The 16th ult. at Coningsby, James BAKER, shoe-maker, leaving a disconsolate widow, whose husband's remains were interred on the 18th, at Coningsby.-She was not willing, however, to remain long a disconsolate widow: but went on the 19th to be married to one John FOY, an Irishman. The number of persons who assembled to witness the marriage of this happy pair became so disorderly, that the parties could not be joined in holy wedlock; but the clergyman ordering two peace officers to attend the next day, the ceremony was then performed. Some of the rioting multitude, when the new married couple were returning from the church, endeavoured to get a halter round the bride's waist; they pulled the poor woman about in such a manner, that they actually broke one of her arms.

Saturday 07 Nov 1818 (p. 3, col. 2-4) At a Meeting of the Committee of Management for the proposed Canal, held yesterday, J. D. B. DYKES, Esq. and Mr. Thos. HUDSON, were added to the Committee. We feel pleasure in stating that two or three persons have been summoned before the Mayor, for driving Cattle and Sheep through the City on Sunday last,—and, we understand, it is his determination to fine every person so transgressing. We would recommend the Butchers, in particular, to be upon their guard. Among the proofs of the singular mildness of the season, we may mention that the Cuckoo was heard in this neighbourhood last week, and that ripe Strawberries were gathered in a garden a few days ago, which grew in the open air. We are happy to hear that great exertions are making in all parts of the County in the cause of Christianity, and it is with pleasure we learn that Sir Jas. GRAHAM, of Netherby, and the other landed Proprietors of Nichol Forest, have erected at their own expence, a neat and commodious Chapel, which, with a Burial Ground, was lately consecrated by the Bishop of Carlisle. After the consecration, an appropriate Sermon was preached by the Rev. F. GRAHAM, Rector of Arthuret, to a numerous and respectable congregation. Lady Catherine GRAHAM, ever ready to aid the cause of Religion, presented the Chapel with elegant covers for the pulpit, reading desk, and altar table, together with a set of new books. Extraordinary Produce from one Potatoe.—Mary MEIN, of Burgh-by-Sands, planted one whole Potatoe in her garden this season, and when taken up in October last, it produced the astonishing number of 110 Potatoes, and a great many of them very large ones. The Ladies visiting the Female Prisoners in the Gaol, return thanks to those Ladies and Gentlemen who have kindly placed subscriptions and donations at their disposal. It is intended to employ the Prisoners in making up useful articles of clothing, which will be sold at the prime cost of the material, with a moderate charge on the labour, at a stall in the market-place. The Mayor still pursues his most praiseworthy determination of keeping the streets clear of those noisy and mischievous persons who have too long been permitted to infest them on Sunday evenings.—On Saturday night, a party of dissolute young fellows prowled about the streets at a late hour, making the most hideous noises, and from noise they proceeded to more active mischief—they began to break the lamps, and commit other depredations. Two young men, named MUSGRAVE and RICHARDSON, were seized in the act of breaking lamps, were lodged in gaol, and brought before the Mayor, who fined them in the penalties authorised by law. Twelve lamps in all were broken, but the person who apprehended these foolish young men, could only swear to seeing them break three. ACCIDENT.—On Sunday night last, about nine o'clock, Captain John WILEY, of the Nicholas, was found lying on Workington Quay, with his skull fractured in a shocking manner, and he died the next morning. It is supposed that, owing to the darkness of the night, he had fallen over the south parapet wall, near the Harbour-house. The Coroner and a respectable Jury held an inquest over the body the following day, and returned a verdict—accidental death. We are sorry to state, that Mr. William WALLACE, master of the Amity of Maryport, while on the passage from Peel to Maryport, with a cargo of grain, a few days ago, was knocked overboard by the main-boom and drowned. He was a man much and deservedly respected by all who knew him. A Match was run yesterday over Penrith Race Course, for one hundred guineas aside, two heats, between Mr. LAMB's Young Mask, and Mr. M'MINNIES's Billy Pitt, which was won easily by the former. Clerks proclaiming Sales in Church-yards on Sundays (a custom very prevalent in this county) are liable to a penalty of £10—not being licenced or permitted by the laws of the realm so to do. It would operate beneficially if the law were sometimes enforced. On the night of the 26th ult., the dwelling-house of Mr. John ROOK, of Mosser, in the parish of Brigham, in this County, was broken into, and robbed of a number of bank notes of the Kendal and Whitehaven banks, and various other property. A bay pony was also at the same time stolen out of the stable. At the Lancaster Quarter Sessions, on Tuesday week, Thomas POTTER was found guilty of unlawfully having in his possession certain machinery used in the cotton manufactures of this kingdom, with intent to export the same to America. The sentence of the court was, the goods to be forfeited, and POTTER to be imprisoned 12 months in Lancaster castle, fined £200, and to be further imprisoned until the fine be paid.

Saturday 07 Nov 1818 (p. 3, col. 5) SCOTCH NEWS-Nov. 6. Another atrocious murder has been committed in Glasgow. While one murderer is under sentence of death, and another case is under examination before the local authorities, an old woman, in complete dotage, has been cruelly deprived of her life. This woman above 70 years of age, lived in the Tontine Close, and gained a livelihood by keeping lodgers. Friday morning, about one o'clock, her inmates, coming home, were unable to gain admission to the house. After one of her sons had been brought to the spot, the door was forced open, when the poor woman was found, lying with her hands bound with a tape, a lifeless corpse. The son immediately directed the officers of police to a house in King Street, where they took his brother, along with two women, into custody. The woman appeared to have died in consequence of blows inflicted on the back of her head. One of the women in custody is alleged to have in course of Thursday, used threatening language towards the deceased; and, when apprehended, it was discovered that a piece of tape was wanting from her dress, while that part which remained, being a string on the one side of her petticoat, was of similar description, and of exactly the same texture and length as the piece found on the hands of the deceased. Thursday morning, on a further search of the poor woman's house, a hatchet, which is said not to have belonged to her, was discovered. On Wednesday last, Mathew CLYDESDALE or CLYDSDEL, and Simon ROSS, were executed in front of the Jail, Glasgow, pursuant to their sentences at last Circuit Court-CLYDESDALE for the murder of Alex. LOVE (aged 80) collier at Laigh Drumgelloch, New Monkland-ROSS for breaking into the house of John SCOULER, Rutherglen (in company with BOYD, who was sentenced to suffer along with him, but who has been respited during His Majesty's pleasure) and stealing therefrom a variety of women's wearing apparel.-CLYDESDALE seemed to die almost immediately, but ROSS was much convulsed. Their behaviour had been rather irregular since receiving their sentence, which caused them to be put in irons for three weeks past, a thing never done before in the New Jail. On Tuesday night last, CLYDESDALE, having at his request been furnished with a bottle of porter and having taken a part of it, desired that the bottle and the remainder of the porter should be left for him, which was granted; he soon after broke the bottle and lacerated his arms therewith to such a degree that surgical aid was called in; his object being to destroy himself. It had been reported for some days, that he was the murderer, years ago, of Widow DUNCAN, at Woodend, on the Hamilton Road, but he denied all knowledge of it. He was married, and was about 35 years of age. ROSS was aged 20.

On the Friday following, he expressed a fear of the returning malady, and wished to see his children; they were brought to him, he gave each of them a kiss, and very soon after the malady returned and he died the same day in the greatest agony, barking like a dog: his last words to those around him were, "I will worry all of you!"

He retired from business more than 35 years since.-Cheered by the consciousness of a long and well-spent public and private life, he retained all his faculties till the day preceding bis dissolution, when an universal paralysis suddenly, but gently, and without pain, closed his earthly existence.

Saturday 31 Oct 1818 (p. 2, col. 5 – p. 3, col. 1) Sunday Schools.—In order to secure a better attendance at Sunday Schools, and a want of decent clothing being frequently offered by parents as an excuse, a few Ladies of this City have formed themselves into a Society, whose object is to procure old clothes and make them up for poor children. We hear, that each person who contributes either money or clothes, is privileged to recommend children to the notice of the Committee. It is remarkable that a great many persons in this city and neighbourhood, have, within the past ten days, ruptured blood-vessels, and several of the cases have proved fatal. Committed to Carlisle Gaol, on Thursday, Charles WALKER, and Archibald KELLETT, for stealing three horses, the property of Mr. John NOBLE of Penrith. ===================== RIOT AT WHITEHAVEN. Early on Monday morning last, there was a very serious riot at Whitehaven. A considerable quantity of Potatoes had been shipped on board of two vessels; these were attacked by a great number of Colliers, their wives, &c., and a large quantity of potatoes were carried off. On Monday evening, a Gentleman arrived in Carlisle, express, for a detachment of Cavalry, which set off about half past nine at night, and reached Whitehaven a quarter after seven the following morning, having performed a journey of 42 miles in that time, without halting. The following letter from a most respectable source will afford the reader all requisite particulars:— Whitehaven, Thursday Afternoon. "We have had a dreadful riot here: indeed, the inhabitants of this town never witnessed such a formidable one: the following is its 'eventful history.' "Two vessels had been loaded with potatoes, designed for another district, in which that valuable root is neither so plentiful nor so cheap as it fortunately is in Cumberland. But this shipment was looked upon with that jealousy which has been always found to actuate those in the lower walks of life, in regard to articles of subsistence. A kind of plot was organized among the Colliers and others, to seize these potatoes, previous to Sunday evening, when two men went round and warned every one of their comrades in these words—'No work to-morrow,'—at the same time informing them that they were to muster in the morning at two o'clock, and attack the vessels. "They were true to the appointment, and as nearly as can be calculated, helped themselves to about sixty tons. It was eight o'clock before the Magistrates were informed of the business, when they instantly repaired to the scene of action, and Mr. STEEL very boldly went on board one of the vessels himself, to the great dismay of the plunderers. He says, the yell which they set up in the hold, when they saw him looking down upon them, was the most horrid he ever heard. Two men were seized there, but almost immediately rescued, the constables, &c. being assailed with a volley of stones, which, however, did no material injury. Some of the men, it is reported, were armed with pistols; however this may be, it is beyond a doubt, that many had weapons not unlike bayonets, concealed under their coats. "The riot soon wore a most alarming appearance. The colliers on learning that two of their comrades had been seized and put into the Octagon (a building recently erected in the Market-place, for the temporary confinement of nocturnal offenders), went home, armed themselves with their bludgeons, and returned in great force, determined to release the captives, or demolish the building. At this moment, the Staff of the Royal Cumberland Militia arrived from the different posts at which they had previously been stationed, and forming rank entire in front of the building, loaded with ball cartridge; and with a number of Special Constables, who had been sworn in on the occasion, waited for the threatened attack with great firmness. "The rioters halted on seeing the Militia-men loading their musquets, and a parley was entered into with them, but to no good effect, their terms being altogether inadmissible. They therefore resumed their menaces, and told the Gentlemen who went over to expostulate with them (whom they treated with great civility) that they would stand the first fire and immediately close in upon the men before they could possibly reload. If they had made this desperate kind of assault, it is more than probable that much blood would have been spilt, as the Militia would not have been allowed to fire otherwise than in sections. Despite of their menaces, however, which somewhat slackened, the Magistrates marched their prisoners up to the Public Office, followed by the mob, and finding that they had not been stealing potatoes, but only shouting and encouraging others, which was merely a misdemeanor, they were liberated upon bail, and the rioters dispersed. Four other delinquents, however, who had been stealing potatoes, viz. Joseph NULTY, Robert WEIR, Jane NICHOLSON, and Margaret WILSON, were subsequently apprehended and sent off to Carlisle Gaol *. But the greatest offenders are as yet untaken, and I fear have escaped altogether: a reward is offered for the apprehension of one named CONOLLY, who has absconded. Could the two men who warned the others be laid hold of, it would be a more effectual step than any other that could be taken to prevent a recurrence of such an outrage, as their punishment, of course, would be exemplary. Although they must be very well known, no one will acknowledge to have seen them when they called; a degree of ignorance, which their own future safety forces them all to affect; and very few will be found to condemn their prudence, although substantial justice suffers by it. "The women, as usual, bore their full share in these operations. As a proof how very cool some of them were, take the following:—One woman on filling her sack in the hold, found herself unable to lift it out, and she very jocosely asked the Captain to assist her, with which requisition, however, he had not sufficient gallantry to comply. Another woman, very large in the family way, being also unable to get out with her load, had a tackle fastened round her waist, and was hoisted by the boys up to the yard-arm, and kept suspended there for some time, to the no small amusement of the spectators. "A detachment of horse arrived here from Carlisle, on Tuesday morning, after a rapid march, but peace and order had been previously restored without bloodshed. One cannot reflect without horror, how nearly we were involved in a carnage of the worst description. I am told that the Magistrates have made a requisition to the Lord Lieutenant for a troop of horse to be stationed here, and that his Lordship approves of the measures adopted. "The Shippers of the Potatoes will, of course, bring their action against the Captain and owners of the vessel that was robbed, and they, I apprehend, will come upon the Ward, but whether successfully or not, I shall not undertake to prophecy." To this letter we may add, that there is not the least scarcity of Potatoes about Whitehaven to extenuate the outrage: on the contrary, they are remarkably plentiful, and are sold at the moderate price (as things go) of 3½d per hoop. * Where they have been safely lodged. ===================== Three men were much burnt, last week, in a colliery belonging to J. D. B. DYKES, Esq., near Gilcrux, by the explosion of firedamp. The accident happened in an old working, where the men had occasion to go for some props. A man, named WOLFE, has been committed to Durham gaol by the magistrates of Sunderland, on suspicion of being concerned in murdering the servant maid and setting fire to the house of Miss SMITH, (now, Lady PEAT) at Herrington, some years ago. Thomas WYBERGH, Esq. has qualified as a Magistrate for the County of Westmorland. At Kendal Burgh Sessions, Benj. FERGUSON, Wm. ARKWRIGHT and John WADE, were indicted for an affray and an assault upon Mr. TATHAM, Solicitor, when upon duty as one of the patrole.

Saturday 31 Oct 1818 (p. 3, col. 6) SCOTCH NEWS— OCT. 30. >From the Dumfries Courier.—On Friday last, a groom in the service of J. W. PARKINS, Esq. who had been dismissed for disobedience of orders and various other misdemeanors, sprung upon that gentleman while retiring from the turf, and, ere he was aware of the intended attack, struck him violently with a bludgeon, across the arm and hand. As there was none of the police present, and as the villain was backed by a banditti of blackguards like himself, Mr. PARKINS was under the necessity of acting as his own champion, when alighting from his horse, he dealt a few blows with such effect, that the fellow was soon obliged to pray for mercy and retire from the ring, amidst the laughter and hisses of the spectators. Upon returning to town, Mr. PARKINS got the delinquent apprehended, who, after a full examination before the magistrates, has been committed to prison. We are sorry to learn, that the above gentleman was, a few months ago, robbed by a servant, of property to a considerable amount: we hope by his vigilance, and the able assistance offered him by Mr. F. SHORTT, the offender, M'VEY, who has been seen in this neighbourhood, may be again apprehended. A robbery was committed on the night of Friday last, by a pedlar, named ADAMS, and his wife, in the house of Mrs. JONES, innkeeper, High Street, Dumfries, where they had been lodging for some time. The articles stolen consisted of female wearing apparel, bed and table linen, &c. On the morning of Wednesday se'nnight, betwixt six and seven o'clock, as Wm. M'BAIN, clogger of Kirkpatrick, was proceeding to Dumfries, for the purpose of purchasing some leather, he was attacked near the village by two stout-looking fellows, who, after beating him in the most savage manner, while lying on the ground, robbed him of £15, almost all the money the poor man was possessed of in the world.—He was found lying on the road quite insensible, by some people coming to Dumfries, who humanely rendered him every assistance, and carried him home. Mr. BUCHANNAN, of Greenock, author of the "Walks by Clyde," has transmitted to Mr. Walter SCOTT the broach of Rob ROY's wife, the Scottish Amazon. Its circle appears to be of silver, studded with what was once the vogue, bristow.

The OED online doesn't have it either. However, I wonder whether it has something to do with the word "stitch" in one of these meanings: 1. The act of cutting or dividing the earth with the share in ploughing; the (greater or lesser) depth to which the share is driven in making a furrow. Phr. to take stitch, to drive the share into the soil. 2. a. A ridge or balk of land; esp. a strip of ploughed land between two water-furrows; also, a narrow ridge in which potatoes, etc. are grown. Maybe it was a very narrow harrow to just harrow a "stitch" of land?

Saturday 24 Oct 1818 (p. 3, col. 3-4) MARRIAGES. At St. Cuthbert's, on Thursday last, Isaac PEARSON, to Mary CURRANT. At Penrith, on the 18th inst. Mr. James TEASDALE, to Miss Mary SOWERBY. Lately, the Rev. J. THOMPSON, of Patterdale, to Dorothy, second daughter of John MOUNSEY, Esq. of Patterdale Hall, Westmorland. On Monday the 28th ult., Mr. Darby Daniel MacCLEAN, of Newry, a pensioner, to Miss Margaretta S. MACKENNA, of Rathfryland. The bride was to have been married on the same day to another lover, one James LOCKE, and had arrived at an appointed time and place in Newry, where the ceremony was to have been performed. The favoured swain, however, did not appear, and the lady's hostess, in Bridge-street, communicated to her the lamentable tidings, that he was already married, and had gone, she believed, to visit his wife, then a prisoner in Armagh. Margaret wept, sighed deeply, and exclaimed, "Never will I return to Rathfryland unmarried-If I not get a husband I will drown myself, and this shall be the last day of poor Margaretta MACKENNA!" "O (said the hostess) I wish honest Darby Dan. MacCLEAN were here! He also is crossed in love, und talks of death-perhaps he would marry you-'tis better to wed than die." A word to the wise sufficeth. Margaret speeded on the wings of love to Darby's dwelling, whom she found pensively leaning on his arm and ruminating deeply on his misfortune. "Why are you so sad, Darby," quoth Margaret? "My love has jilted and deserted me," replied Darby, with a sigh. "So hath mine," rejoined Margaret with a sob. " "I cannot-I will not survive it," quoth Darby. "I will either be drowned or married to-day," murmured Margaret. The voice was in unison with Darby's feelings-he looked wistfully on the dark, languishing, yet sparkling eyes of the lovelorn maid, and sympathized in her sorrows. Sympathy begets love, and love is gentleman-usher to hymen. The parties therefore determined not to drown but marry. Margaretta, with her intended bridegroom, returned in triumph to her kind and sagacious hostess. Preparations were made for the wedding, and the bride insisted on paying the parson's fees from her own pocket. But Darby would not concede this point.-"That, said he, would be to purchase me, if you buy me, you might sell me-but I'll take care of that." The friendly controversy soon terminated, and the happy pair, now man wife, like other fashionable personages, set off immediately after the ceremony. They mean to spend the honey-moon in connubial joy at Rathfryland. At Dumfries, on Monday last, Mr. GRACIE, writer, to Miss CAMPBELL. Oct. 12, at Plantation-End, parish of Ruthwell, Mr. John DOBIE, to Miss Ann LOWTHER. DEATHS. Suddenly, on Thursday morning, the 22nd of Oct., Mr. John HEBSON, banker, Carlisle, aged 75 years.

Carlisle, 23rd October, 1818. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CUMBERLAND } TO WIT. } AT the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace of our Sovereign Lord the King, holden at PENRITH, in and for the said County, on TUESDAY the 20th Day of OCTOBER, in the 58th Year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord King George the Third, and in the Year of our Lord, 1818, Before the Right Honorable William Earl of Lonsdale, the Honorable Henry Cecil LOWTHER, Francis YATES, Edward HASELL, John DE WHELPDALE, Charles Smalwood FETHERSTONHAUGH, James FORSTER, John HEYSHAM, John CHRISTIAN, Thomas BROUGHAM, George BLAMIRE, Thomas SALKELD, William CALVERT, Samuel LACY, Esquires; Thomas LOWRY, James SATTERTHWAITE, Clerks, Doctors in Divinity; Thomas HARRISON, Richard ARMITSTEAD, Walter FLETCHER, Clerks, and others their fellows, Justices of our said Lord the King, assigned to keep the Peace of our said Lord the King, in the same County; and also to hear and determine divers Felonies, Trespasses, and other Misdemeanors, in the same County committed: WHEREAS, at the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace, for this County, holden at the City of Carlisle, in July last, certain Letters were read, written by Mr. HENRY LUZMORE, late Clerk of the Works, under Mr. R. SMIRKE, employed by the Magistrates in building Courts of Justice and the Bridge over the Eden at Carlisle, addressed to the Rev. Mr. MATTHEWS, Wigton, expressing a desire that the Accounts of the Works, rendered by Mr. SMIRKE, might be put into his hands for examination, and that he had no doubt but that he could point out matters of considerable importance to the County therein; whereupon the Court made the following order, viz.-It is ordered, that the Clerk of the Peace do request Mr. LUZMORE to attend at his Office, upon as early a day as convenient, and that he shall have full access to, in the Office of the Clerk of the Peace, and examine without controul, all Accounts, Bills, and other Papers in any way relating to the Court Houses and Bridge, and report his observations on any charges which may appear to him unjust, unreasonable, or exorbitant; and that the Clerk of the Peace, or his Clerk, do attend on such examination; and that this Court stand adjourned until the 7th August next, for receiving such Report, and examining Mr. LUZMORE thereon. AND WHEREAS, in pursuance and execution of such order, the said H. LUZMORE attended at the Clerk of the Peace's Office, in Carlisle, where he had the whole of the said Accounts laid before him; and after many days' uninterrupted examination thereof, he did, at an adjourned Sessions, held on the 7th Day of August last past, send in to the Magistrates, then assembled, (the said HENRY LUZMORE having left Carlisle,) a Report, wherein he charged Mr. SMIRKE with making improvident bargains, and otherwise not using due economy respecting the Contracts for, and execution of, the Works. AND WHEREAS, at such adjourned Sessions, it was ordered, that the Clerk of the Peace should transmit to Mr. SMIRKE, a Copy of H. LUZMORE'S Report, and require his Answer thereto-which Answer having been received, and the Magistrates having, at the present Sessions, taken the said Report and Answer into consideration, and fully and maturely considered the same, are of opinion that the charges made by the said H. LUZMORE against the Accounts of Mr. SMIRKE, have been most satisfactorily answered. This Court doth therefore order that the Accounts of Mr. SMIRKE, with this County, (the same having been sometime since examined and compared with the vouchers, and found correct by a Committee of Magistrates appointed for that purpose) be finally passed and allowed, and they are hereby passed and allowed accordingly. And it is further ordered, that this Order be inserted in both the Carlisle Newspapers. By the Court, HODGSON.

Saturday 24 Oct 1818 (p. 3, col. 1-3) For some time past, our streets on Sunday nights, have exhibited more the appearance of a fair, than the decorous stillness that ought to distinguish a sabbath evening. A number of disorderly people, especially half-grown lads, have assembled on the pavement, in corners, passages, and steps of doors, to the great annoyance of the peaceable and well-disposed inhabitants going to, and returning from, the respective places of public worship—females have been particularly annoyed, and, not unfrequently, most grossly insulted. On Sunday night last, the Mayor, accompanied by the parish officers and constables, paraded the streets during a great part of the evening, which had the desired effect of preventing this evil. These measures, it would appear, were not very much relished by the gentry who were thus driven from their old haunts; and in the course of the night they exhibited both their revenge and power to do mischief, by pulling up a part of the iron pallisading in front of the Rev. John FAWCETT's house, in Botchergate, and by committing other depredations of a more trifling nature in various parts of the town and neighbourhood. A reward has been offered for the discovery of the offenders, and it is to be hoped that detection will ensue;—at all events, if such practices are continued, those engaged in them will sooner or later certainly meet with the punishment due to their transgressions. On Saturday last, Archibald LITTLE, of Kinberry in Kingwater, in this county, was convicted before the Mayor of Carlisle, in the penalty of 40s. for selling oats in the market, deficient in measure. He exposed for sale eight bags, purporting to contain 8½ bushels,—which were bought by a person from Scotland, who after having them transferred into bags of his own, thought there was a deficiency in the quantity, and immediately had them measured by a standard peck;—his suspicions were confirmed—instead of 8½ bushels, there were only seven and a quarter.—LITTLE paid the penalty of 40s., which was immediately handed over to Mr. RANDLESON, Overseer of the Poor for English Street Quarter, wherein the offence was committed, the statute directing that the whole should be applied in that manner. On Sunday morning last, at 11 o'clock, George NICHOL, of the neighbourhood of Dumfries, drover, was driving a large quantity of sheep through Carlisle, at the time the bells were calling the inhabitants to divine worship. Luckily, the Mayor was passing at the moment: he ordered the constables to take the sheep back out of the City, and, we understand, he has since fined NICHOL for driving them on a Sunday. At the Quarter Sessions for the City of Carlisle, holden on Monday last, in the Town-Hall, before William HODGSON, Esq. Mayor, and a Bench of Aldermen, Mary BROWN, and Jane PARKER, were charged with feloniously stealing a coat, the property of Mr. David DUCKETT, pawnbroker, and both pleaded guilty.—Three Months' Imprisonment. The Grand Jury found a true bill against Dinah LAMONBY for a nuisance. The Michaelmas Quarter Sessions for the County of Cumberland commenced at Penrith on Tuesday last, before Francis YATES, Esq. chairman, and a numerous bench of Magistrates, among whom was the Right Honourable the Lord Lieutenant of the County.—There was not much business of public interest transacted at these Sessions:—Harbottle BURNETT, convicted of petit larceny, was sentenced to seven years' transportation. Margaret BOWMAN, and Catherine BURNS, found guilty of petit larceny, were sentenced each to six months' imprisonment in Carlisle gaol, and to be kept to hard labour.—Margaret DOWLY, alias KING, charged with petit larceny, was acquitted.—No Bill against Mary SHEFFIELD. A remarkably large Potatoe, of the species called Highland Early, was this week dug up in a field belonging to Mr. William LAWSON, of Milton; it measured 19½ inches round one way, and 15½ the other, and weighed 3½lbs. A single stem of potatoe oats was cut in the field of John SLOAN, of Brampton, about a fortnight ago, which contained the amazing number of 304 pickles, or grains. The Cockbridge Hunt, last week, was numerously attended. At the conclusion of the Meeting, Milham HARTLEY, Esq. was chosen Lord Mayor, for the ensuing year, and Major HART, Wm. JAMES, Esq., Henry LUTWIDGE, Esq. and C. H. WYBERGH, Esq. were elected Common Council Men. The New Chapel at Brampton was opened for divine service on Sunday se'nnight. A new Church has recently been erected at Conistone, chiefly by the liberal subscriptions of the gentry residing in the vicinity of the lake. George ATKINSON, of Bollihope, was on Saturday last convicted before the Rev. W. WILSON, rector of Wolsingham, in the mitigated penalty of £5, for having sold three firkins of butter considerably deficient in weight. A young man of the name of NOWHURST put an end to his existence on Sunday se'nnight, at Bentham, in a very shocking manner. Some time ago it is said he had a fever, and since that has been occasionally much depressed in spirits. He requested a neighbour to lend him a gun to shoot a hare upon her seat, which was objected to; however, he obtained a gun as well as powder at another place, upon some trifling pretext. He then went into the fields, and putting the mouth of the gun to his head, fired it with his foot. A young man, named Thomas FREER, of Park House, near Millthorp, was unfortunately killed on Friday the 9th instant, whilst leading a young horse by the head with an intent of training it to draw the cart. He accidentally coming on some new made road, the noise frightened the animal to so great a degree, that it threw him against a gate post, and one of the cart shafts pierced the young man's breast and caused instant death.

Wow! Haven't times changed!! Intriguing reading the quoted laws, too! <<snip>> Saturday 17 Oct 1818 (p. 3, col. 5-6) SCOTLAND. His Majesty's Justices of the Peace on the Scottish Border, fined James M'LACHLAN, servant to Mr. George CHAMLEY, carrier, for travelling with his carts last Sunday evening, on the road betwixt Longtown and Langholm. It is greatly to be wished, that Magistrates in general would strictly enforce the law in regard to due observance of Sunday; for it must be obvious to every person, who considers the matter, that a disregard of this sacred day is one of the first steps towards the commission of the long and encreasing list of crimes that are so disgraceful to our country. * <<end>>

Saturday 17 Oct 1818 (p. 3, col. 5-6) SCOTLAND. His Majesty's Justices of the Peace on the Scottish Border, fined James M'LACHLAN, servant to Mr. George CHAMLEY, carrier, for travelling with his carts last Sunday evening, on the road betwixt Longtown and Langholm. It is greatly to be wished, that Magistrates in general would strictly enforce the law in regard to due observance of Sunday; for it must be obvious to every person, who considers the matter, that a disregard of this sacred day is one of the first steps towards the commission of the long and encreasing list of crimes that are so disgraceful to our country. * * Extract from Statute 7th. William III. Chap. 17.-"All persons shall, on every Lord's Day, apply themselves to the observation of the same, by exercising themselves in piety and true religion, publicly and privately. And no tradesman, artificer, workman, labourer, or other person whatsoever, shall do or exercise any worldly labour, business, or work of their ordinary callings, upon the Lord's day, or any part thereof. And every person, being of the age of fourteen years, or upwards, offending in the premises, shall for every such offence forfeit the sum of five shillings; and no person shall publicly cry, shew forth, or expose to sale, any fruit, herbs, or goods, upon the Lord's day, upon pain that every person so offending shall forfeit the same.-S. 1. No drover, horse courser, waggoner, carrier, butcher, higler, or any of their servants, shall travel, or come into their inn or lodging, upon the Lord's day, upon pain that every such offender shall forfeit twenty shillings.-S. 2. No person shall play or exercise any hurling, commoning, foot-ball playing, cudgels, wrestling, or any other games, pastimes, or sports on the Lord's day; and if any person shall offend therein, and be thereof convicted, as hereinafter directed, every such person shall forfeit twelve-pence, to be immediately paid to such Justice of the Pease [sic], or Officers, before whom such conviction shall be.-S. 3. And if any person offending against this act shall be thereof convicted, before any Justice of the Peace, or chief Officers, where the offence shall be committed, upon their view, or confession of the party, or proof of one witness by oath, the said Justice, or chief Officer, shall give warrant to the Constables or Church Wardens of the parish where such offence shall be committed, to seize the goods cried, shewed forth, or put to sale as aforesaid, and to sell the same; and to levy the other forfeitures by distress and sale of the goods of every such offender, &c.-And in default of distress, or in case of inability of the offender to pay the said forfeitures, the party offending shall be set publicly in the stocks two hours.-S. 4. Abuse of Parents.-On the 25th ult. a person of the name of OLIVER, a journeyman plasterer, was tried at Kirkcudbright, before Sir Alexander GORDON, steward of the stewartry, and a special jury, for the crime of cursing and otherwise threatening, and for using personal violence towards his aged and widowed mother. Several witnesses were examined, whose evidence conclusively established the fact of the prisoner having abused her in the grossest manner, and of his having threatened to deprive her of life; none of the witnesses saw the prisoner strike his mother, but one of them affirmed, that from various circumstances she had no doubt of his having done so. The agent for the prisoner offered to examine evidence relative to his conduct in jail since his apprehension, which, it was contended, would prove that the prisoner was imbecile, and not in the possession of his entire faculties. This evidence was rejected by the steward, on the ground that it had no reference to the period when the outrage was committed, and because the conduct of the prisoner in court, and the pertinence and sagacity of his remarks, shewed that he was perfectly sound in his judgment. The jury were then very ably addressed by Mr. GORDON, procurator-fiscal, on the part of the crown, and by Mr. NAIRNE on the part of the prisoner, and after a short charge from the steward, retired to consider their verdict. After a few minutes consultation, the jury returned a verdict, finding the fact of the prisoner's having cursed and otherwise grossly abused his mother proven, but finding the charge of his having struck her not proven. The prisoner was then addressed by Sir Alexander GORDON in a short but impressive speech, and sentenced to six months imprisonment, and thereafter to be banished the stewartry for the space of seven years. This is the only case of the kind which has been tried in Scotland for many years. The court was throughout very much crowded.
