13th December, 2011: I have now received permission to include reports from the Folkestone Observer on the blog. My thanks to Kent Libraries and to the Kent Messenger Group (the Observer merged with the Kentish Express in September 1870). A link to the K.M. Group will be found in the Links section.
This will mean that many cases will be reported twice, but hopefully with some more detail, and almost certainly there will be cases reported here that were not covered in the Chronicle. It makes perfect sense to me to include reports from all the local newspapers chronologically in order of publication, so, as the necessary permissions are granted, so those other publications will be included.
