Saturday 24 May 1845 (p. 3, col. 1-2) INQUESTS. ----- (Before Mr. CARRICK, Coroner.) DEATH FROM INTOXICATION.-At Plumbland, on Monday last, on the body of Mr. Thomas WILSON, aged forty-eight years. The deceased was most respectably connected in Liverpool. Owing to his intemperate habits deceaseds friends had been under the necessity of sending him into the country to reside where his conduct would not be so much exposed, and where temptation was less. He had lived in the village of Plumbland and neighbourhood for nine years past. On Friday afternoon he paid a visit to Bothel where he drank some spirits with a neighbour who happened also to be there; deceased left shortly afterwards, and about five o'clock was seen a little intoxicated; about seven he was found about a mile from Bothel, on the side of the road leading from Plumbland, lying in the ditch quite dead; he was seen shortly before by some school boys on their return home, he was then slightly stupified but not dead: the children did not apprehend that he was dangerously ill and, therefore failed to give any warning. The jury returned a verdict of "Apoplexy, induced by excessive drinking.' At the termination of the proceedings Mr. CARRICK stated in court that he wished to correct an erroneous impression which appeared to have gone abroad, that the proposed division of the County into two districts under the late act of Parliament had been completed. Now this was not the fact, all that had yet been done was the passing of a resolution by the magistrates at the Sessions recommending such Division to her Majesty's Council, but that until a petition had been presented and adopted, the districts remained as heretofore and that each coroner would preside over his own district in like manner as he had before done, and that if any change did take place due notice would be given. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY, AT WREAY.-On Tuesday, at Little Barrock, in the parish of Hesket, on the body of John GLAISTER, aged 42 years. The unfortunate man was a labourer on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, under Mr. Michael COLLIN, a sub-contractor on the line. On the above-named day he was engaged in a deep cutting at Wreay; a large quantity of soil had been let down from the breast, and the men having satisfied themselves that there was no danger of any more falling, were proceeding to load the waggons when another part of the earth came away and fell upon deceased, covering the lower part of his body and forcing his head against one of the waggons, whereby he received a severe fracture, which produced instantaneous death. When extricated it was found that one of his legs was also broken. Verdict, accidental death. (Before Mr. LEE, Deputy Coroner.) FATAL ACCIDENT BY THE DISCHARGE OF A GUN.-On the 19th instant, at Kingfield Farm, Nichol Forest, on the body of Jane HOGG, aged 16 years, a servant girl there, who on the 17th instant was killed by the accidental discharge of a gun, which had on the previous day been negligently placed by a servant in the same house, upon a chest of drawers standing in the kitchen. A gun unloaded was also lying upon the drawers. At the time of the accident John POTTS, a boy aged 16 years, and deceased were the only parties in the house. The boy was passing the drawers, and deceased was in the act of turning from a cupboard placed at the end of the drawers, in which direction the muzzles of the guns were pointed, when the gun by some means was forced off, and the principal part of the contents was lodged in the left side of the deceased, who uttered an exclamation and instantly died. It did not appear clear whether deceased or the boy had caused the discharge. It is, however, supposed that the locks of the guns had become entangled, and that the boy in passing had touched the stocks, or the girl in turning from the cupboard had come against the muzzles, and thereby caused the accident. It was evident that the gun had been discharged whilst it was lying upon the drawers, for the marks of shot were seen on the opposite wall in a line with the top of the drawers. Verdict-"Accidental death," with a deodand of 1s. upon the gun. SUDDEN DEATH.-On the 20th instant, at Botcherby Mill, on the body of David NOBLE, aged 77, who resided with his daughter, an innkeeper, in Carlisle. On the previous day, about one o'clock, he left home in his usual health to go to Botcherby Mill to see a daughter who resides there, and proceeded by a foot path along the side of the Eden. Not returning in the evening, his friends became alarmed, and diligent search was made for him, but he was not found until eleven o'clock the next day, when he was discovered lying upon his back in the corner of a field near Botcherby Mill, about sixty yards from the foot path, quite dead. There were no marks of violence upon the body, nor any marks upon the ground which indicated the least struggle by deceased. Verdict-"Found dead."

Saturday 24 May 1845 (p. 2, col. 8) ACCIDENT.-An accident that might have been attended with very fatal consequences happened at Mr. KIRKHAUGH's limestone quarries, on Parsonby-brow, a week or two ago. An individual of the name of SMITH having fixed a blast waited impatiently for its explosion. Thinking that it was not going to take effect, with great temerity he went to examine the cause; just as he was stooping down the blast exploded and cut him severely about the head, and he was taken up for dead. Though dreadfully cut about the face, and his eyes almost blown out, his wounds did not prove mortal, and he is now convalescent under the treatment of Dr. MITCHELL, of Bothel. ROYAL SCOTS GREYS.-The detachment of this distinguished regiment, at present stationed here, had a field-day on the green on Monday last, during which Lieutenant CARRUTHERS had nearly met with a fatal accident by his charger rearing and falling upon him. Serjeant MILLS, perceiving the accident, threw himself from his horse, and seizing the animal by the reins extricated the officer (whose foot was entangled in the stirrup) from his very perilous situation.-The Serjeant, we understand, is the same individual who, on Saturday last, at considerable personal risk, rescued a boy about 14 years of age, who had been knocked down by a vehicle in Buchanan-street.-Glasgow Citizen.-[Serjeant MILLS, is son of Mr. N. MILLS, Superintendent of Excise, of this city.]

EAST WARD SANITARY AUTHORITY......PART II The Chairman said it was to their own interest as occupiers, and also in accordance with their duty to their constituents, to endeavour to keep down the rates as much as possible, when it could be done without sacrifice of efficiency or danger to the public health. In many instances, however, in Kirkbythore there were numerous properties not connected with any sewer; and since last meeting he had taken the trouble to go and examine some of these places, in order to satisfy himself as to their state by personal inspection. He named one instance in which he found a pump in a filthy state. He gave the handle one or two strokes, and he did not think that even the strongest man in the Board could for five minutes have withstood the stench which was emitted from that pump nozzle. He mentioned several other places, which, he said, he found in even a much worst state, than had been represented by the inspector. MR. CROSBY said in his opinion the high sewer was no more needed than drainage to the highest house upon Stainmore. The Chairman called attention to the dirty state of a well at the upper part of the village. MR. CROSBY said that arose from dead cats and dogs being thrown into it. It should be opened out, thoroughly cleaned, and drained. MR. ATKINSON: If a pump were put in and the place properly enclosed, I have no doubt the water would be as sweet and pure as any in the neighbourhood. After a remark by MR. ROBINSON, MR. ATKINSON said he had much pleasure in seconding the resolution moved by MR. CROSBY; for he considered it would be very unjust if the Board were to put the ratepayers to a considerable expense for sewerage, when a system of drainage would answer every purpose that was required. If any nuisance arose from imperfect private sewers, the Board had authority to give notice for its immediate removal; and if the party refused or neglected to do so, then let him be at once summoned before the magistrates. The ratepayers of Kirkbythore did not object to making the village as possible; on the contrary, they were quite willing to put in common drains. They, however, protested against an expenditure of £300 for the construction of a sewer, which would entail a further outlay for a plentiful supply of water for the purposes of flushing. MR. ROBINSON thought the Board would be adopting a strong measure if they rescinded the resolution already upon the books before anything had been done to carry out the recommendations of the Medical Officer of Health and the report of the Government Inspector. MR. DIXON (the inspector) said since last meeting, DR. PAGE had again visited Kirkbythore and carefully inspected the middle part of the village, and he insisted upon that most important part of the sewerage being carried out. The Chairman: I bet to propose that the sewerage be carried out forthwith. MR. JAMESON seconded the amendment. A long conversation of an explanatory nature here ensued, in the course of which MR. ROBINSON enquired how it was proposed to get the work done by means of drains. MR. ATKINSON: Out of the highway rates. The Clerk: Then I may as well tell you at once that you cannot legally do so. Questions have recently been frequently answered in the Justice of the Peace to the effect that the highway rates cannot be applied for any such purpose. MR. ROBINSON, at the close of the discussion moved another amendment, to the effect that the clerk be directed to send the resolution and the petition of the inhabitants of Kirkbythore to the Local Government Board, and ask them to sanction a system of common drainage by the ratepayers, to be carried out by the Sanitary Authority. MR. SANDERSON seconded the amendment, which was put to the meeting and carried by eight to two. MR. ATKINSON: Well, the amendment can do no harm. MR. ROBINSON: Now, my advice to you is, commence vigorously on Monday morning with the drainage, and show that you are willing to do something. This concluded the business, and the Board separated. ______________________________________________ barb, ontario, canada.

EAST WARD SANITARY AUTHORITY........PART 1 A meeting of the members of the East Ward Sanitary Authority was held in the Board of Guardians’ room, Shire Hall, Appleby, on Saturday afternoon. MR. H. SAYER, of close House, was called upon to preside, and the following gentlemen were present: MR. F. PARKER, Acorn Bank; MR. J. LANCASTER, Skygarth; MR. J. DARGNE, Bow Hall; MR. ROBINSON, Milburn; MR. JAMESON, Bongate; MR. SANDERSON, Appleby; MR. ATKINSON, Kirkbythore; MR. BURN, Newbiggin; MR. CROSBY, Breeks Hall; MR. M. ROBINSON, Hilton; MR. J. WHITEHAD (clerk), and MR. DIXON (sanitary inspector). THE SEWERAGE OF KIRKBYTHORE. The Medical Officer of Health having reported upon the imperfect sanitary conditions existing at Kirkbythore, it was resolved, at a meeting held some time ago, that a perfect and comprehensive system of drainage should be carried out, under plans sanctioned by the Local Government Board. In accordance with this resolution, the sewerage in the lower part of the village was vigorously commenced with, and in a short time completed, at a cost, we believe, of something like £130 or £140. The gentleman who at that time represented the parish at the Sanitary Board was a strenuous advocate for having the sewerage carried out in it completeness; but to this a strong opposition was organised in the parish, on account of the expense likely to be entailed by laying down sewers in the middle and upper part of the village. At the last election of a representative of the parish, after a strenuous and determined struggle, the ratepayers managed to throw overboard the gentleman who had hitherto watched their interests at the Board, and elected a representative whose opinions and feelings assimilated more closely with their own. The question of continuing the sewerage system in the upper and middle parts of the village was shortly after again brought under the notice of the Board; and the opponents of the scheme were backed up by a petition to the Sanitary Authority, signed by several of the ratepayers, the purport of which was that in their opinion to extend the sewerage to the other two branches of the village was quite unnecessary; and that any deficiency in the present drains could be better met by common drainage; it being, as they stated, a well-known fact that sewers without a good supply of water to flush them became a nuisance instead of a benefit. See, therefore, that a supply of water could not be got except at a very great cost, the petitioners prayed that the Sanitary Authority would take such steps as might stop the further extension of the sewerage in the village. At the last meeting of the Sanitary Authority, MR. CROSBY gave notice that he would move a resolution that the prayers of the petitioners be complied with. In doing so to-day, he said he thought that putting in proper drains to carry off the refuse matter was the right plan to pursue; and in his opinion there was no better deodoriser than soil when mixed with excrement; for not only did it conduce to ensure a healthy condition in villages, but produced an admirable manure for garden and other purposes; thus reducing manure bills, and utilising that which otherwise would be a nuisance. .............................to be continued.................... ______________________________________ barb, ontario, canada

Saturday 26 Apr 1845 (p. 3, col. 3) INQUESTS. ----- (Before Mr. LEE, Deputy Coroner.) On the 19th instant, at the Police Office, Carlisle, on the body of a new-born female child, found on the previous day lying outside of the Abbey Gates, in Abbey Street, wrapped in a dark coloured shawl. The body was dressed in a white dimity bed gown and cap, the materials of which were good. The clothes were strongly perfumed with lavender water. On examination it was found that it was a seven months child, and had been still-born. Verdict accordingly. On Monday, the 22nd instant, at the Bird-in-Hand Public House, Castle Street, Carlisle, on the body of Jane LOCKIE, aged 50, wife of the landlord of that inn, who was found dead in bed that morning. It appeared that deceased had for many years been addicted to excessive drinking. On Sunday last she had drunk to great excess. She had been in a neighbour's house nearly naked and much intoxicated. Her husband, owing to his dissatisfaction with her, left the house early on Monday morning, and did not return until late that night. The house was shut up during the day, and deceased was the only person in it; she having free access to the spirit casks. In the course of the day, she was seen and spoken to by some of the neighbours, one of whom, at her request procured her some ginger beer. She did not then make any complaint. Several witnesses were examined on the inquest, all of whom spoke of her husband's affection for deceased when she was sober, and of his great forbearance when she was intoxicated. A medical gentleman was examined, whose opinion was that deceased had died of apoplexy, caused by excessive drinking. The jury returned a verdict to that effect. On the same day at Wreay, on the body of Michael Mc.GUNN, agee [sic] 35, a labourer on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway. On the morning of that day, whilst the deceased was engaged at his work, a large quantity of earth fell down upon him, by which he was immediately killed. Verdict-"Accidental Death." On the 24th instant, at Brampton, on the body of John GRAHAM, aged seventy-three, who suddenly dropped down dead the preceding day in his own house. Verdict-"Apoplexy." (Before Mr. BRAGG, Coroner.) An inquest was held on Tuesday week, on view of the body of Mr. Joseph HODGSON, stone-mason, whose death was occasioned by a fall whilst at work at Harrington, a few days ago, the particulars whereof are already known to our readers. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death." (Before Mr. THOMPSON, Coroner for Westmoreland.) On Friday, the 18th instant, at the Queen's Head Inn, Askham, on the body of Thomas MONKHOUSE, aged 31 years, a labourer on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, near Clifton. Deceased had been engaged along with others in driving a gullet, about ten or twelve feet deep, with two sets of waggons, and whilst wheeling some rubbish along a plank placed across the gullet, his barrow run off the side of the plank and fell to the ground; deceased also tumbled off and fell with his head against a waggon, which was passing underneath at the time, and subsequently on to the rail upon which the wheels run. The injuries that he received by the fall were of such a nature as to cause death. Deceased was a native of Plumpton, in this county (Cumberland). Verdict-"Accidental death." At the Crown and Thistle Inn, Clifton, on the body of John SYKES, also a railway labourer, who met with his death under the following circumstances. He was employed driving the waggons between the places where they are loaded and emptied, and it appears had negligently attached the trace by which the horse drew to the wrong side of the waggon, and when he had approached within a short distance ef [sic] the place where he had to unyoke the horse he found out his mistake, and, in attempting to unfasten the trace, unfortunately fell upon the rail, the waggon, which would weigh near to four tons, passed over his breast and killed him on the spot. Deceased came from Huddersfield, was a steady, industrious young man, and in his nineteenth year. Verdict-"Accidental death.

Saturday 26 Apr 1845 (p. 3, col. 2) We understand that the Hon. C. HOWARD, M.P. has not been able to attend to his parliamentary duties during the week, owing to a domestic calamity-the death of Lady RIDLEY. We have to record the premature death of Lady RIDLEY, wife of Sir Matthew White RIDLEY, Bart., and only surviving daughter, we believe, of Baron PARKE, who expired on Sunday last, at Blagden Hall, the honourable baronet's seat, near Newcastle, Northumberland. We hear that her ladyship was confined only a few weeks back, and that she had been ailing ever since. Baron and Lady PARKE are overwhelmed with this sad family bereavement, as it will be remembered their daughter, who married a son of the Earl of Carlisle, the Hon. C. HOWARD, died in the month of her accouchement. NARROW ESCAPE.-On Monday morning, as the brig Amity was about being launched from the patent slip, at Whitehaven, a youth named Joseph GRANT, belonging to the vessel, narrowly escaped destruction. GRANT was going in the hold of the vessel, and being in a stooping position was not observed, when a cask filled with water, which was about being let down into the hold, slipped from its tackling and struck him in its descent. The youth at first was supposed to have been killed; but though considerably injured, no bones were fractured, and hopes are entertained of his speedy recovery. PENRITH.-A boy in the employ of Mr. SMITH, at the Black Lion Inn, Penrith, was thrown from a horse which he had taken out to water, on Monday, and he was much injured that there is no hope whatever of his recovery.

Dear all, This is a long shot. In January I contacted the Kendal Record Office for a copy of WD RY/BOX 92/187 (Lease of Tithes, [2] November [1610]) However, 'The Rydal Collection has very recently been recatalogued and is in the process of being reboxed' and 'that this particular document cannot be located at the moment.' It is no longer accessible and has entered a 'when and if' time dimension: 'there is still a chance that this document may turn up'. The long shot is (of course) Please, has anybody out there had access and transcribed or otherwise copied to allow me to follow through on RICHARD ORMANDIE as mentioned therein. Many thanks Shawn Shaw Dorset

Hi Barb, Many thanks for all your transcription posts. They are really interesting and I know that all our members on the WES list look forward to reading them each day. I think this is perhaps the first post that relates directly to my family. Isaac SLACK of Skirwith Hall was my great great grandfather. His eldest daughter Elizabeth SLACK (Bessie) married my great grandfather Lancelot LANGHORN at Skirwith in 1877. The SLACK family at Skirwith were also linked by marriage to the TEASDALE's at Ousby and the SOWERBY's at Bank Hall.
