The Sheer Hulk Beer Shop and Prostitutes:
From Dover Telegraph Saturday 10 May 1856, back page col.4: Dover Petty Sessions -
"Monday" "Thomas Robert BOURNER of Sheer Hulk Beer-shop, Commercial Quay, was charged with a similar offence (ie to above item, which was a publican on Commercial Quay knowingly permitting notoriously bad characters, ie. prostitutes, to assemble at his house - evidence from statement of young woman witness Sarah Ann Marsh age l7 of Drellingore, Alkham, who in the first charge took a man into the pub for the night, later returning with another man, "conclusive proof that the information would be sustained) "but as the defendant (ie Thos Robt Bourner) was not at home when summons was served, nor had he since returned (in addition to which the licence was not in Court), the case adjourned till Friday and fresh summons obtained.
"Friday": "Thomas Robert Bourner, landlord of the Sheer Hulk was fined 10s. including costs for allowing improper characters to assemble at his house. The Bench cautioned him touching a repetition of the offence, and allusion was made to the fearful responsibilities of the keepers of such houses, where many a young woman that might otherwise be moving in the paths of virtue, were encouraged in the road to infamy and ruin."
