had since paid £5. Witness had authorised her son, Richard, to employ Mr. Stephenson to get the money, but had never authorised him to take a bill or promissory note for it. She had not received any portion of the £15. Her son was since dead, and she had instructed her son-in-law, Bennett, to apply for the money about 15 months ago. In consequence of what she told him, he went to Mr. Stephenson. She had never seen any promissory note or bill of exchange for the amount, nor heard of such a thing till Bennett told her.

By Defendant—You did not bring me any money. You came and wanted my husband to sign a paper, but I told you he should not, as the case was in Mr. Stephenson's hands. You did not offer me ten shillings.

James William Bennett stated that he went to Moody and told him that as his father and mother-in-law were now without protectors in consequence of the death of their son, he wanted to know what he meant to do about the money.

[coverage continues, but no further reference to JWB]

Messrs. H. Bennett, of the Swan Inn, Parrock-street, C.B. Bennett, New Inn, and J. Bennett, Fountain Hotel, supplied the dinners and other refreshments to the Volunteers.

JOHN JOHNSON, for stealing one coat, value 15s., the property of George Henry Bennett, at Gravesend.—Three months' hard labor.

THE LATE CHARGE OF ROBBERY AT HUGGENS'S COLLEGE.—Yesterday (Friday) week, at the quarter sessions, Maidstone, Alfred Stedman, on bail, was charged with stealing 5 taps, and 160lbs. of leaden piping, the property of George Henry Bennett, Gravesend, on the 30th November. Mr. Smith appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Addison defended. The prisoner is the son of a builder at Northfleet, and an apprentice of the prosecutor's, a plumber, &c., at Gravesend. In November last, prosecutor had some work at Huggens's College, Northfleet, and the prisoner was put on that work, but in about three weeks he was taken off. On the evening of the 30th, a day or two after his being taken from the work, he was seen on the premises of the College, near to house No. 25, which was unoccupied, and used as a store-room and workshop. On the morning  of the 1st ult., some brass taps were missed from the house, and early next morning prisoner went to an eating-house in Gravesend, kept by a Mr. Hodgkin, and left a parcel, which was afterwards given up to P.C. Norris, who found it contained the brass taps in question. The prisoner was taken into custody, and in a cupboard in the cellar of his father's house was found a quantity of leaden piping cut into pieces. As regarded this piping, however, there was really no evidence to show that any had been stolen. The brass taps found in the bundle resembled those missed, but they could not be sworn to. Several witnesses were called who had known the prisoner from childhood, and they gave him an excellent character. The jury acquitted the prisoner. There was another indictment against him for stealing three other taps that were found in the bundle left at Hodgkin's, but the jury acquitted him on this charge also.

On the 5th inst., after a short illness, at his residence, 28, Queen-street, Gravesend, Mr. George Henry Bennett, aged 62 years.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That the PARTNERSHIP heretofore subsisting between us the undersigned CHARLES BENNETT and HENRY BENNETT, of Milton next Gravesend, in the county of Kent, Hotel and Tavern Keepers, is DISSOLVED by mutual consent, as and from the 29th day of October, 1852.

HENRY BENNETT.

Witness—Peter Harris, Clerk to Messrs. Hilder and Arnold, Solicitors, Gravesend.

The refreshment department by Mr. Henry Bennett, of the Swan, Parrock-street, was exceedingly well arranged, and met with the approval of all.

CAUTION TO PUBLICANS.—Mr. Henry Bennett, of the Swan, Parrock-street, was charged on summons with having his house open after twelve o'clock on Sunday morning.—Sergeant Chapman said that about 12.30 he saw several persons come out; went in and saw several others drinking in front of the bar and smoking cigars. Mr. Bennett said he had some persons staying at his house; the gas was turned out, and he had his candlestick in his hand, and was begging those parties to go, when the serjeant came in. Nothing had been served to them after twelve o'clock, but they would [not] stop talking. The Bench, finding that Mr. Bennett's house was perfectly well-conducted, and no complaints had ever been made before, said they would only fine him 1s. and costs.

Messrs. H. Bennett, of the Swan Inn, Parrock-street, C.B. Bennett, New Inn, and J. Bennett, Fountain Hotel, supplied the dinners and other refreshments to the Volunteers.

The license of the Swan was provisionally transferred from Mr. Henry Richard Bennett to Mr. John Cockburn.

COMPLIMENTARY DINNER.—On Thursday a complimentary dinner to Mr. Henry Bennett, late of the Swan, Parrock-street, came off at the Railway Tavern, Northfleet. The dinner was originated by a number of gentlemen of Gravesend, who had known Mr. Bennett as a tradesman of the town of Gravesend for the past twenty-four years. Upwards of forty tradesmen sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by the host, Mr. W.H. Bennett, under the presidency of Mr. Charles Bennett, of the New Inn, Gravesend, who was faced by Mr. Herbert, governor of the Licensed Victuallers' School. After the cloth was removed several capital songs were sung by the company, and the health of the host and hostess was cordially drank [sic] and respectfully responded to by Mr. Bennett.

The refreshment department was as usual well carried out by Mr. Henry Bennett, of Buckhurst-hill, formerly of Gravesend, who has catered to the satisfaction of the Council at all the meetings held at the Milton range.

Mr. Henry Bennett, formerly of the Swan Inn, Gravesend, as usual, supplied the creature comforts to the general satisfaction of his patrons.

BENNETT.—On the 30th ult., at 53, Amhurst-road, Hackney, Henry Richard Bennett, late of Farringdon-street, London, E.C., and formerly of Gravesend; in his 82nd year.

AN OLD MEMBER OF THE CITY CORPORATION.

At the Hackney Coroner's Court, Dr. Wynn Westcott held an inquest as to the death of Henry Richard Bennett, aged 83, a licensed victualler, late of Amherst-road, Homerton. For some time the deceased had suffered from illness, and on Friday died suddenly. The deceased had for some years been an active member of the City Corporation, and on the day of his sudden death one of his daughters was married.

Dr. Beale said that the cause of death was sudden failure of the heart's action, and the jury returned a verdict accordingly.

CHARLES BENNETT.

HENRY BENNETT.

Witness—Peter Harris, Clerk to Messrs. Hilder and Arnold, Solicitors, Gravesend.

Charles Benjamin Bennett, examined by Mr. Fenton, deposed—I am a licensed victualler, carrying on business at the Town Arms, in Queen Street. On Monday last I was on Windmill Hill, with some friends, flying a kite which I had constructed with great pains for the amusement of my children. The kite was in the form of a sailor, and had occupied all my leisure time for upwards of a month to make it; it was handsomely decorated and was very large. The sketch now produced is an accurate representation of it. It had glass eyes; and the words, "Town Arms," were inscribed on the riband round the hat of the sailor. While the kite was flying, the tail broke, which caused the kite to pitch and toss about and ultimately to fall into the defendant's garden. The defendant was working in the garden, and on seeing the kite fall he immediately left his work and commenced destroying the kite and kicking it to pieces. The bystanders called out "shame" and hooted at him. The value of the kite was 20s. The boys who hooted the defendant were not with me. I distinctly saw the defendant destroy the kite.

Cross-examined by defendant—I was on the hill when I saw you destroy it.

[Defendant ordered to pay 10s. for the damage done to the kite and 9s. 6d. costs.]

DESTROYING A KITE.—John Hastings, a gardener, was charged with destroying a fancy calico kite, the property of Mr. Bennett, landlord of the Town Arms, Queen-street, value 20s. Mr. Fenton appeared for the complainant,—who, in opening the case, said he would proved that wanton and malicious damage had been done to the property of his client by the defendant. The kite was a fancy one made by Mr. Bennett in his leisure time, for the amusement of his children; it was made in the form of a sailor-boy. He here submitted to the Magistrates a drawing of the kite in question. The complainant went to the Windmill-hill to fly it, and the tail came off, and the kite fell on the defendant's land. He came up and jumped on it, and tore it to pieces. Mr. Bennett did not use any abusive language to him, and did not incite others to do it.

Charles Benjamin Bennett, the complainant, sworn, stated that he went to the hill for the purpose of lying his child's kite, and from some accident, the tail came off, and the kite fell on to a market-gardener's garden. He ordered the string to be cut immediately the kite fell. Defendant instantly left his work, in a distant part of the garden, and came up to the spot where it was lying and destroyed it. The defendant went back to his work and would not come near witness for a long time. The boys who were on the hill, hooted at the defendant, but witness told them not to do so. He afterwards came near witness, and on his enquiring why he had destroyed his kite, he said he had his own business to attend to and if he had received any injury he was to seek reparation at the proper place.

Samuel Parker, currier, living in Queen-street, stated that he was with the complainant on the hill flying the kite in question, when the tail broke off, and the kite fell. it fell upon some fruit bushes. The defendant was in the garden and came from another part, and witness saw him do something with the kite. He was some distance from the kite when the defendant destroyed it. Witness did not see the cord cut. He saw it afterwards a complete wreck. The injury was not such as might have been done by the fall. The boys who hooted the defendant did not belong to the complainant. There were a great number of persons on the hill, who seemed greatly annoyed at the defendant's conduct. The kite fall on to defendant's garden was purely accidental.

Cross-examined by the defendant.—The complainant did not treat the boys with beer to insult the defendant. He did not encourage them in any way to commit a breach of the peace.

The defendant said the kite was destroyed before he touched it. Some one had pulled it along his crop of valuable Egyptian peas, which were growing for seed.

Mr. Bennett recalled.—The string was cut, and therefore he could not draw it.

John Holdaway, in the employ of the defendant, stated that he was in the garden when the kite fell; he was nearer to it than the defendant. It fell on the potatoes, and was dragged on to the peas; it had crossed two rows and was on the third, when defendant went up to it, and seeing that it was injuring his property, he put his foot on it for the purpose of breaking the string.

Cross-examined by Mr. Fenton.—Was about fifty yards off the kite. Did not go any nearer to it. Saw it move over the peas; it was dragged over for about ten or twelve yards.

Fined 10s. for the kite, and the costs 9s. 6d.

We learn by an announcement in another part of our columns, that our fellow townsman, Mr. C.B. Bennett, late of the Town Arms, Queen Street, has become the host of the New In.. We have no doubt that under his management, although the bowling green is no more, and neat post chaises are things of the past, a very social game at "bowls" may still be played and a "neat" article be furnished, although not in the shame of a post chaise.

Charles Benjamin Bennett deposed that he was landlord of the New Inn public house. He was in the coffee room talking to several gentlemen, when his attention was drawn to the bar by the violent conduct of the prisoners. Witness told them he could not allow such conduct in his house, and on their refusing to leave, he, with assistance, put them into the street. Taylor then deliberately smashed the windows. The prisoners were then taken to the station, Taylor resisting very much.

[Taylor fined £2 11s including damage and costs, or one month's imprisonment; Blackman fined 5s or seven days' imprisonment; both fines promptly paid.]

William Taylor, and Henry Blackman, two young men described as painters, were charged with disorderly conduct at the New Inn public-house. Taylor was also charged with assaulting the barmaid, and also with wilfully breaking two squares of glass at the same house.—Blanche Emily Dunkley deposed that she was barmaid at the New Inn public-house. The prisoner Taylor, on Saturday night about eleven o'clock, came into the New Inn and called for a glass of ale and a half-ounce of tobacco, for which she charged him 4d.; her attention was then drawn to another part of the bar to serve some customers, and whilst serving them Taylor came to her and wished for his money back again, which she refused to give him; on her refusal Taylor called her a thief, and a rogue, and used other filthy language, and at the same time threw a sugar crusher at her, which struck her on the shoulder; she felt so annoyed at this that she slapped his face; the prisoner again struck her, and she, witness, then threw part of a glass of ale over him, and whilst she was going out of the bar into the bar-parlour he threw part of a glass of ale over her, and at the same time threatened to smash her head with a glass.—Charles Benjamin Bennett deposed that he was the landlord of the New Inn public-house; he was in the coffee-room talking to several gentlemen, when his attention was drawn to the bar by the violent conduct of the prisoners; on going into the bar he told the prisoners he could not allow such conduct in his house, and on their refusing to leave the house, he, with the assistance of several customers, put them out into the street. Directly witness got inside the door, the prisoner Taylor deliberately smashed the windows in the doors; they were of great thickness, and were engraved with the Freemason's Arms; the value of the windows was £1 6d. 6d. Witness's hand was cut by the falling glass, the prisoner then tried to smash another window, value £3, but could not succeed; the window was all smeared with blood, and his (the prisoner's) hand was most frightfully cut; the prisoners were then taken to the police-station.—Mr. Supt. White deposed that he was at the station when the prisoners were brought in; the prisoner Taylor was very drunk, and made use of most foul language; he bled very profusely from a wound in the hand; the place was like a slaughter-house with blood. Drs. Whitcombe and Sanders were sent for, and attended and dressed the wounds, which were considered very dangerous at the time.—The prisoner Taylor said he did not assault the barmaid till she assaulted him; he was then so exasperated, that he did not know what he did.—The prisoner Blackman had nothing to say.—The bench after consulting, inflicted a fine of 10s., together with the damage of £1 6s. 6d., 10s., for the attendance of the medical men, and 4s. costs, making £2 11s., or one month's imprisonment. Blackman was fined 5s., including costs, or seven days. The fines were paid in both cases.

Messrs. H. Bennett, of the Swan Inn, Parrock-street, C.B. Bennett, New Inn, and J. Bennett, Fountain Hotel, supplied the dinners and other refreshments to the Volunteers.

Mr. J. RUSSELL then proposed "The health of Mr. Charles Bennett," who had originated the affair, and worked hard in getting it up. (Cheers.)

Mr. C.B. BENNETT, in an appropriate speech, acknowledged the toast.

BENNETT.—On the 3rd inst., after a long and painful illness, Charles B. Bennett, late of Gravesend, aged 62 years.

Richard Bennett of Rhode street, Chatham, said I am a shipwright in the Dock Yard, myself and two other young men were walking down the street, near to the Globe inn, we saw four four gentlemen going up the street, they were walking together on the pavement, the same side of the way as the Globe, one of the gentlemen had a yellow stick in his hand, and one of them broke one of the Globe windows. I saw the officer Dudgeon shove his stick into it, one of my companions named Terry, immediately went into the Globe and told Mr. Jenner of the circumstance; I and the complainant went directly upwards to the Aun [sc. Sun] hotel, the gentlemen were not in uniform, myself and Terry saw the four gentlemen in the hall of the inn, heard one of the officers swear very much; Mr. Dudgeon is the person who struck me, I can only recognise Mr. Dudgeon and Mr. Puleston, but the whole four officers came out to the door, and they offered to fight. Mr. Dudgeon had a stick in his hand, and he offered to fight any one or all, several persons answered him, and one man, named Mott, said he would fight him, Mr. Dudgeon then run into Mott, and afterwards Mr. Dudgeon struck me on the shoulder, I ran away towards Mr. Wells; I saw Mr. Dudgeon strike the ostler Attersall, with a stick twice across the head, the last time Attersall fell down into the horse road, I did not see Mr. Prettyman do anything, but the whole of the four officers went out of the door of the Aun [sc. Sun] inn, a young man named Rigby picked up the end of the stick and gave it to me, Attersall was in the horse road, near to Mr. Wickham's when he was knocked down, I cannot say where Mr. Prettyman was, Attersall did not say anything to provoke the officer.—

Cross examined by Mr. Hills:—I was struck both times by Mr. Dudgeon, whilst I was standing near to Mr. Hollicks, the linen draper, I saw Attersall struck, and as I was going down the street homewards, I met with the gentleman, and they said you are one of them, and Mr. Dodge struck me across the face. It was about 25 minutes to 10 o'clock at night, the affair took place.

By the court:—They did not make a noise, but they laughed after they broke the window. The mob did not molest the officers, Mr. Dudgeon brought out of the Inn a poker, and said "I am the one come along," and run after the people, the persons were frightened and run away, when he had the poker he was in his uniform.

Henry James Rigby sworn said, I live in the High-street, Chatham, I saw the ostler at the Globe Inn, struck on the night of Thursday week, near the Sun hotel, Chatham, I think the officer that struck him was Capt. Pulleston, he also struck me and the young man Bennett.

Richard Sutton Bennett, an apprentice to a shipwright, stated that he attended the Dockyard school, and had a set of mathematical instruments furnished to him by the master, those instruments belonged to the Crown, they were given to him in brown paper, he did not use them as he had a case of instruments of his own. The Government instruments, are missing. Witness missed them on the 22d of last month, on the 8th of February he went to Killick's shop in the High-street of Chatham, to purchase some webbing. It was about 8 o'clock in the evening. Killick is a general dealer, in the shop he saw the prisoner and his boy Gates, on the counter he perceived lying on brown paper two pair of compasses, a small pair of dead-eye sweeps, and one pen holder fit for the use of compasses. Witness asked the prisoner where he got these instruments from, he said he had bought them of a little boy, three or four nights or a week back. Witness told the prisoner they belonged to the Dockyard school, he asked the prisoner if he knew the boy. The prisoner then said he did not buy them himself but his boy, he afterwards said his father-in-law had bought them. The prisoner then said to his shop boy why did you not put the things away and not let them lay about on the counter. Witness afterwards acquainted the master of the school what he had seen. The master and himself then went to the prisoner's house, witness went into the shop and spoke to the prisoner, and asked him the price of the instruments he had seen lying on his counter previously. Prisoner said he had not them, as he had sold them to a boy named Fox and they had been bought of a boy named Wright, witness told the prisoner that if he had sold them, he would have to find them again as they belonged to the school, and that the master was coming to him about them. Prisoner said he could not help that. The master then came into the shop.

By the Court: The instruments were exposed on the counter lying in brown paper and appeared as if fresh bought. Witness examined only one pair of compasses and they had the mark cross-ways on the top, witness believes the apprentices put their private marks on the instruments furnished to them.

[Killick discharged, Fox committed for trial on four different counts of felony.]

ACCIDENTS IN CHATHAM. [ . . . ] A second accident also happened to Richard Bennett, leading-man of the shipwrights employed breaking up the two mortar vessels, who was struck by the end of one of the beams, and thrown into the hold, sustaining a very severe injury to the spine and also to the front part of the skull.

Richard Bennett, shipwright, said he was at work on the staging of the ship, where the defendant also was. The plank was rocking about, and suddenly the witness heard the complainant call out. The defendant then got off the stage, and witness saw the blood rolling down his head. The piece of wood fell about three feet.

Mr. Nicholson asked the witness if a piece of wood falling that depth would cause a wound of the nature now shewn on the complainant's head?

The witness said it would. The piece of wood was hard African oak, the witness had received a similar wound from of piece of wood which fell off the stage. He was within 12 feet of the defendant at the time of the occurrence.

It was unanimously resolved to send a vote of condolence to the family of the late Mr Richard Sutton Bennett, that gentleman having for years been a member of the Board.

COUNTY PETTY SESSIONS.—We are requested by Mr. James William Bennett, in reference to a report which appeared in the Gazette of the 19th July, concerning the opposition made by Mr. Stephenson, solicitor, to the transfer of the White Hart public-house license from Mr. Wm.
