It is handsomely appointed, and is precisely the description of house required, being close to the place of embarkation to the Continent, and conveyances continually passing to and from the railway station. Travellers will now have no occasion to hunt half over the town for accommodation, which has frequently been the case of late, the Pavilion and the other inns not being found sufficient to accommodate all comers.

Petty Sessions, Tuesday; Before John Bateman Esq., Mayor, William Major Esq., and Capt. Sherren.
Christophe Lindner and Louis Buttner, foreigners, were placed at the bar under the following circumstances:-
Henry Davis deposed: I am the manager of the Royal George Hotel, Folkestone. About a quarter before eleven last Monday night I was in the hotel, and Christophe Lindner came in smoking a cigar, apparently very tipsy. In the part of the house where Lindner was I do not allow smoking, and I told him so. He persisted in smoking, refused to go out of the house, and I therefore put him out. I then went into my coffee room and Louis Buttner came in with Lindner, said to me “Why did you insult my friend?”, threw me down, and struck me several times with his fist upon the head and other parts of the body.
John Brown, servant to Mr. Davis, corroborated this evidence.
Thomas Burrill, police constable, deposed: Between eleven and twelve o`clock last Monday night I was passing the door of the Royal George Hotel. I heard a noise in a room there, someone called me, and I went into the coffee room, where I saw Mr. Davis lying on the floor, and on his getting up Buttner went to him and offered to strike him, but I prevented him.
The defendant Buttner, by John Brown, his interpreter, stated that Mr. Davis fell against the corner of a table and hurt his head, and that he did not strike him on the head. He was ordered to pay 15s. 6d., including costs, which he paid. Lindner, the other defendant, was discharged.
This penalty appears scarcely sufficient to deter others from committing the like offence. The Royal George Hotel is fitted up with every species of comfort, and is patronised by the nobility and gentry passing to and from the Continent, and if persons are to be allowed to access any part of the house they choose (inebriated and smoking) the proprietor would be a serious loser. When parties have been to a great expense in making a house complete in every respect for the accommodation of travellers they have a right to receive every protection.
Kentish Gazette 23-9-1845
Folkestone, Sept. 22: The traffic between this place and Boulogne during the past week has been immense, and notwithstanding the violent gales, only on one day interrupted. We hear that it is contemplated to erect increased accommodation for the public by extending considerably the Pavilion Hotel, for although the Royal George Hotel is opened and in full business there is yet a want of means to meet the tide of demand, which is daily increasing here.

Advertisement: Boulogne and Paris, via Folkestone. The advantages of travelling via this route are apparent from the great increase in traffic at this port, which is mainly attributable to the time saved by the shortness of the passage, and the superior and splendid fast steamers that leave Folkestone daily.
H. Davies has recently fitted up and opened the Royal George Hotel des Etrangers, replete with every species of comfort, which he flatters himself is not to be surpassed between London and Paris.
From the experience of H. Davies, as a well-known caterer for the public comfort, and his extremely moderate scale of charges, he hopes to ensure a continuance of the patronage he has already been honoured with; his sole aim being to give such satisfaction to the traveller as will induce him to revisit the Royal George, and to recommend his friends. It is situated near the harbour and the custom house, and conveyances pass to and from the station every day.
To prevent trouble it is requested that the passengers upon disembarkation, or leaving the railway station, should ask for “the Royal George Hotel”, servants of the house being in attendance to conduct them.
Restaurant a la carte. On parle Français, Allemagne et Italien.
Note : It appears from the above that Mr. Davies was more than just the manager.

Assizes, July 27, before the Lord Chief Baron and a special jury.
Heginbotham v South Eastern Steam Packet Company
An action against the company by the Landlord of the Royal George Hotel, Folkestone, for a nuisance in establishing a manufactory for steam boilers within 60ft. of the hotel.
Mr. Sergeant Channell stated the case for the plaintiff.
Charles Heginbotham, son of the plaintiff, conducted the business of his father at the Royal George Hotel, Folkestone. The rent he believes is £300 a year. Knows the workshop belonging to the South Eastern Steam Packet Company. It is a wooden shed about sixty feet from the hotel. It is used for manufacturing and repairing boilers for the steamboats, which occasions a very loud noise and almost incessant hammering, in rivetting the boilers, so loud that it is hardly possible to hear one another speak from six o'clock in the morning till six in the evening. Their customers have frequently complained that they could not sleep or rest in consequence of it. The noise renders the premises uncomfortable and in a sensible degree inconvenient.
Gotliff Graf, waiter at the hotel, gave similar evidence.
His Lordship - Do you think it would do any good to persons coming there for the benefit of their health?
Witness - No.
His Lordship - Except to get them up in the morning (a laugh).
Witness - They cannot hear one another speak.
His Lordship - Well, that would only compel them to go out into the fields to converse.
Mr. Drury, who lived next door to the hotel, gave similar evidence, and stated that he considered the value of the hotel greatly diminished in consequence of the noise.
There being no defence, a verdict was given for plaintiff. Damages £15, being at the rate of £5 a week.

Assizes, July 27, before the Lord Chief Baron and a special jury.
Heginbotham v South Eastern Steam Packet Company
For plaintiff Mr. Serjeant Channell and Mr. Peacock. No-one appeared for the defendants, the learned gentleman entrusted with their case having declined to act, in consequence of some alleged irregularity in the pleadings, preferring to let judgement go by default in this instance and take the case before a superior court on the point of law.
The plaintiff sought damages for injury sustained by him, as landlord of the Royal George Hotel, Folkestone, in consequence of the intolerable noises proceeding from the steam-boiler manufactory of the defendants, erected a short distance from his premises.
The following evidence was given:-
Charles Heginbotham, son of the plaintiff, conducted the business of his father at the Royal George Hotel, Folkestone. The rent he believes is £300 a year. Knows the workshop belonging to the South Eastern Steam Packet Company. It is a wooden shed about sixty feet from the hotel. It is used for manufacturing and repairing boilers for the steamboats, which occasions a very loud noise and almost incessant hammering, in riveting the boilers, so loud that it is hardly possible to hear one another speak from six o'clock in the morning till six in the evening. Their customers have frequently complained that they could not sleep or rest in consequence of it. The noise renders the premises uncomfortable and in a sensible degree inconvenient.
Gotliff Graf, waiter at the hotel, gave similar evidence.
His Lordship - Do you think it would do any good to persons coming there for the benefit of their health?
Witness - No.
His Lordship - Except to get them up in the morning (a laugh).
Witness - They cannot hear one another speak.
His Lordship - Well, that would only compel them to go out into the fields to converse.
Mr. Drury, who lived next door to the hotel, gave similar evidence, and stated that he considered the value of the hotel greatly diminished in consequence of the noise.
His Lordship said it was for the jury to say if they were satisfied this was a nuisance. It seemed there was this incessant noise going on, such as the Cyclops was said to make somewhere or other. And although it might be very pleasant to be called at six in the morning, one would rather it would be by the crowing of a cock or some other rural sound than by this very abominable clamour. It was likewise not very pleasant for visitors to be obliged to go down into the cellar to hold a conversation.
There being no defence, a verdict was given for plaintiff. The damages given, as the nuisance had only existed three weeks before the commencement of the action, and the action being only brought to try a right, were £15, being at the rate of £5 a week.

Assizes, July 27, before the Lord Chief Baron and a special jury.

The plaintiff is proprietor of the Royal George Hotel, and the present action was to recover damages for a nuisance created by the defendants` workshops being within a few yards of his premises.
Verdict for the plaintiff, £15 damages.

Petty Sessions, Tuesday; Before David Major Esq., Mayor, W. Major, C. Golder, and S. Mackie Esqs.
William Atkins, a constable in the employ of the South Eastern Railway, stationed on this harbour, appeared to answer the information of John Transom Boult, landlord of the Victoria Inn, for unlawfully assaulting and beating him.
Complainant
deposed: On Thursday last, at about half past nine o`clock, I went to the
station for the purpose of looking out for passengers by the half past nine
down train. The defendant came up to me and told me to go off; I told him I
would not go, as I was not on the Company`s premises; he then pushed me. I told
him if he did so again I would knock him down; he then pushed me again, and I
struck him in self-defence. The defendant then took me by the shirt collar and
carried me into the waiting room, and there ne nearly strangled me, so much so
that when they put me on a chair I fell down, and I heard some of the persons
present say “For God`s sake go and fetch his wife, for the man is dead”. Mr.
Lockhart, the station master, said to the defendant “D--- your eyes. Do your
duty”, and then I recovered. I made for the doorway, when they kept me locked
in for more than fifteen minutes. I then asked the policeman if he considered
that I was his prisoner, when he replied that I was and that I should be kept
there.
Thomas Hawkins, porter at the Royal George, corroborated all that complainant has stated, and further said that he started to fetch the complainant`s wife, as they all considered when the defendant brought him in he was dead.
Stephen Gutland, another porter of the Royal George, corroborated the last witness`s testimony.
Jesse Holdsworth, for the defendant, deposed that he saw the defendant strike the complainant first, and then a scuffle ensued. Complainant was standing about five yards inside the turntable, which is on the harbour, near the station.
Charles Lockhart, station master, deposed that he heard a scuffle, and heard that the defendant was running after some person, but he did not know who, but he thought it was a thief; he denied making use of the bad language attributed to him by the complainant.
The defendant made a long speech, and also stated that he had been a policeman in London nine years, when the Magistrates said that he ought to be better acquainted with his duty, and fined him 50s. and costs, or one month`s imprisonment.
The fine and costs, £3, were paid.

Petty Sessions, May 21: Before James Tolputt Esq., Mayor, W. Major and J. Kelcey Esqs.
Ellen Ovendon appeared on summons charged with committing an assault on Ann Davis.
It appeared that on Saturday night last, the 17th inst., about 11 o`clock, the complainant, in company with another woman, went into the Royal George spirit stores. At the bar stood the defendant, and immediately upon the complainant`s entrance, (to use her own words), she “flew at me, boxed my ears, and tore my bonnet”. The barman however interposed to prevent further hostilities.
The barman proved that the bonnet was torn by the defendant, but that no blows were struck, as he prevented it. Bad language was bandied from one to the other; and in his opinion there was hardly any choice as to which was the worst.
The defendant admitted the charge, but pleaded the provocation she had received by the complainant calling her names. Convicted in the penalty of 1s. fine and 13s. costs. The money was paid.

A few evenings ago considerable consternation was excited among the visitors at the Royal Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone, by a sudden disturbance in the grand saloon, which, upon inquiry, was ascertained to arise from the arrival of a police messenger, who was in hot pursuit of a lady and gentleman, travelling as Lord and Lady M`Donald, who had two days previously taken up their quarters there with a suspiciously small quantum of luggage and no servant. It would seem that the housekeeper of the Royal Pavilion, having a keen and critical eye to rank and its indications, did not on their appearance forthwith install them in the first class apartments. Her Ladyship, however, disdaining the well-furnished first floor sitting room, being, as she protested, quite unaccustomed to such localities, and demanding of the landlord the use of the grand saloon, was accommodated accordingly. There, in state, they rested, luxuriating upon the choicest viands, and indulging in the most expensive wines, until the messenger informed Mr. Doridant, the proprietor of the hotel, of their doubtfulness, upon which, proceeding to the grand saloon, he insisted upon his noble guests paying his bill, £9. His Lordship, at first indignant, was unable to produce the required amount, and stoutly pleaded the privilege of his nobility, whilst Her Ladyship sought her help in tears – the usual safety valve of ladies in distress. The “cruel-hearted landlord” proved obdurate to the melting entreaties of “my Lady” and the dodges of “my Lord,” still demanding “the due and forfeit of his – bill.” All they could muster between them was £4, but upon the threat of handing them over to the police, Her Ladyship took her bracelet from her arm, and her chain and charms (of a very trashy description) from her neck, and, depositing these also with the landlord, they, at the midnight hour, were allowed to depart, when they repaired to the Royal George, but thinking the neighbourhood dangerous for a longer sojourn, abruptly quitted the town by the half past 2 a.m. train for London, accompanied by a message along the wires warning the authorities at the station. Much to the regret of all who knew of the affair at Folkestone, the Justices` warrant had not been forwarded from Hastings at that time for their apprehension, and thus the self-styled “Lord and Lady M`Donald” are now at large. It appears that for the last 18 months this noble pair have been preying upon the credulity of hotel-keepers, assuming various cognomens and titles of nobility, their modus operandi being to run up a large bill, then to obtain, if they had luck, some small amount as a balance on a forged cheque, and to decamp to the next fashionable hotel, always taking care, by way of further blind, to leave behind them an advertisement, cut out from some newspaper, announcing the sale of an estate, attached to which is a copy of a letter negotiating for the purchase of the same, with sundry calculations as to extent, rental, &c. They left the Marine Hotel, Hastings, having obtained in the above manner £7, upon a forged cheque of £40, and it was on this charge that a warrant was issued, and an attempt without success made to apprehend them at Folkestone. The police authorities are in possession of the following description of the parties:- The “Lady” is about 40 years of age, not prepossessing, dressed elegantly; black moiré antique dress; paints her face; carries a white parasol, and wears a white lace bonnet and Indian shawl. The “Gent” is about 48 years of age, stands 5 feet 10 inches high, is of a military appearance, has swelled eyes, large whiskers, and face much powdered with white. He dresses in a greyish coloured suit, all alike.

About 7 o`clock on the evening of the 18th ult., two privates of the 2nd battalion, 21st Fusiliers, lying at Shorncliffe, and who were returning from the Fleetwood School of Musketry, went into the bar of the Royal George Hotel in this town, and called for rum. The barmaid, seeing they were already the worse for liquor, refused to supply spirits, but offered any sort of malt liquor. This offer they refused, and Private Cox then drew his bayonet, fixed it to his rifle, and told the girl he would give her that; or if she did not like that he had some ball cartridge he would give her. The other soldier took up his belt and attempted to strike the civilians present, but P.C. Swain, who had been sent for, after long persuasion at personal risk, persuaded them to go off to the Camp. They are now in custody for trial by district court martial.
