Ah, so in that case the information about seed drills makes perfect sense! "Stich" is a German word (so presumably the same Anglo-Saxon origin as stitch) meaning either stitch or prick with a thin sharp instrument like a needle. So the stich harrow did the depositing of the seed via some sharp protrusion as well as harrowing afterwards? Certainly a labour saving device. And I always thought Jethro Tull was a rock band... Thanks for the detailed explanation!

To the County of Westmorland at large, and the town of Kendal in particular, he was a friend and a benefactor: he may be truly said to have died full of years and virtues. His highly-respected successor, the Hon. Col. Fulke Greville HOWARD, his son-in-law, is shortly expected at the ancient seat of Levens. On the 17th inst., after a short illness, at Brewood, in the county of Stafford, the Rev. John HUTTON, A. B. * (son of John HUTTON, of Burgh, Esq., in this County), curate of the parish.

Edward MONCKTON. The vicar of the parish, the Rev. B. PROBY, performed the solemn service. * The death of this gentleman was briefly mentioned in our last. We re-announce it for the sake of publishing the above particulars, which are furnished by a Correspondent. Sudden Death of Alderman GOODBEHERE.-On Thursday se'nnight, in London, Mr. Alderman GOODBEHERE. A female servant hearing a noise like a fall, in his room, soon after breakfast, hastened to it, and seeing her master gasping for breath, she ran for Mr. HYDE, the surgeon, who immediately attended. The worthy Alderman so far recovered, that he was able to walk up stairs to his bedroom, where he was cupped. Every thing that skill or attention could do was tried, but a second attack of apoplexy was fatal, and he died about half-past three o'clock in the afternoon.

Saturday 28 Nov 1818 (p. 2, col. 6 - p. 3, col. 1) COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOV. 23.-The King v. BLAYLOCK.-It will be in the recollection of our readers that BLAYLOCK was found guilty at the last Carlisle Assizes of committing a most violent and aggravated assault on three Excise Officers, at the Luckens, in the parish of Stapleton, in this county. The prisoner was this day brought up to receive judgment. He put in a Petition to the Court, which was read: it stated chiefly, that he had been in prison 11 months, and was reduced to great distress; and though found in the place where there was an illegal still, he was entirely innocent of the distillery and the assault on the officers. Mr. TOPPING, for the Crown, stated, that one of the Excise Officers had been disabled for life. The Court, taking the previous confinement into consideration, sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment. As it is intended to apply for an Act, in the next Session of Parliament, for improving this City, a Correspondent suggests, that a clause should be inserted to limit the hours of keeping open Public-houses. In many towns none are permitted to be open after ten o'clock on week days, and eight o'clock on Sundays. There are at present upwards of 100 Ale houses and Gin shops in this City, or nearly one to every ten inhabitants. On Monday night last, the shop of Henry ROGAN, dealer in groceries, &c. on Caldewbrow, was broken open by forcing the door, and robbed of money, tea, flour, and other articles, to a considerable amount. This depredation is supposed to have been committed by some one acquainted with the shop, as the canister of common tea was rejected, and that containing the best, cleared of its contents. Mourning on account of the demise of her Majesty is very general in this City. The pulpits and reading desks of the Churches are clad in black. On Sunday last, a hare was killed in Backhouse's Walk, by a man who threw a stone at it from the top of the West Wall of the City. Another man who saw it fall, ran and picked it up, but the person who threw the stone laid claim to the prize, and a quarrel ensued. This brought the constables to the spot (who were on the look-out, it being church time), and they settled the dispute by bearing off the bone of contention. Poor puss, it seems, had been tempted into the gardens by the vegetables. Thus, like many other animals without prudence, she sacrificed her life at the shrine of luxury! A woman stole a basket of butter in our market on Saturday last: but the property having been recovered, she was not detained. The Earl of Carlisle is said to be dangerously ill. We regret that we have this week to announce the sudden death of Col. BRADDYLL, at Skipton, while on a journey to the South. The particulars will be found in our Obituary. A New Methodist Chapel will be opened at Whitehaven, on Sunday next. John BOLTON, Esq. of Storrs Hall, banks of Windermere, gave an elegant entertainment last week to a large party of gentlemen, friends to the principles which returned to their seats in Parliament the present members for the County of Westmorland. The melancholy account of the death of the Queen reached Workington on Thursday evening se'nnight, whilst the respectable inhabitants of the town were enjoying the recreation of dancing at the Card Assembly. The amusements of the evening were immediately put an end to. A cock, belonging to Mr. James FLEMING, jun. of Town-End, Grasmere, has in three consecutive moultings exhibited a pantomimic succession of different colours: after the first moulting, he became black; after the second, red; and at present, after the third, he is pure white. The bodies of the two brothers (YOUNGHUSBAND), whose suicide at Alnwick, we detailed in our last, were put into coffins and buried in a foot-path within the church-yard of Alnwick. This not being considered a sufficient compliance with the terms of the statute, order was given by the Magistrates to the Churchwardens, that the sentence of the law should be strictly carried into execution. The bodies were accordingly taken up the next day, and buried in a highway, not far from the spot where they committed the fatal act. By the verdict of felo de se, the whole of their property, which is considerable, is forfeited to the Crown. John, the eldest, was 70 years of age, and unmarried; Lancelot was 65 years old, and has left a widow and daughter to bewail his dreadful end. On Saturday night se'nnight, the house of Mr. JOHNSON, of Lower Stock-bridge, near Bentham, Westmorland, was broke into and robbed of a variety of articles. The robbers had stopped in the house a considerable time, having ate provisions and drank a quantity of rum. They had stolen a loaded gun, and left razors open. It is supposed that they intended to murder Mr. JOHNSON if he had disturbed them. Suspicion falling on two lodgers at John WALLER's, in that neighbourhood, a search-warrant was obtained, and WALLER was so intimidated that he has confessed being an accomplice, and is now a prisoner in Kirkby Lonsdale. He has confessed many other robberies. Some weaving shops were broken into on Monday evening, and linen webs stolen, and the two men were gone to dispose of the articles. Constables are in full pursuit. They had twice attempted Mr. JOHNSON's house before. On the 13th instant, the infant daughter of Mr. POSTLETHWAITE, butcher, of Kirkby, near Ulverston, met with a premature and lamentable end, by falling into a bason of boiling water, during the momentary absence of her parents: She lingered two days in great agony, and then expired.

Saturday 28 Nov 1818 (p. 3, col. 4) SCOTCH NEWS-Nov. 27. Accident.-On Wednesday the 18th inst. the scooner Neptune, of Annan, John ROME, master, lay in rather an aukward [sic] situation on the bank immediately in front of Mr. NELSON's house at Port Annan; her bow being very low, and towards the river, and her stern resting on almost the top of the bank: while in this situation, the hatches were carelessly left open, and there being no person on board, and the vessel full laden with a cargo of barley for Liverpool, was surrounded by the tide, but before it rose a sufficient height to enable her to float, her fore-quarters were completely immerged: and the consequence was, that she instantly filled with water to the almost entire destruction of her valuable cargo, unless for Malting purposes. The Typhus Fever has lately made its appearance in Annan and neighbourhood, and has been fatal in two or three instances at Bridekirk village. The Magistrates of that place have laudably recommended and enforced the removal of every species of dung, or other filth, from the bye lanes and back streets, which it is ardently hoped will arrest its progress.

Saturday 21 Nov 1818 (p. 3, col. 1-3) On the receipt of the news of Her Majesty's death in this City, on Thursday afternoon, the great bell of the Cathedral was tolled during the space of an hour; and the flag at the Castle was immediately hoisted half-stall high, in which position it still continues. It is now observed that the beggars in this City begin to infest people's doors more and more every week. We hope that the inhabitants have not already forgotten the Vagrant Office, where, if they were invariably sent, their claims would be investigated, and their wants, if real, would be relieved. There is no cruelty in this-it is a public duty. It is remarked, also, that since the institution of the Vagrant Office, children are more numerously sent about, because, we presume, those who send them are conscious that they themselves could not stand the test of an examination.-We speak here of regularly-trained and sturdy beggars, who make a trade of tricks and falsehoods. There are many weak and aged residents in the City and neighbourhood, well-known to housekeepers, who deservedly meet with occasional aid, and who are known to want it. We hope this kindness will not be withdrawn;-for such the Vagrant Office was not instituted. Lister ELLIS, Esq. of Croft Head, has this year made an experiment of dibbling wheat. Independently of a reasonable expectation of a more favourable crop, and the regularity of the work, there is a great saving, we understand, both in seed, and in the labour of cutting. The field has now a most beautiful appearance: and we hope that at the end of the year, we shall be enabled to lay before the public the results of the experiment. The agricultural and commercial enterprise of the County of Cumberland, at the present moment, is highly honourable to it. It's reward goes with it. Penrith Savings Bank.-This institution had, in its commencement in August last, to struggle with misconception and much misrepresentation, but the experience of its usefulness has triumphed over all opposition, and silenced every whisper to its prejudice; insomuch that since the opening of the Bank to the present day, (a period of only three months), there have been deposited sums amounting to eight hundred and fifty-three pounds. A plan is now in agitation among the principal tradesmen in Penrith, the object of which is to light the town and the shops of such as choose to become proprietors or subscribers, with Gas, on the same scale as at Liverpool. SHERIFFS.-The following gentlemen have been nominated for Sheriffs for 1819:- Cumberland.-Thomas SALKELD, of Carlisle, Esq.; W. LAWSON, of Brayton House, Esq.; J. MARSHALL, of Hallstead, Esq. Northumberland.-W. ORD, of Nunnery Kirk, Esq.; R. W. GRAY, of Backworth House, Esq.; W. CLARKE, of Bentworth House, Esq. Yorkshire.-W. WRIGHTSON, of Cusworth, Esq.; H. VANSITTART, of Kirk Leatham, Esq.; J. FULLERTON, of Thryberg, Esq. Cheshire.-J. S. BARRY, of Marbury, Esq.; W. FOX, of Lymm, Esq.; J. F. FRANCE, of Bostock, Esq. The following curious production is the literal copy of an original letter, addressed by a pauper to the Whitehaven Magistrates during the last month:- "To the Magstrats of Wthoven. "This is to Sirtfi that Jain RUSALL is Linen verey ill she has had a Mis Carig and Henre JAXENN is the farther and the instegashin of Jain RUESELLs Mis Carig by ill uisig on friday Nieght betwixt the owr of Nin and ten in the night. Jain RUSALL has No Sorport and is Ling in a stat of Starvin For want of evvre nessere She beggs Justic and for your Prosperity she will ever Pray.-Peters Court Malboray Stret No 2." In consequence of frequent disputes arising between masters and servants relative to the terms on which they were hired, and the difficulty of adjusting such differences, a Magistrate strongly recommends, that farmers at hirings should reduce the terms to writing; and sign in the presence of a respectable witness, or at least, that, if the agreement is verbal, they should conclude it in the presence of a respectable witness, who may be called upon in case of future misunderstanding. An occurrence of a very melancholy nature took place at the village of Crosby-Ravensworth, near Appleby, on the evening of Thursday the 5th of November, which has deprived an affectionate wife of a loving husband, and several small children of an indulgent father. A person of the name of Michael WILLAN, a husbandman, resident in the neighbourhood of Crosby-Ravensworth, was, with many others, at a public house in that village on the above evening, and being for some time extremely troublesome to the rest of the company, the landlord insisted upon his being put out of the house; and, with the assistance of Mr. John HEWERTSON, of Crosby-hall, was in the act of doing so, when WILLAN struck HEWERTSON a violent blow behind the ear, which brought him to the ground, to all appearance a lifeless corpse: he revived a little on being taken into the open air, and was immediately carried to his own house which was not far distant, where in a few hours afterwards he expired! On examination it appeared that a blood-vessel had been burst in the head which was the immediate cause of his death. A Coroner's Inquest was held the following day before R. S. STEPHENSON, Esq. Coroner, and a respectable Jury, when a verdict of Manslaughter was returned against WILLAN. The Friends, DAWSON, of Workington, bound from Liverpool to St. Andrew's, in America, was proceeding through the North Channel on the 14th ult. when a heavy gale of wind came on from the S.S.W. The next day, at 5 p.m. in lat. 57. long. 16. 30. a heavy sea struck the vessel, which carried away the fore-yard and shifted the ballast. All hands were called, and had cut away the main-topmast, in hopes of bringing the vessel to wear, when another tremendous sea struck her, which swept away Captain DAWSON, together with the foremast, the boats, and the bulwark fore and aft. It was utterly impossible to render any assistance to the unfortunate Captain. The mate and crew, with long and great labour, succeeded in getting the ballast trimmed, and the vessel so far righted as to enable them to reach Stromness on the 30th. The extraordinary mildness of the weather, considering the season, still continues. The fields in this neighbourhood are dressed in green as though spring were advancing; flowers are everywhere in bloom, and almost every garden contains some instance of vegetation out of season. A great number of examples of this kind have been transmitted to us, which we cannot find room to insert: we give place below to a few of the most remarkable. The Thermometer on Thursday was at 59. A perfect ear of Barley was brought to our Office last evening, which grew in an Inclosure on Warnell Fell (where there is a considerable quantity), belonging to Mrs. OLIVER, of Park-Head. It is the produce of grain dropped at the time of harvest. Such is the mildness of the season, that violets were gathered on Monday last at Cumwhitton. Mr. John CORLETT, searcher and surveyor of the Customs at Derbyhaven, Isle of Man, was drowned on the 1st inst. but his body was not found till the 12th. On Tuesday se'nnight, Messrs. John and Lancelot YOUNGHUSBAND, two brothers, well advanced in years, and the respectable occupants of Heckley and High House Farms, on the Alnwick Abbey Estate, adjacent to Alnwick, were both found dead, under the following shocking circumstances:-About 9 o'clock in the morning, one of them entered a field on the farm in which the other was superintending a ploughman, and waving his hand, beckoned him to follow. The latter immediately left the ploughman, and the brothers went off together into the fields remote from observation: at noon some surprise was excited among the domestics that they had not returned to dinner, but it was concluded some incident might have detained them. Dusk approaching, the servants set out in quest of them. In a retired part of the farm they discovered one of the brothers lying on his back in a ditch, with his throat cut, and a razor near him; and the other at a little distance in the same ditch, but upon his knees, leaning with his breast upon the bank, with his throat also cut, and another razor beside him. Both bodies were cold and inanimate, and there was no appearance of struggle or robbery. The watch of one was lying on the ground, as if the fatal moment had been minuted.-Such evidence of premeditation came out on the Coroner's inquest, as to induce the Jury to return a verdict of Felo de se.

When I worked at Massey Harris in Stretford Lancs in 1949, part of my job was to install flexible aluminum tubes in every seed drill, the number used depended on the width of the drill . It directed the seed along with a mixture of dry fertilizer in to the bottom of the valley created by the normal Harrow. After doing this, the soil covered the seed/fertil1zer which helped the seed germinate. Without this procedure, the valley would soon carry any heavy rainfall and wash out the two products. Hope this helps.

Saturday 21 Nov 1818 (p. 3, col. 4-5) SCOTCH NEWS-Nov. 20. >From the Dumfries Courier.-We are happy to hear that M'VEY, who, about nine months ago, robbed his master, J. W. PARKINS, Esq. of property to a very considerable amount, has been apprehended in Ireland, and is probably now in his way to a London prison. After trusting too long to the vigilance of the police, Mr. PARKINS, who appears to be of very active habits himself, (altho' but little inclined to give the members of that establishment credit for the same good quality), printed, while in this town, handbills describing the person of M'VEY, which having been extensively circulated and a handsome reward offered, soon led to the apprehension of the prisoner. Among others, a few of these bills were sent to the postmaster of Banbury, who now claims the reward; and it has been suggested to us, that if there were more intimate connection between the police and post-office establishments, much good would accrue to the public service. We hear from Annan, that Mr. William ELLIOT, tidewater, on the evening of Wednesday se'nniqht, seized a boat containing between 50 and 60 gallons of whisky, which was destined for a Cumberland market. The seizure was made not far from Seafield, of which district Mr. ELLIOT is officer. Sunday forenoon, a student of medicine, residing in Simpson's-court, Potter-row, Edinburgh, put a period to his existence by cutting his throat. A short time prior to the perpetration of the rash act, he retired to a private apartment, apparently in his usual state of mind, under the pretext of shaving himself.

Saturday 14 Nov 1818 (p. 3, col. 3) SCOTCH NEWS-Nov. 13. On Saturday last, the 7th curt. the Annandale Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Colonel M'MURDO and Captain GRIERSON, left Annan, where they had been quartered for a few days on permanent duty. They were inspected the preceding day, and, notwithstanding an incessant and very heavy rain, the troop mustered nearly its full complement of stout good-looking young gentlemen, excellently mounted, and in complete regimentals, and performed a number of evolutions in a manner highly creditable to both officers and men, and such as drew from their commanding officer many loud and repeated commendations. In the evening, the troop sat down to an excellent dinner in the Queensberry Arms Inn, which was served up in Bailie BENSON's usual most splendid stile, displaying every delicacy of the season, and accompanied with a copious libation of that gentleman's superior and far-famed farintosh. Exactly at nine o'clock (the hour previously fixed upon) the music struck up a merry glee, and the party were summoned to the ball-room, where a large and brilliant assemblage of beauty and fashion greeted their arrival; dancing was immediately commenced, and was kept up with great spirit till a very late hour, when the company broke up, all infinitely delighted with the amusements of the evening. On Thursday, Mr. AFFLECK, in company with several others while at work in a shed, in the Old Flesh-market, Dumfries, discovered beneath the stones, a pocket-book, containing bank checks, bills, and various other documents to a considerable amount. This pocket-book proves to be the property of Mr. LAWRIE, a native of Galloway, who was robbed of the same during the fair-week, and who had in vain endeavoured to discover the thieves. On Monday last, a basket of ripe strawberries were served up, with the dessert, at the table of Sir John HERON MAXWELL, which grew in the garden of Kirouchtrie, and in the open air, without being forced in any manner whatever. On the 4th inst. the Associate Congregation of Stockbridge, (Berwickshire) gave a harmonious call to Mr. David INGLIS, preacher, to be their pastor. The Rev. Robert MACLAURIN, Coldingham, preached and presided. The son of Widow COCHRANE, who was apprehended at Glasgow, along with two women, as soon as it was discovered that she had been murdered, was liberated on Friday, as what has transpired on the precognition warranted his liberation.

At Wigton, on Tuesday the 3rd instant, Miss Eleanor KNUBLEY, daughter of the late Edward KNUBLEY, Esq. of Fingland Rigg.

At Moss-side, parish of Dumfries, on the 7th inst. John FERGUSON, aged 73. He was a man of the most eccentric character, but those who knew him best, loved him most. He was a most affectionate husband, a loving father, and a kind and disinterested friend. At Dumfries, on the 9th inst. Mr. Robert THOMPSON, innkeeper, aged 63. On Saturday the 7th inst., Robert Hathorn STEWART, Esq. of Physgill, Galloway. At Edinburgh, on the 31st ult., Lieut. John BLACKBURN, of the Dumfriesshire militia. On the 24th ult. at Hutton-long-Villiers, Edward SMITH, aged 100 years. Lately, at Newton Lodge, Mary, daughter of William TAYLOR, Esq. At Lockerbie, on Saturday last, John JOHNSTONE, Esq., surgeon there, and late of the Royal Navy. At Kirkcudbright, on the 3d inst. Mr. Wm. M'WHINNIE merchant, in the 49th year of his age. Lately, at Heatherwick, Northumberland, Mrs. POTTS, mother-in-law of Mr. Thomas CLARK, aged 103¾ years. An exemplary Servant.—On 28th ult. at her master's house (Mr. DAVIS), in Bath, Elizbeth RIDLER, aged 53, after a long illness, which she bore with becoming patience; having lived in the same family 22 years; during which time she did the entire work of the house, not excepting washing and brewing. In this exemplary servant were united industry, economy, and strict probity, in which valuable qualities she was exceeded by none. She was not only careful of her master's property, but realised herself the sum of £100 in the course of about 20 years, although her wages on average did not exceed 9 guineas per annum. Neatness, cleanliness, and frugality in her dress, were striking features in this faithful servant's character; and she invariably, by her conduct, held out this language to others, Go, and do likewise.

Saturday 14 Nov 1818 (p. 2, col. 5 - p. 3, col. 1) At Carlisle Martinmas Hiring day, on Saturday last, a vast number of servants of both sexes attended who were in want of places. The wages obtained for the Winter half year were not, of course, as high as those of the half year preceding. A great number were hired. Prime servants were in request. Committed to Carlisle Gaol, by William HODGSON, Esq., Mayor, Mary M'WILLIAMS, charged with stealing a piece of printed calico from the shop of Mr. HEWITT, linen draper, of this City. The woman's husband is a very honest respectable man, and the conduct of his wife has plunged him into great affliction. The following convicts were sent off from Carlisle gaol on Wednesday morning, for the purpose of being transported beyond the seas:-John ROSS, William HEYLIN, H. BURNES, and H. MACNAMARA. Highway Robbery.-An itinerant dealer in hardware, who was travelling with a horse and cart, from Brampton hiring to Haltwhistle, on Wednesday night last, was attacked by two or three Footpads, about a mile from Brampton, who knocked him down, beat him dreadfully, and plundered him of what money he had: they were about to rifle his cart, when some person who heard his cries came up, and they made off. He was conveyed to Brampton Workhouse, where he remains in a dangerous state. Brampton Hiring on Wednesday last was very numerously attended. Servants wages as was expected, were very low. There is a Gooseberry tree in the Garden of John THOMPSON, of Kirkland near Wigton, which has a second crop of fruit. John WREN and William CLEMENTSON, mentioned in a former paper, as having been burned at Gilcrux Colliery, have since died, each leaving small families. A few evenings ago, about eight o'clock, Mr. C. CHAMLEY, was knocked off his horse between Hutton and Millthorp, by a party of footpads, who robbed him of a pocket book containing notes to the amount of 10gs.: the villains ill-used him so much, that they left him lying on the ground insensible. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOV. 9.-Doe ex dem. LITTLEDALE v. SMEDDLE.-This cause came before a jury at the last Assizes for the County of Cumberland.-Mr. RICHARDSON now moved for a rule to shew cause why a new trial should not be granted. The question turned on the construction to be put on the word heirs, in a marriage-settlement under the statute of uses. The settlement ran thus:- "To trustees and their heirs to the use of LITTLEDALE until his marriage with Mary WADHURST; and from and after the marriage, to the use of LITTLEDALE for life; remainder to his wife Mary for life; remainder to the first son of LITTLEDALE, on the body of Mary to be begotten, and the heirs of such first son: remainder in like manner to the 2d, 3d, 4th, and all other sons: and for default of such issue, in trust for the daughter and daughters, on the said Mary begotten, and their heirs as tenants in common, and not as joint tenants: and for want of such issue to the right heirs of the survivor of LITTLEDALE and Mary."-Mr. RICHARDSON contended that the children took only an estate tail; because after the estate of each of them another estate was limited, and the intention of the settler as to those subsequent estates would have been defeated, if any of the first takers were held to take an estate in fee. He contended also, that settlements under the statute of uses were favoured in the same manner as wills, and construed according to the intention of the parties; and for this as well as the other point, he quoted LEIGH v. BRACE, Carthew, 343. He considered that cross remainders would be implied as between the daughters.-Mr. Justice HOLROYD referred to Doe v. WERSLEY, 1 East, 416, to show that cross remainders could not be implied between more than two; and if so, the daughters could not, consistently with the settler's intention, have taken estates tail.-Chief Justice ABBOTT:-"The word heirs in a deed, according to interpretation of law, means heirs general. But supposing a different intention were expressed in one part of a deed, and the law could give effect to that intention, it does not follow, though the law will give effect to the intention in one part, where it is clear and manifest, that effect will be given to it in another, where it is not clear. No proof has been brought in the present instance to show that the word heirs, as applied to the daughters who took estates in common, was meant in a limited sense, whatever might have been the case with respect to the sons." The rest of the Court concurring, the rule was refused.
