Damages for False Imprisonment: Yesterday, at the Clerkenwell County Court, James Walter Pinsent, a district manager of the Liverpool Victoria Legal Friendly Society, 40 Queen Margaret’s Grove, Mildmay Park, sued William Thomas Sharpe, carpenter and joiner of Collingson Street, Southwark Bridge Road, to recover £10, damages for false imprisonment: The plaintiff’s case was that on May 24th he was in Petherton-street, Gray’s-Inn-road, canvassing. As he was talking to some women in the street, he saw a man run past, and another in pursuit. Plaintiff saw that it was a case of watch snatching. After a few minutes, defendant returned, and plaintiff said to him, “What have you lost?” Defendant replied. “I have lost my watch chain, but I know the man who has got it.” As he said this, he looked hard at the plaintiff. Defendant repeated, still looking fixedly at the plaintiff, “They’ve got my chain but not my watch, and I know the man wot’s took it.” Plaintiff then walked to the Holborn Town Hall to get a bus, and the defendant followed and gave him into custody. He was taken to the Clerkenwell Police – station, where the inspector warned the defendant was undertaking great responsibility in charging the plaintiff. The defendant, however, said he would take the responsibility, and persisted with the charge. Plaintiff was detained at the station for nearly four hours, and then admitted to bail. Next day the Magistrate dismissed the charge. Defendant did not appear and was not legally represented. Judge Meadows-White gave judgment for the amount claimed, with costs.

East Cliff Pavilion Promenade Shelter: To the Editor: … Dear Sir, – In opening the Herne Bay Press this morning, I was pleased to see in one of your leaders remarks about East Cliff Pavilion, and I think your suggestion of having removable windows is a good one, and it should be taken up by the Council at once. I have been down several weekends myself lately and find the Northeast winds to be very searching and trying. I do not consider there is sufficient shelter on the East Cliff. I noticed with regret on the Saturday before Whit-Monday that the 7th Dragoon Guards Band was playing in the Pavilion to about two dozen people. If there had been some proper shelter outside, hundreds would have been glad to listen to the good music of the Band. I cannot for the life of me understand why the Bandstand is so neglected, even in the season. There is a one and a-half hour’s performance in the morning. With such a good bandstand and lovely position something ought to be going on all day. I feel confident that if the Council only made it more attractive, and provided the promenade with some shelter, it would be the means of greater revenue to them and to the Band Committee, and a boon to the visitors and inhabitants of Herne Bay. — Yours JAMES W. PINSENT. 65, Allerton Road, Lordship Park, London, N., June 6, 1907. [GRO0462 Tiverton] (?)
