Saturday 20 Jul 1844 (p. 2, col. 8) The body of man named James GRAVES, a wood-cutter, from Winster, was on Thursday last found drowned near the landing-place at the Ferry inn, Windermere. The deceased had been missing for nearly a week, and as decomposition had taken place there is every reason to suppose that he had perished about the time he was first missed. The body was in an upright position in the water, and though found almost close to the landing-place his corpse was not discovered until the day above mentioned. ACCIDENT.-A fatal accident occurred a few days ago on board the Grace, of Newcastle, loaded with guano from Africa, by which a young man named FENWICK, belonging to Gateshead, lost his life. When about 40 miles from the Tyne, the deceased fell from the mast, first striking the bulwarks and then going into the sea. The mate of the vessel immediately leaped after him and he was speedily rescued from the water, but the injuries received were so great that he only survived a short time. On Tuesday, a private in the 37th regiment of foot, was drowned whilst bathing at Tynemouth. A number of the soldiers had been bathing at the Short Sands, when McHAY, who was a bad swimmer, ventured out of his depth, and was unable to return. The body had not been found when our account left. McHAY was first seen struggling for his life by the people on the cliff, his comrades appearently [sic] taking little notice of him. He sunk before a boat could be brought round from the haven. A young man named FRY dived several times, but was unable to bring up the body. AWFUL CATASTROPHE.-On Monday week, at the Lime Kilns, near Monkwearmouth, a poor man working at the kilns incautiously went on to one of them whilst burning, to do something that he deemed requisite, when the stone gave way, and he sank down into the burning mass, in which the greater part of his body was engulphed. After remaining in this awful position a short time, death put an end to his sufferings; and a rope having been made fast to the upper part of his body, the mangled corpse was drawn out with difficulty, and the lower part of the body and limbs were found almost reduced to a cinder. The unfortunate man, whose name was BELL, has left a widow and large family to deplore his loss. He was a native of Corbridge, and had been employed in the lime works at Monkwearmouth for about 22 years.

Saturday 13 Jul 1844 (p. 3, col. 1) INQUESTS. ----- (Before Mr. CARRICK, Coroner.) At Caldbeck, on Tuesday last, an inquest was held on the body of Mr. Jonathan NICHOLSON, tailor, aged 79 years, who died suddenly on the preceding Sunday. It appeared that deceased had been out fishing from between eight and nine o'clock on the preceding Saturday evening until an early hour of Sunday morning, in company with Robt. MASON. On their return home, about three o'clock in the morning, deceased complained of sickness and pain in his stomach, but after drinking a small quantity of spirits, which he had with him, he recovered. He afterwards attended Divine Service in the Parish Church, when, during the reading of prayers, he sank down in his seat, and expired while two or three of the congregation were carrying him into the church-yard. (Before Mr. BRAGG, Coroner.) An inquest was held, on the 21st ult., at Lamplugh Mill, in view of the body of Mrs. CUTHBERTSON, of Water Gate, Loweswater, who came by her death in the following manner. The deceased, accompanied by a neighbour, had been on a visit to a friend at Lamplugh, when unfortunately, as they were returning home in a cart, the horse made a swerve on a portion of the road where a small rivulet adjoins, and, the wheel running over the bank, they were precipitated into the water, the cart falling upon Mrs. CUTHBERTSON, by which she was so much injured that she only survived the accident three hours. The deceased was 42 years of age, was highly respected by all who knew her, and the poor in the neighbourhood have lost a kind friend, as her hand was ever ready to relieve those in distress. Verdict-"Accidental death."

Saturday 13 Jul 1844 (p. 2, col. 8 - p. 3, col. 1) On Thursday afternoon, a melancholy accident occurred to a man of the name of Thomas HODGSON, farmer, of Penrith, who was working a quarry at Maidenhill, and had gone to the nearest public-house to get some refreshment for himself and the other men employed in the quarry. He appears to have indulged too freely, and fell from the top to the bottom of the quarry, a distance of 12 yards. He was conveyed home, and medical attendants were quickly on the spot, but the back part of the skull is so much fractured that very faint hopes are entertained of his recovery. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-At a court for the relief of insolvent debtors, held at the Shire Hall, Appleby, on Ftiday [sic], the 5th inst., before David POLLOCK, Esq., Jonathan TITTERINGTON, late of Armside, Westmoreland, the only insolvent brought up, was ordered to be discharged forthwith.

Hall ALLINSON, Lowther | John DODGSON, Beck Street | Robert WILKIN, Mossband John WRIGHT, Knockupworth | The CHAIRMAN, in charging the Grand Jury, said that although there appeared to be many cases in the calendar, the Court was happy to say there were none of a serious nature, and only such as they were in the habit of dealing with,-common larcenies and misdemeanours, and therefore it was unnecessary to address them at any length. He then pointed out the several classes of crime, and the kind of evidence required for establishing the charges. There were 25 prisoners in the calendar for trial. Of these 12 were marked as unable to read or write, 10 to read imperfectly, and three to read and write well. COUNSEL PRESENT.-Messrs. RAMSHAY, FAWCETT, GREIG, HOSKINS, BELL, and OLIPHANT. ----- APPEALS. WHITEHAVEN Rem. BOTCHERGATE Appel. Order quashed by consent, upon matter of form. ----- WHITEHAVEN Rem. ALL SAINTS, POPLAR, LONDON, Appel. Order quashed by consent, upon matter of form. ----- CROGLIN Rem. RENWICK Appel. Order confirmed. ----- CALDEWGATE Rem. OUSBY Appel. This was an appeal against the removal of John BELL and Mary BELL, his wife, and their four children. Mr. GREIG appeared for the removants, and Mr. RAMSHAY for the appellants. Mr. GREIG stated that the pauper was the natural son of a woman who was a settled inhabitant of the parish of Ousby; but at the time he was born she was living with her mother in Wigton-the overseers consenting that the child should be born there, on receiving a certificate from the overseers of the parish of Ousby to show that the child's settlement would be in Ousby. The certificate, which was dated in 1814, was produced and read; and Mr. GREIG stated that the pauper had been relieved for years, while he was living out of the parish. Mr. RAMSHAY objected to the admission of the certificate, as it had not been set forth in the formal objections stated in the notice of appeal. The Court over-ruled this objection, and Mr. GREIG then proceeded to call witnesses. Wm. BUTTERY, assistant overseer of Wigton, produced the certificate. I got it amongst other documents belonging to the parish of Wigton-in the parish chest. I knew the pauper's grandfather and grandmother, and gave them relief for many years on account of Ousby parish. John BELL (the pauper)-I and my family have received relief from Caldewgate township. My mother's name was Frances BELL. I am a married man, and have been since 1836; and have four children. At the time I first recollect I was living with my grandmother, Mary BELL, at Wigton; and lived with her till I was 12 years of age. I have not gained a settlement for myself. Mary BELL, grandmother of the pauper, said the pauper lived with her till he was 12 years old, and she received half-a-crown a-week for him from the parish of Ousby. The overseers continued to pay us 2s. 6d. a-week for our own maintenance after he left us-we continued to receive it for years. Thomas BELL-I live at Wigton. The pauper was with me for about four years as an apprentice. During the first two years he was with me I received money on his account from the overseers of Ousby-2s. a week for the first year, and 1s. 8d. the second year. The relief book of the parish of Ousby was put in, and extracts read from it, showing payments to the pauper, at the rate of 2s. 6d. a week, and the payment of 10s. as an apprentice fee for him. Mr. RAMSHAY replied for the appellants, contending that the certificate was of no value at all-it wanted the legal qualities of one. The statute of 8 and 9 of Wm. 3rd, required that the certificate should be under the hands and seals of the overseers, attested by two or more credible witnesses. In this certificate there is but one attesting witness-and that he contended was a fatal objection to the certificate. Chairman-The Act of Parliament must be complied with, and it has not been. Mr. RAMSHAY-Lord Ellenborough has laid it down that the requirements of the Act must be strictly and literally complied with. Mr. GREIG contended that the want of an attesting witness did not affect the validity of the document-it having the signatures of the overseers and magistrates. Besides, the certificate being upwards of 30 years old, it proved itself, and did not require the production of the attesting witnesses. Mr. RAMSHAY replied-It was ridiculous to say that the lapse of 30 years would cure an original defect,-make that legal which was not before legal. The Chairman held the same opinion. The 3rd of Geo. 2, the last Act upon the subject, also required two witnesses. Mr. GREIG, in answer to the Court, said there were no cases on the books which would get over the difficulty. The Bench unanimously decided that the certificate was bad in law. The question remained-Was the evidence of the relief given proof of the settlement per se? The Bench was of opinion that the relief had been given under the erroneous impression that the certificate was good; and unanimously agreed to quash the order. This decision will throw the pauper upon the parish of Wigton.

Saturday 06 Jul 1844 (p. 2, col. 6) INQUESTS. ----- (Before Mr. CARRICK, Coroner.) ACCIDENT.-An inquest was held on Friday, at Westwoodside, near Crofton Hall, on the body of Mr. James ROAN, who died in consequence of injuries received on Monday by reason of a fall from his horse on his return from Rosley Hill Fair.-Verdict accordingly. (Before W. BRAGG, Esq., Coroner.) ACCIDENT.-A few days ago a melancholy accident occurred at Lamplugh Mill. Four young women were riding in a cart, which was unfortunately backed into a water course and overturned. Three of the females escaped unhurt, but the cart fell upon the breast of the fourth and injured her so severely that she died in about three hours afterwards. An inquest was afterwards held upon the body of the unfortunate young woman, and a verdict of accidental death returned. (Before Geo. THOMPSON, Esq., Coroner.) On Wednesday last, an inquisition was held at Bleatarn, Westmoreland, on the body of Mary DENT, wife of Mr. John DENT, of that place, aged 68 years. The deceased on the evening previous to the inquest, was sitting on a chair in conversation with the family and a neighbour or two, when she suddenly sighed and fell down on the floor, and on being removed to the door life was found to be extinct. She had not before been subject to any complaints of any description, and was in the enjoyment of her usual good health. Verdict-"Died by the visitation of Codi" [sic!]

Saturday 06 Jul 1844 (p. 2, col. 4-5) ODD FELLOW'S FUNERAL, BRAMPTON.-On Saturday afternoon last, the Loyal Brampton Lodge of Odd-Fellows accompanied the remains of their deceased brother, Mr. John MODLIN, hatter, Brampton, to the grave. The members met in their Lodge Room, at Mr. ARMSTRONG's, White Lion Inn, and at a quarter to five formed themselves in procession, and proceeded to the deceased's house, thence to the church-yard, and in the same order returned to the Lodge Room. Upwards of 50 members formed the procession, each wearing a pair of white gloves, and a white rosette on the left breast, with a small piece of crape inserted in the middle. The deceased, who was not quite 24 years of age, was much respected in Brampton; and a very large concourse of people attended his funeral. He had been, till within about a month past, employed in a hat establishment in Manchester, and attributed his death from his having slept in a damp bed in that place. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT ON LANCASTER SANDS.-On Saturday last, a labouring man of the name of James FRYERS met with his death under the following painful circumstances. He was proceeding to Kent's Bank, on the opposite side of the river, to commence work for Mr. FOX, plasterer, of this town, from whom he had just obtained employment; and on reaching one of the numerous channels with which these sands are intersected, declined the offer of a "lift" that was made him by a carter who was crossing the sands at the same time, preferring to wade across. The result of this rash determination was, that when he had attained the centre of the stream, he was swept off his feet by the violence of the current, and carried seaward with great rapidity. Some fishermen who had witnessed the occurrence, immediately pushed off to his assistance, and had got close to him when the unfortunate man made an unsuccessful grasp at the boat, and then disappeared beneath its stern. On Wednesday evening the body "washed up" at Silverdale, a distance of five miles from the spot. There is, we regret to state, every probability that FRYERS was intoxicated at the time this melancholy accident took place, as he had been drinking rather freely at the Hest Bank Hotel previous to adventuring that passage across the sands which he was fated never to accomplish. He has left a wife and two children to mourn his loss.-Lancaster Guardian. The funeral of the Poet CAMPBELL took place yesterday, in Westminster Abbey. Mr. CAMPBELL's grave was dug in the centre of the Poet's Corner, and among the assembled mourners were Lord BROUGHAM, CAMPBELL, and Aberdeen, Sir Robert PEEL, and many other individuals of note in the political world.

LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS....PART 3 SALE OF VALUABLE ESTATES IN CUMBERLAND. - On Tuesday last, MR. J. JACKSON, auctioneer brought to the hammer the valuable properties situate in the parish of Hesket-in-the-Forest, Hutton, and Lazonby, comprising the beautiful estate called "Brackenbrough", and four farms adjoining, consisting of 896a. 2r.22p. of fertile arable, meadow, pasture, and wood land, almost within a ring fence, with excellent residences, farm buildings and cottages; and, also, a very compact and desirable estate at High Hesket, comprising newly erected dwelling house, outbuildings, and 157a. 0r. 34p. of arable, meadow, and wood land. The Breckenbrough Estate and farms were first submitted to competition, and afterwards reached £36,000 when the bidding ceased. The estate was then put up in lots, the first that was submitted being Brackenbrough farm, which the auctioneer introduced by saying that it would make the prettiest place in the north of England. After being bid up to £14,000, no sale was declared, and "Blacksykes Farm" was next submitted. This only reached £4,600, and was then withdrawn. Robinson's House Farm reached the sum of £4,000; Kitty House, 30 acres in extent, £1,300; and Low Plains, comprising upwards of 289 acres, £11,000. The aggregate of these several sums being only £34,900, or £1,100 below the sum offered for the whole, the Brackenbrough Estate was then put up in its entirety, and some spirited bidding ensued. Eventually it was knocked down to the bid of MR. DICKINSON, land agent, Workington, for MR. HARRIS, Greysouthen, Cockermouth, for £38,200. The Hesket Estate, together with two Parcels of Woodland called "Tally-Ho", was then offered, and was sold to MR. BIRNEY, of Carlisle, for £8,250. The prices realised are a trifle under the sum at which the owner, the late MR. MURRAY, purchased a few years ago.

LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS....PART 2 PENRITH AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. - The secretaryship of this Society has become vacant by the resignation of MR. T. BOWSTEAD, of Edenhall, who, after 13 years of official connection with the Society, has wrought it up to a state of great prosperity, leaving a balance on hand at the close of the financial year of upwards of £70. MR. BOWSTEAD's resignation will be a great loss to the Society, though we are glad to say that having been placed on the committee, his valuable services will still be available in the interests of the Society. BOWLING MATCH - PENRITH v. KENDAL. - A match was played at Kendal on Thursday afternoon, between a side belonging to that place and a similar number of players from Penrith. The weather up to the opening of the game was most unpromising, though it proved a beautiful afternoon, and the green was considerably improved by the quantity of rain that had fallen. There was some very good play, Kendal making 106 and Penrith 8, the former carrying off the sweepstakes that followed, and which were divided among Messrs. R. WINDER, E. S. WINDER, W. JACKSON, J. MONKHOUSE, and J. CARRADUS, as time would not permit them to be played out. A DANGEROUS DOG. - A cabinet maker in Penrith, named JAMES SCOTT, complained to us that as he went down Rowcliffe Lane, on Saturday last, a terrier dog belonging to a person named VARTY came without any warning behind him, and seizing him by the calf of his leg, left a serious lacerated wound. He immediately went for treatment to DR. ROBERTSON's, who informed him that he was the third person who had come to him through being bitten by the same dog. This being the case, it would appear that it is more than time that the dog should be looked after, and his propensities for this sort of thing checked. A "CHEAP" TRIP AND WHAT IT COST. - At the excursion to Redcar and Saltburn, on Friday last, a young man named THOMAS NICHOLSON, a son of MR. NICHOLSON of the "Slip Inn" near Barras, came to grief. The carriage in which the young man was returning was occupied by a rather boisterous crew, all of whom were more or less under the influence of "John Barleycorn". Quarrelling, ending in fighting, ensured, and when the train was approaching Darlington station, young NICHOLSON either jumped out voluntarily or was involuntarily kicked out. Fortunately he was not injured by his fall, though he was considerably bruised about the face by the fighting in which he had been previously engaged. The train was soon brought to a stand-still, and NICHOLSON was spoken to in terms of rebuke by the guard. He retorted again in strong language, refused to take his place in the train, and after a good deal of noise, he was taken by a policeman and placed in "durance vile", the train being despatched without him. Next morning he was brought before the magistrates for getting out of the train when in motion, and was ordered to pay the penalty of his transgression by handing out the sum of £1 14s. 6d., including costs. His trip, therefore, could not be said to be a "cheap" one, unless the experience he has gained should make the youth a wiser man.

LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS....PART 1 SIR HENRY TUFTON, Bart., has purchased one of the freehold mansions in Chesterfield Gardens, Mayfair, as his future residence. FREEMASONRY. - The REV. DR.

BANNISTER, the Master of the above Workhouse, had his salary increased from £45 to £65. SUDDEN DEATH IN STAINMORE. - A farmer named ROBERT CALVERT, of Stainmore, was engaged on Monday last about his usual avocations, and on the morning of othe next day (Tuesday) he died very suddenly. The cause of death is said to have been apoplexty. We are glad to call attention to the Band of Hope demonstration at Appleby on Thursday next, which is to be on a large scale. From the programme announced, and the names of speakers to be present, we have no doubt the proceedings will be of a most interesting nature. CHEAP TRIP TO SALTBURN. - An excursion which was given by the North Eastern Railway Company, at the solicitation of the REV. W. LYDE, of Brough, took p lace on Friday last, from Penrith to Redcar and Saltburn. A contingent of about 200 embarked at Musgrave, from Brough, a great portion of which were young folk attending the Church of England Sunday Schools, for whom MR. LYDE had provided the treat. The day was fine, and the young folk much enjoyed the trip to the seaside, many of them never having seen the "blue ocean" before.
