MARGATE. Pugilistic Visitors.— At Police-court Wednesday, Charles Coleman, visitor, was summoned for having on the inst. committed assault on Alfred Beadman, alias Dearce, also visitor. Mr. W. Hills appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Sydney, solicitor, of Kensington, London, for defendant Mr. Hills, In opening the case, said the assault complained of was committed on the Jetty Extension on the previous Thursday. His client who traded under the name of Dearce, had a very large business, which he carried on in Oldstreet, London ; and defendant, believed, was wine merchant, or licensed victualler, who resided in the neighbourhood of the complainant. For the last twelve years his client had lived with the lady, whom he fed and clothed, provided her with money without stint and they passed as man and wife. A few days ago he sent her down Margate for a holiday, and day or two afterwards, friend hinted to him that all was not going on quite right in Margate, and that he had better go down and see for himself. Accordingly he came down by the boat on Thursday, and arrived at the Jetty Extension about three o’clock in the afternoon. After promenading up and down for a short time, he saw defendant sitting with his “wife” and conversing with her in a very familiar manner. It was, therefore, unnecessary for him (Mr. Hills) to say that this naturally aroused the anger of complainant, and going up to him he said, Oh, this is your little game, is it ? This is what yon came down to the sea-side for , and slapped her face. Coleman instantly got up from his seat, and struck his client a most violent blow in the mouth, causing it to bleed profusely, and followed it up by several other severe blows. Complainant called the police, and defendant walked down the jetty, followed by complainant, who on their meeting a constable had his name and address taken. He (Mr. Hills) believed that the gentleman for the defence would urge that complainant hit defendant first, but this was quite untrue, as he thought he should be able to prove the evidence he should call. Another observation he should make on that was this. If complainant had been the aggressor, why had not Coleman applied for summons against him at the Magistrate’s Clerk's office ? This he had not done, and he thought that simple fact would upset defence of that kind altogether. He should be able to call the most conclusive evidence that the assault was committed, and one of the witnesses was a lady who had no connection with either party, but saw the whole affair and had volunteered to give evidence. He called complainant and several persons who bore out his statement; and Mr. Sydney, in defence, said the assault was admitted, but the same time it was a justifiable one. Coleman, as they had already heard, was sitting on the seat with Miss Brookes, or as complainant called her, his wife.” What harm, he asked, could there be in that? It was only natural that she should converse with Coleman, for they were neighbours on friendly terms, and
she would, of course, be pleased to meet someone down there that she knew. Some busy-body had doubt[less] seen them together and, making the most of the matter, told complainant that all was not right” down in Margate. Complainant came down, and seeing bis *• wife ” talking to defendant, hit her in the face. Like an Englishman defendant got and said he ought to be ashamed of himself, whereupon Beadman knocked defendant’s hat off and kicked him on the shins. Defendant went away and was followed by the complainant, inciting him to commit a breach of the peace. There was great deal of feeling in the case—[Mr. Hills, interrupting Of course there was when the blow was struck!—laughter—which no doubt accounted for the
case coming before the justices. Mr. Hills had said “If complainant hit defendant first, why did he not go and obtain ........

...... blows. Complainant called the police, and defendant walked down the jetty, followed by complainant, who on their meeting a constable had his name and address taken. He (Mr. Hills) believed that the gentleman for the defence would urge that complainant hit defendant first, why did he not go and obtain summons.” His (Mr. Sydney’s) client had little more consideration for complainant than that, which was the answer he had to give to Mr. Hills on that point. He called Miss Bertha Florence Brooks, who said she had lived for the last ten years with complainant, She was sitting on the Jetty Extension on Thursday, the 20th last,, talking to Coleman, when complainant came up, and said “ Yon cow, this is your little game ; what you mean by it ?” He then smacked her in the face, and defendant said, “ You coward why don’t you strike a man?" Beadman thereupon hit Coleman and knocked his hat off, at the same time kicking him on the leg. Defendant then walked down the Jetty, followed by complainant and a crowd of people, who hooted Beadman for assaulting her. Cross-examined by Mr. Hills : I came down here of my own accord. Coleman came down in the same train. I did not visit him at the Grand Hotel. I have been there to get refreshment, not to see Coleman.—An altercation here took altercation here took place between the two solicitors, Mr Sydney objecting to the cross-examination on the ground that would not have anything to do with the assault on the Jetty Extension. Mr. Hills said he wanted to show that the relations existing between his client and Miss Brooks justified him in smacking her face. Mr. Sydney said the act was illegal, inasmuch as as Miss Brooks was a kept woman, and not Beadman’s wife. The Bench ruled that Mr. Hills was liberty to cross-examine how he
pleased ; but at the same time they thought his going into matters which, they considered did not affect the case, was only wasting the time of the court.— Further cross-examined, Miss Brooks said : I am staying at 46, Marine-terrace. Beadman gave me the money to come down—£3. (Laughter.) I have visited Mrs. Freeman at the Grand Hotel. I went to the coffee-room on that occasion, and nowhere else. I had not been with Coleman on Wednesday, the 19th inst. Mr. Sydney said that was his case, and the Bench retired, but after a abort absence returned into court, when the Mayor said defendant would be fined 10/- and 12/- costs.

If you have access to newspapers do have a look at this report which mentions Henry being assaulted. It is quite a long piece and touches on the relationship between Henry and Bertha.

It has been fun and one of those ones where you think you're never going to crack it, and then a small bit of information appears. In this case, the mention of William Beadman in one of the records posted by AG.

alfred had a very large business in Old Street, London, traded under the name Dearce. He lived with a lady as man and wife for the last 12 years and her name was Miss Bertha Florence Brooks etc etc

So it looks like Harry/ Alfred's father changed the name at first.

Apologies poppycat for not finding those newspaper entries last night - should have been in bed long before I was looking. Perhaps being too specific as I see Kathleen is spelt Xathleen on the 1st Feb. search result and she is Deanes on 3rd Feb.

I see AG and Alviegal are sorting things out for you.

An inquiry was held by the West Sussex Coroner at. Southlands Hospital, on Monday, into the death of Kathleen Louisa Deares (62);73a Goldstone Villas, Hove, widow of Harry Deares, a furniture dealer. Evidence showed that Mrs. Deares was admitted to the hospital on Jan 15 with a fractured hip and died on Jan 27. Her brother, George Henry Baydon, said he was told by his sister that, while she was getting out of bed, her hip came out of it's socket and went back again with a "click". The following morning she collapsed on returning home and a doctor was fetched. Dr Lynch said it was a spontaneous fracture, due to disease of the left hip, and was not necessarily due to accident. Death was due to failure of the heart, the condition of which was such that death might have occurred at any time. A verdict was returned in accordance with the medical evidence.

Alfred's handwriting is terrible.
I think "Furniture dealer" is meant to be his occupation, not Louisa's. He wrote it on his line, then tried to change it, scored it out, and wrote it on Louisa's line instead.

I don't see their marriage. Maybe they weren't actually married.
