At Canterbury
County Court on Monday the case of Wallace v Moxon was heard. It was a claim
for 16s. 9d. for repairs &c. to a public house, the Folkestone Cutter,
occupied by the plaintiff at Folkestone, belonging to Mr. R. Moxon.
The plaintiff
said he took the house from Mr. Moxon and had the work done at his order. When
he sent the bill in the defendant refused to pay it. Mr. Minter, who was for
the defendant, called Mr. Moxon, who said it was not true that he gave the
plaintiff orders to get the work in question done. The bill included the
painting of the plaintiff`s name on the sign board of the house, and the insertion
of two panes of glass in the window.
The Judge
said the plaintiff had failed to make out his case, and the verdict would be
for the defendant.

lodgings at the Radnor. Deceased was ”a little beery” but there was nothing the
matter with witness. Deceased was sober when he came into Folkestone. When

quarter past five by some young men, who said there was a dead body in the
harbour. He went towards the Stade quay, and saw deceased lying on his belly.
His feet were about five or six feet from the quay. He sent for the police,
having felt his hand and found that he was quite dead. The body was placed on a
stretcher and conveyed to the old police station. Witness saw the body
searched, and saw his watch taken out of his watch fob. It had stopped at one
o`clock. It was high water at one minute past two. There were three half pence,
a tobacco box, a dinner bag, and a small book in his pockets. His dress was not
disarranged in any way.
Dr. Perry
said there were no marks about the body, and in his opinion death was caused by
drowning.
