PENRITH COUNTY COURT. THURSDAY, OCT. 1 (Before T. H. INGHAM, Esq., Judge) Solicitors present: MESSRS. T. G. CANT, T. LAMONBY, S. K. JAMES, and H. RICHARDSON, of Penrith; MR. OSTELL, Carlisle, and MR. VARTY (Registrar). APPLICATION FOR A NEW TRIAL. In the case of GEORGE MILLER, horse dealer, Penrith, against T. DAWSON, a farmer residing near Penruddock, an application was made by MR. LAMONBY for a new trial. Originally the action was brought to recover the price of a horse sold by MILLER to the defendant, and the latter stated that when he got the animal home, he discovered that it was lame and not “sound and all right”, upon the strength of which representation he had been induced to become the purchaser. The whole question turning upon the soundness or unsoundness of the animal, His Honor adjourned the case to the September court to afford an opportunity of having the horse examined by MR. CARLISLE; but when the case was called upon, plaintiff’s advocate informed His Honor that the horse had been resold, and his client had been unable to discover its whereabouts. His Honor, regarding this as a subterfuge, gave a decision in favour of defendant. MR. LAMONBY said they had discovered that the horse was in the neighbourhood of Whitehaven, and it could now be produced, if a re-hearing of the case was granted. MR. CANT opposed the application. – His Honor said he must decline to enter again into the case, which had been fully heard at the two previous courts. _________________________ ACTION FOR DAMAGES – WM. ALLAN v. JOHN MACPHERSON. This was an action brought to recover £10 damages sustained in consequence of the conduct of the defendant, under the following circumstances: - The defendant is a waggoner, residing at Penrith Townhead, in the neighbourhood of which he rents some grazing land, which, at the April fair, he let for the accommodation of cattle. Between five and six o’clock in the evening of the 22nd April, the plaintiff, who is 13 years of age, went into a field with a can in order to milk one of the cows grazing there. The defendant, who had a stick in his hand, rushed up to him and “struck him all over”. Defendant then chased him to a wall, saying “Over that wall you must go”. He begged to be allowed to go through the gate, which was close at hand; but defendant refused, and when he had climbed on to the top of the wall, he struck his hands with the stick, and obliged him to let go his hold. He dropped a distance of about nine feet, and broke his leg just above the ankle. Plaintiff was conveyed home in a cart, and was laid up for seven or eight weeks. His Honor: Why has not the plaintiff appeared to explain such disgraceful conduct: I shall give a verdict for the full amount claimed, with costs. MR. CANT appeared for plaintiff. ================================================================= barb, ontario, canada.
Saturday 10 Jul 1819 (p. 3, col. 6) SHIPPING. Violent Outrage.On the 1st June, the Brunswick, schooner, from Liverpool to Genoa, being then off Cape St. Maria, was hailed by a Spanish vessel, and a boat subsequently sent alongside to learn the particulars of her destination and cargo, &c. which were correctly given. About five minutes after the boat had quitted the English vessel, the Spaniards, without any previous intimation, fired a shot into her, which severed the body of Mr. W. WALKER *, passenger, and wounded two others; his servant Alexander M'CASTLE, in the right arm and in the face; and Charles WATERSON, a seaman, in the eyes. After this unprovoked act of aggression, the Captain of the Spanish vessel sent an officer on board to make an apology for what he endeavoured to represent as an accident, and to offer assistance; this however was declined by the Brunswick, who pursued her voyage, and arrived safely at Genoa on the 13th ult. The Spanish ship was said to be a frigate, and her name Bronte, formerly a Russian vessel of the same class. * We are particularly sorry to state, that the gentleman thus sacrificed, is William WALKER, Esq. of Whitehaven.

The minister replied"you ought to have provided money before you had come here to be married." The poor man took his wife by the arm, and walked off, saying"wa-wa-when ta-ta-trade mends, I'll pa-pa-pay you as sa-sa-soon as I can." DEATHS. Since our last:Mr. Thos.

In the death of this most worthy individual, the town of Penrith, and indeed society in general, have lost a most valuable friend. Feeling alive to the distresses of his fellow-creatures, it was his constant study to render them alleviation; and many are the charitable institutions founded by his zealous exertions for the welfare of the community, which will remain honourable monuments of his enthusiastic philanthropy. Nor did his amiable qualities rest here, for few have discharged the duty of a Magistrate with greater credit to themselves or satisfaction to the public. Wholly divested of that indifference which marks the characters of too many in whom this great trust is reposed, it was ever his desire to pry into every circumstance attendant on cases under his cognizance in order to decide with perfect impartiality: and innumerable instances might be adduced of the good effects produced by his praise-worthy activity. In short, he was almost perfection in his naturea sincere Christiana disinterested frienda dutiful husbandan affectionate father,and his death has called forth the unfeigned lamentations of all in every class of society who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.Peace to his beloved manes! may we all be as worthy the inheritance of a blessed hereafter!From a Correspondent.

Hi After some years away from Genealogy I have now been able to return to it and it is interesting looking at things afresh. My Westmorland interests include a few Surnames, of which there are at least a couple of separate family lines, which becomes confusing: HORN(E); MILNER; MOSS(E) and SALKELD. It is SALKELD which is concerning me at the moment as I have a horrible feeling I may be researching the incorrect line. Are there any Pedigrees anywhere or/and is there a SALKELD "specialist" out there? Looking forward to replies Regards Garry Auckland, New Zealand '
NEWS ITEMS. FAREWELL SERMON BY THE REV. C. H. GEM. – On Sunday last, the REV. C. H. GEM, curate of Penrith Parish Church, who has been appointed by the Bishop to the living at Torpenhow, preached his farewell sermon to an immense congregation. ____________________________________________________________ PICKPOCKETS AT BROUGH HILL FAIR. – At the Kirkby Stephen Petty Sessions yesterday (Friday), before DR. SIMPSON and T. MASON, Esq., a man named WILLIAM LEE, of London, was brought up in custody on a charge of attempting to pick pockets. He was caught by P.C. (83) THORNBORROW with his hand in a cattle dealer’s pocket at Warcop Railway Station. The Bench sentenced the prisoner to two months’ imprisonment with hard labour. JAMES CURTIS, of Liverpool, who was in company with the prisoner LEE, and charged with frequenting the railway station for an unlawful purpose, was ordered to undergo a similar punishment. ____________________________________________________________ PROPERTY SALE AT HESKET-NEW-MARKET. – On Thursday last, MR. JOHN JACKSON, of Penrith, sold by auction, under a decree of Chancery, at the King’s Arms Inn, Hesket-new-Market, two estates, together about 48 acres, called Gill Foot, near Hesket-new-Market. There was a full attendance, and the bidding was spirited. The purchaser was MR. JOS. HOWE, of Hesket, and the price £1,810. MESSRS. ARNISON, of Penrith, were the solicitors acting on behalf of the vendors. ___________________________________________________________ THE LIVING OF ROCKCLIFFE. – We learn that the REV. E. GABRIEL, vicar of St. George’s, Kendal, has now accepted the living of Rockliffe, rendered vacant by the death of the REV. GEORGE TOPPING. The ‘Diocesan Calendar’ states that the nett value of the living is £300, the population 784, and that there is church accommodation for 172. An unappropriated fund of about £1,500 exists for the building of a new parsonage. The living, which is in the gift of the Dean and Chapter, might, we believe, have been reclaimed under a recent Act of Parliament, by either CANON PRESCOTT or CANON HODGSON, neither of whom has any cure of souls, but for a private understanding with the Bishop at the time of their appointment. The option, however, does not extend in this case to the Minor Canons. ========================================================== barb, ontario, canada.
WESTMORLAND AND CUMBERLAND YEOMANRY CAVALRY. On Monday last, the week’s work culminated in the review of the troops by COLONEL SAGAR, Inspector of the Northern District. Not many strangers made their way to Penrith. Indeed, it seemed that Westmorland sent the largest contingent of visitors, and even they were not very numerous. The morning broke dull and threatening, but the breeze was stiff enough to send the clouds floating quickly about overhead, and sanguine hopes were entertained of a fine day. The wind, however, ceased blowing, the clouds gathered thicker and thicker, and shortly after the review commenced, the ominous-looking clouds gathered in such dense masses that a downpour of rain followed. There was less stir than usual in Penrith on the morning of the cavalry review day. There were of course plenty of loungers about the street corners; but no bustle whatever was perceptible until eleven o’clock, when the cavalrymen of the two counties assembled at their several quarters, and marched to Great Dockray. The band of the regiment here took up position in the front, and LORD LONSDALE, who rode at the head of the regiment, at once gave the order to “March”. The band struck up a lively air, to which the horsemen kept excellent time. The Dalemain troop led the way. Penrith race-course was reached about half-past eleven. A long line of carriages followed the cavalry to the review ground, and were drawn up in a line on the south side of the ground. Among the company present we observed the COUNTESS OF LONSDALE, LADY SYBIL and LADY VARINA LONSDALE, the HON. LANCELOT LOWTHER, the HON. E. ERSKINE, COLONEL SANDERSON, COLONEL and MRS. NEWDIGATE, LIEUT. COL. SALKELD, MAJOR GENERAL BROUGHAM, SIR R. C. and LADY MUSGRAVE; MR. G. J. JOHNSON, Castlesteads and party; MR. W. PARKER, Carleton Hill; MR. W. PRITT and party, Rampsbeck; MISS CHARLOTTE HARRISON, MR. WM. HARRISON, Penrith; MR. MOSSENDEW, Lowther, &c. After the regiment had wheeled into line, COL. SEGAR (the reviewing officer) accompanied by the HON. HUGH LOWTHER and LIEUT SPEDDING, arrived on the ground. The gallant officer was received with a general salute; and at once, accompanied by the staff, proceeded to inspect the ranks. This over, the troops re-formed line and marched by troops and squadrons. The regiment then marched past by single file, the band playing “Napoleon’s March”. The troops having completed this movement, the next was a trot past by squadrons, which was remarkably well done, the troopers keeping well together. Indeed, taking the regiment throughout, we never saw the men better mounted. The regiment next proceeded with the field movement, which were also well executed. Finally the regiment advanced in review order and saluted, after which a square was formed, and, COLONEL SEGAR, in addressing the regiment, said that on Saturday, on foot parade, he was very much pleased to see so fine a regiment, and the manner in which they marched past and went through their exercise was very credible. The turn out to-day was very good, but their overalls were rather too short. Otherwise their turn out was very good, and they looked soldier-like on parade He was much pleased with the manner in which they went through their parade and field movements. They had gone through everything to his satisfaction, but still there was room for improvement, and the way to get that improvement was by attending preliminary drills. It was not fair to those who did attend the preliminary drills for others to stay away. At those drills they learned their movements by fours, and all troop movements and skirmishing, which enable them, when they came on duty, to take their position in the ranks of the regiment. He knew the difficulties which sometimes attended their preliminary drill, many of them having to come a long way, but he hoped they would try and do it. Turning to LORD LONSDALE, the colonel added, “My Lord, I shall have great pleasure in making a favourable report of your regiment. I think the men have shown great intelligence in skirmishing and outpost duty”. On the conclusion of the reviewing officer’s address, LORD LONSDALE ordered the troops to re-form line and then addressed a few words to them, after which the regiment marched back to the town. Though rain was falling in drizzling showers, the return of the cavalry to Penrith was as attractive as ever. The beautiful landscape which can be overlooked from Penrith race-course was, however, partially obscured by the mist which hung heavily over the surrounding country. Indeed the mountains surrounding Ullswater were scarcely discernible; but the effect of the down-hill march of the mounted troops was not marred. On reaching Great Dockray, the regiment was dismissed, and thus “cavalry week” of 1874 was brought to a close. The 5th Cumberland Rifle Volunteers, under the command of MAJOR HARRISON, kept the ground for the Yeomanry, who were assisted by a strong detachment of the county constabulary, under the supervision of MR. DUNNE, chief constable. In the evening the streets of Penrith were very busy. Many of the tradesmen closed their shops in the course of the afternoon, and the day was generally observed as a holiday. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ barb, ontario, canada.
ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE. JUMPING AT AGRICULTURAL SHOWS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE “HERALD”. Sir, – I see from your letter in your paper that a “Subscriber to the Appleby Show” seems to have been a little annoyed at being kept an hour and a half from an excellent dinner – a thing quite sufficient to vex Job himself. The delay he attributes to the hurdle leaping. No doubt it took up a considerable time, but had the judges been a little more punctual in commencing their duties, things would not have been so bad, and “Subscriber” must remember the leaping is a most attractive feature, as can easily be proved by the large number of spectators who don’t care to come into the ground until near the time when the jumping commences; and no doubt the committee are quite are that if they do away with the leaping, the gate money will fall off considerably.

BROUGHAM; J. E. HASELL, Esq.; and GENERAL BROUGHAM.) CERTIFYING THE JURY LISTS. – For a considerable time the court was occupied in revising and passing the lists of persons entitled to serve as jurors in the district of Leath Ward. In consequence of a legal quibble raised by a member of the Bench, the proceedings were protracted and tedious in the extreme, and the professional gentlemen present put to great inconvenience. _________________ GAME TRESPASS. – GEORGE GILL, of Harbour Lodge, near Aston, was charged, on the information of JOHN FURNESS, game watcher, in the service of W. PARKER, Esq., Carleton Hill, with having trespassed in pursuit of game on certain lands in the occupation of MR. TINNISWOOD, Glassonby, on the 19th September. MR. T. J. SCOTT appeared for the defendant, and the prosecution was conducted by MR. LAMONBY. After the evidence of the complainant, several witnesses were called to prove that the charge was unfounded. The Bench then retired, and on their coming into court the Chairman said, after considering the evidence carefully, they had come to the conclusion to mulct the defendant in costs, amounting to 17s. 6d. ============================================================= barb, ontario, canada. ** mulct [məlkt] VERB 1.. extract money from (someone) by fine or taxation: "no government dared propose to mulct the taxpayer for such a purpose"
THE HERALD OFFICE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1874. LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS. A Tumbler pigeon, probably failing to calculate its distance, made a swoop the other day and descended a chimney in Elm Terrace, Penrith, where it was captured in the kitchen of the house. At Bellingham agricultural show on Thursday, there were fifteen entries for hunters, and MR. G. MULCASTER’s of Burgh, chestnut gelding, “Bridegroom” was awarded the first prize of £10, and MR. MULCASTER received a handsome whip given for the best rider. In our report of the agricultural show held at Appleby in the class of three-years-old fillies for harness, ADMIRAL ELIOTT was erroneously placed first, and MR. KILVINGTON, Brough, second. The award was just the reverse. THE MAYO STATUTE. – It has been finally decided that the statute of LORD MAYO at Cockermouth shall be placed in the Main-street, near to the Bush Inn. The ceremony of unveiling it is expected to take place about the 13th of October. DEATH OF MR. JAMES FAWCETT. - MR. JAMES FAWCETT, of Scaleby Castle, died on Thursday night week. He was a magistrate of this county, and was well known among agriculturists as a shorthorn fancier, and formerly as a breeder of horses of high character. The funeral took place at Scaleby by Church, at noon, on Thursday last. PENRITH BOARD OF GUARDIANS. – At the usual fortnightly meeting of the Penrith Guardians held on Tuesday, SIR RICHARD MUSGRAVE, Bart., was unanimously elected chairman, in place of MR. W. HARRISON, resigned. The salary of MR. TURNER, relieving officer for Penrith district, was increased from £80 to £90 per year. The extensive and valuable premises in the Market Square, Penrith, lately belonging to and occupied by MESSRS. HEWER, having been purchased by THOMAS HODGSON, of the Herald Office, are now undergoing alteration and improvement, after which they will be occupied partly by the owner for his printing, newspaper, and bookselling business; and the other part by MESSRS.. BOWERBANK and PUGMIRE (late BOWERBANK and PATTINSON), ironmongers. REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM FIRE. – The other day, MR. SWEETEN, bookseller, Penrith, had just received a small parcel of books, which at closing time was left in the room behind the shop. Next morning, it was discovered that in an unaccountable manner, the parcel had taken fire, and its contents worth three or four pounds, reduced to ashes, besides which the floor and a door against which the parcel stood was burnt through. No other damage was done, and when found the fire was quite out. Considering the inflammable nature of the stock, it was as fortunate as surprising that the fire did not extend and burn the place down. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ barb,ontario,canada.

Saturday 10 Jul 1819 (p. 2, col. 6 p. 3, col. 2) We are happy to observe that Mr. WEBSTER, well known throughout the kingdom as an eminent scientific character, intends to deliver a course of Lectures in Carlisle, to commence on the evening of Friday next. Mr. WEBSTER's apparatus is now superior to any that has ever been seen in this part of the kingdom. He has already obtained a very respectable list of subscribers; which, we feel assured, will greatly increase as soon as his intentions become generally known. The numerous improvements which have lately taken place in the sciences embraced in Mr. WEBSTER's lectures, will render them novel as well as interesting even to the majority of those who pay more than ordinary attention to scientific subjects. Besides a complete gaslight apparatus, Mr. WEBSTER carries with him no less than eight working models of steam engines, and his illustration of the principle of Davy's Lamp is at once scientific and familiar. We refer the reader to the advertisement, and feel confidence in recommending his Lectures to public attention. The Triennial Visitation and Confirmation of the Lord Bishop of this Diocese was holden in the Cathedral on Monday last. There were 1543 persons confirmed upon this occasion.His Lordship, in his charge to the Clergy, delivered some most excellent and judicious remarks upon the course of study and the necessary qualifications of candidates for ordination. He also recommended to the Clergy in general, the establishment of a fund for the relief of distressed clergymen, their widows and orphans. In consequence of his Lordship's recommendation the Clergy (who dined with the Bishop) unanimously entered into a subscription for the above useful purpose, and 30 guineas were subscribed. In our last number, we fell into an error in saying that the Carlisle Gas Light Company had contracted for lighting the city lamps; they have contracted with a person of eminence for the erection of the necessary gas works which are now in progress; the whole to be finished, and the city and suburbs lighted by the 1st of October. The body of Mr. Walter LAIDLER, traveller for BUSH & WERE, of London, (whose fatal accident we mentioned in our last) was found on Saturday, a few yards below where he sunk. A Coroner's Inquest was held in the evening at the Grapes Inn, and the Jury's verdict, was "Drowned while bathing in the river Eden." On Sunday, the remains were interred, in St. Mary's Church-yard. The funeral was attended by Mr. NICHOLSON, who came down from the House, and all the Commercial Travellers at the different Inns, in number above 20, as well as many of their friends in this city. Mr. LAIDLER was much respected by his employers, and his books and accounts were found perfectly correct. We are sorry to find that his widow and child and an aged mother, are left without means of support. Several absurd reports have got into circulation relative to a supposed difference between the deceased and his wife, &c. but they are entirely destitute of truth. On Wednesday night, a quantity of clothes left out to bleach, was stolen from a garden at Stanwix by some nightly depredators, who have not yet been completely discovered, but we are happy to learn that there is a clue to their detection. On Thursday last, at Crosby-upon-Eden, a cow that had shortly before lost her calf, attacked a child about three years old, knocked it down, and trampled upon it. A woman of the name of REAY ran to the child's assistance, when the animal turned upon her, soon brought her to the ground, and very much hurt her, dislocating her wrist, and trampling upon her neck: the poor woman was rescued by some of her neighbours with great difficulty. On Friday last, as John ADDISON, a boy about 12 years of age, was riding on a horse in a cart near Wigton, he unfortunately fell backwards and died instantly on the spot from the wounds received in his head and neck by the fall. On the following day a Coroner's Inquest was held, when the Jury returned a verdict of accidental death. It was said in our last paper, that Mr. PARKINS had been elected Sheriff of London and Middlesex, "under the auspices of Mr. WOOLER." We are assured by a gentleman who was present, that Mr. WOOLER had not the slightest connexion with the business, and that Mr. P. was chosen by the unanimous voice of a great number of the livery, upon independent principles. In a speech in the House of Commons, on Tuesday night, on the Charitable Foundations Bill, Mr. BROUGHAM said, that the number of children educated in the county of Cumberland, with reference to the amount of the population, is one-eleventh. In Bedford, they amounted to only one-twenty-first. Signal stations are about to be erected on several parts of the coast, to watch the movements of the smuggling vessels, and give notice of their approach. A correspondent informs us, that at the late Newcastle races an unfortunate Dandy met with a serious kind of accident. Mounted on his Rosinante, he was showing off in great style in the neighbourhood of the course, when, in consequence of some irregular motion on the part of his horse, he lost his seat and fell to the ground. He fortunately pitched on his head, which being formed of true Dandy materials, sustained no injury, but his neck, being vulnerable, suffered severely from a tin stiffner enclosed in his cravat. It was literally cut all round, and bled profusely. Mayor's Court.In the Mayor's Court, held at the Town Hall, on Monday, a case came before his worship and a jury, which is of some importance to tradesmen, and will serve as a caution. It was an action brought by a mail-coach guard, named GRAHAM, against Mr. THURNAM, bookseller, in Carlisle, for the recovery of £1, under the following circumstances.John UNDERWOOD deposed, that he was sent by GRAHAM from the house Mr. M'GLASSON, an innkeeper, to get four Scotch notes changed for those of the Bank of England, which he wanted to carry south in order to oblige friends in that quarter, where Scotch notes are not current. UNDERWOOD procured three at Mr. THURNAM's, and one at Mrs. SEWELL's, the whole of which he put together, but he well knew the latter's note on account of its colour. This was on a Wednesday. GRAHAM carried the notes south, and on Sunday he brought back one of them, saying it was forged, which witness knew he had of Mr. THURNAM by a rent that was in it. On taking this note back to Mr. THURNAM on the Monday morning, that gentleman refused to change it, alleging that is was not the same which had been obtained of him. On his cross-examination by Mr. PEARSON, and in answer to some questions put to him from the bench, the witness admitted he did not know the note by the number, signature, or any private mark, but simply by the rent: it also appeared that GRAHAM had been in Carlisle two or three times in the interval between obtaining the note and the time of returning it. Mr. ROWLANDS, of the New Bank, said that he was present when UNDERWOOD swore to the note before Dr. HEYSHAM, and he heard UNDERWOOD say that he thought the rent was longer when he had the note of Mr. THURNAM, than when GRAHAM brought it back. Mr. ROWLANDS had no doubt whatever of the note being a forged one. If he had mixed a note having such a rent with others, he should not have thought of swearing to it by that mark alone. But a great many notes passed through his hands: perhaps if he had received only three or four, he might be able to do so.Mr. PEARSON addressed the jury at some length: he dwelt upon the improbability of UNDERWOOD being able to swear to a note by a simple tear or rent, and pointed out the danger of giving a verdict upon such a species of identificationfor if so slight a knowledge were allowed to be conclusive, the hazard to which respectable tradesmen would be exposed, was great and alarming. He felt assured that the jury would never give sanction to such doubtful proof.The Mayor in summing up, told the jury, that the question for them to decide was, whether they thought the mark was such as to enable UNDERWOOD to identify it. If they thought so, the plaintiff must have a verdict; if they thought otherwise, they were bound to find for the defendant. The jury retired for a short time, and returned with a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 20s.

The circumstances attending his death are melancholy in the extreme. About a fortnight ago he paid a visit to his daughter, Mrs. John FROOD, at Rabbiewhat, whose husband was lately unfortunately drowned while crossing at Bowness, as noticed in in a former paper. Mr. M'MINN passed through Dumfries on Wednesday, early in the afternoon, on his return home, and had proceeded as far as the Glen Burn, about a quarter of a mile from his residence, when in crossing a narrow wooden bridge over that place, his foot slipped (as is supposed,) and he fell into the stream; and although it was not above a foot in depth, yet from the fatigue he had undergone, the suddenness of the fall, and his head being immersed in water, the vital spark was entirely gone before he was discovered.
Saturday 03 Jul 1819 (p. 3, col. 2-3) House of Recovery.The acknowledged utility, and successful practical humanity, which have attended the erection of Houses of Recovery, for the reception of the poorer classes labouring under contagious fevers, in those towns, particularly, where manufactories are established, and where numbers are necessarily crowded together, induce the Committee for the establishment of a similar institution in this City, earnestly to call upon its inhabitants for a further extension of contribution towards its completion, as the present fund is not adequate to effect so beneficial and desirable a purpose. The late general prevalence of typhus fever, and its great fatality in those families where separation could not take place, shew strongly the absolute necessity of our being prepared with the best means of checking future similar calamities. The Committee have obtained a most eligible site, and have contracted for the completion of the house, on a plan and scale which they trust will prove most conducive to the intended benefit. But the funds are not quite sufficient, they therefore trust the public will excuse a second call upon their liberality and humanity.Carlisle, July 2, 1819. We are happy to learn that Mr. Robert ANDERSON's friends are exerting themselves most strenuously in promoting the success of his Poetical Works. During the past week, a Committee has been named, as well as means adopted for ensuring the co-operation of Auxiliary Committees in all the principal towns of this and the neighbouring counties, and in London, Edinburgh, &c. Another Meeting will be held at the Grey Goat Inn, on Monday evening, when a Treasurer, Secretary, and a Sub-committee will be elected. It is hoped there will be a numerous attendance. The publication will be forwarded with all possible expedition.See adv. The Carlisle Gas Light Company have contracted with the Commissioners for lighting the City Lamps with Gas. J. C. CURWEN, Esq. arrived at Workington Hall, from London, having attended his parliamentary duties ever since the opening of the present session. George BLAMIRE, Esq., son of Thomas BLAMIRE, Esq. M. D., of this city, was last week called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn. A Commercial Traveller from the house of Messrs. DIXON and Co. of London, named LAIDLER, was unfortunately drowned in the Eden, near this city, on Sunday last, while bathing: and what is rather singular, the body has not yet been found, notwithstanding an active search, rendered still more diligent by the offer of a handsome reward on the part of the deceased's fellow-travellers, then at the Grapes Inn. Mr. LAIDLER has left a wife and children. On Wednesday night, some depredators broke into the garden of Mr. James IRWIN, of Caldew Brow, and stole from the back door, a basket of potatoes, two water tins, a spade, and other articles of minor value. Adam MURRAY, convicted of stealing two heifers, Thomas YOUDALE, of stealing two watches, and Richard HODGSON, of stealing money from Mr. ATKINSON's house, at Penrith, were removed from Carlisle gaol, on Monday last, to the Hulks, at Woolwich. On Saturday night last, about 12 o'clock, a number of young men attempted to cross the water betwixt Cardurnock and Longnewton, but finding the tide too far advanced they all returned excepting two; one of whom, after being tossed by the waves some time, got across, but in a very exhausted state; the other was unfortunately drowned. He was a very respectable young man, named John MANDELL, and resided at Moss-side, Holme Cultram. Mr. PARKINS has been elected one of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, by the popular voice of the Livery, under the auspices of Mr. WOOLER, and Mr. FEARON, the well-known author of a book on America."Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." Some information regarding the projected new church in Caldewgate, will be found in an advertisement, in another column. On Monday, as Mr. BENN, land-steward to the Earl of Lonsdale, was endeavouring to force his horse over a drain in a field near Kell's Pit, Whitehaven, (at which place he was superintending his Lordship's workmen) the animal refused to go, and immediately reared up and fell back with Mr. BENN underneath, which bruised him severely. Mr. B. was taken home as soon as possible, but was some hours before he could speak; and although considerably better, he was not thought out of danger (says our correspondent) on Thursday. Immediate notice having been given to Mr. ROBINSON, surgeon, he attended without a moment's time being lost. A boy of the name of CANDLISH was unfortunately drowned on Wednesday last, by falling into a pond near William Pit, Whitehaven. No one perceiving him at the instant, it was some time before he was discovered, and then life was totally gone. He was a fine boy, about 12 years of age. A respectable young man put a period to his existence on Saturday last, at Appleby, by hanging himself in a fit of insanity. A duck belonging to Mr. J. GREEN, of Ambleside, lately laid an egg which weighed thirteen and a half ounces. It [sic] length was 5¾ inchesits circumference 9¾; and when broken was found to contain two yolks.Westmorland Gazette. There is at present residing at Pinkell Cottage, near Newton-Stewart, the seat of Lieut. General the Hon. Sir William STEWART, Alexander M'CREADIE of Sorby, whose corporeal and mental faculties seem but little impaired by the wasting hand of Time, although he is at present in the 106th year of his age. This singular specimen of antiquity possesses such a youthful cheerfulness in conversation, and such a fondness of relating the manners and customs of the people of Galloway in the early part of his life, to make him not only an amusing, but likewise a very instructive companion. When he was a young man, about 90 years ago, he says "there was not a spinning wheel to be seen frae the Bridgend o' Dumfries to the braes o' Glenap, nor were the people of Galloway acquainted with dying any other colour than black, which, when mixed with white wool, was made into clothing (hodden-gray) for both lairds and ladies, and was far afore the twittery worm-wabs made now-a-days."The broad national bonnet was invariably worn by men of every station in this quarter then, except by the Earl of Galloway, and Colonel AGNEW of Sheuchan: "they introduced the thriftless fashion of wearing hats into this country." "Linen sarks were only worn by the tap gentry, an' nane o' them had either neeks or hanbons."Looking glasses were then so scarce, that "gin a bonny lass wanted to see hersel, she had, like my joe Janet, either keek into the draw-well, a cog fu' o' water, or a dub at a dykeside." This curious chronicler was born in the parish of Kirkinner in the beginning of the year 1714, and has always been a laborious and hardworking man.When he was 102 years of age, during the harvest season he bound up the grain cut by four able shearers, and to the present time he cooks all his own victuals, casts his own peats, and manages all his own affairs, and can read the smallest edition of the Psalms of David without the help of spectales [sic]. He was never out of Galloway except once, and then only for a few days. His present journey from Sorby to Pinkell Cottage was undertaken at the desire of Sir Wm. STEWART, who would have conveyed him in a carriage, but the old man preferred travelling on foot, and performed the last nine miles of his journey with great ease in about four hours.

The Midsummer Vacation will terminate on the 29th of this month, and it is requested that Young Ladies will punctually assemble on the 30th. MISS DOWLING, SENSIBLE of the encouragement with which she has been honoured, assures those Parents who have entrusted, and those who may entrust, their Children to her care, that no exertions shall be wanting on her part, for the attainment of the objects which she has particularly in view.

It is Miss DOWLING's wish to gain the esteem of her Pupils, and to fix their attention by affectionate treatment, and by keeping a watchful eye over their Manners, Deportment, and Comforts, with especial regard to their religious improvement; and she feels it her duty to express her conviction that accomplishments, if not founded upon this basis, are of no value.

Saturday 26 Jun 1819 (p. 2, col. 5-6) Edward BARNES, and Edward JOHNSTON, two young men, joiners by trade, have this week been fully committed upon suspicion of having killed and carried away the lamb belonging to Richard LOWRY, of Durnhill, Esq. alluded to in our last paper. The principal evidence against them is that of two soldiers who were walking in the Swifts with a couple of damsels at rather an unseasonable hour. These persons declare that they saw the prisoners cut the throat of the animal and take it away. J. GREENER, a coal-miner, was recently so dreadfully burnt by an explosion of inflammable air in Bottle-bank Pit, Whitehaven, that he died on Saturday last, after having endured great agony. Saturday last, at Whitehaven, a boy of the name of GRAHAM, aged nine years, fell from a cart (containing two hogsheads of sugar), which unfortunately passed over his body and one of his legs, which was fractured and dreadfully lacerated. He was immediately conveyed to the workhouse, where every attention was paid by Mr. E. DAWSON, jun., the Surgeon of the House, assisted by Mr. DAWSON, sen., and Mr. THOMPSON, surgeons. After a deliberate consultation, it was thought useless to resort to amputation: he died on Wednesday from general mortification, and a Coroner's Inquest sat on the body the next day, when the jury brought in their verdict-accidental death. There was a pretty good take of Herrings on the west coast on Thursday night-several boats took seven or eight maze (a maze is 500.) James WATSON, for forgery, and George BURRELL, for burglary, sentenced to be transported at the last Appleby Gaol Delivery, were removed from thence, on Monday se'nnight, for that purpose. On Saturday last, the body of Mr. Thomas MOORE, Deputy Harbour-master of the port of Workington, was found on the beach, near that port. He was seen walking towards the shore about five o'clock in the morning, but the cause that led to the melancholy event cannot be ascertained. A Coroner's Inquest was held on the body, whose verdict was-Found Drowned. Yesterday week, a Roman Urn was dug up in a field belonging to the Earl of Lonsdale, at Limore head, in Moresby, near Whitehaven: and at the same time some human bones were discovered, the largest fragment of which is part of a tibia, or shin-bone. The place bears evident marks of a tumulus; but the Urn, which is of coarse baked clay, much ornamented, was unfortunately broken into numerous pieces.-It is probable these relics have lain there for at least fourteen hundred years. The field in which they were found is part of the estate of Hunting How. Thursday evening, the 10th inst. a young girl of the name of Margaret YARE, maid servant to Mr. HARRISON, of Crackenthorpe Hall, was found drowned in the river Eden, not far from Bongate mill, near Appleby.-The conjecture is, that as the unfortunate girl was much subject to a giddiness and swimming in the head she had insensibly fallen into the water. The verdict of the Coroner's jury was-Found Drowned. The Kendal and Lancaster Canal was opened for navigation on Friday the 18th inst. A general bustle prevailed throughout Kendal; all business was suspended, the shops were closed, and every one seemed anxious to witness the pleasing and novel spectacle, and many parties dined together to celebrate the event. Robbery and Attempt to Murder.-On Tuesday morning week, an Irishman of the name of David GALLACHAR, who traffics a little in Irish goods, was robbed and attempted to be murdered by two countrymen of his own, upon the Corse of Slakes, between Gatehouse and Creetown, on the old road. They robbed him of four guinea notes and a few shillings, being all the money he had upon him at the time. He was so severely handled and beat, that they threw him over the dyke on the roadside, and heaped stones upon him, concluding that he was dead; after lying, however, for sometime in that position, he recovered strength sufficient to enable him to get to a cottage, about a mile from the place where he was assaulted, from which place he was conveyed to Creetown, and had his wounds dressed by Mr. HERRIES, surgeon there, who says that if he had not been blessed with a particularly strong constitution, he could not have survived the treatment he received. GALLACHAR says that he fell in with the men the night before at a lodging-house in Gatehouse, who informed him they were also on their way to Ireland, and of course started together in the morning, intending to be at Newton-Stewart to breakfast. Melancholy Accident.-On Wednesday evening se'nnight, as David IRVING, farmer, Ernhirst, parish of Mouswald, was returning from Dumfries seated on the fore-bar of his cart, he lost his balance and falling betwixt the shaft and the horse's feet, the wheel went over his body and cut his skull in a dreadful manner. The deceased was conveyed to his own house, where medical aid was immediately procured; but his skull had been so severely fractured that it even retained the mark of a stone upon which he had fallen, and he lingered until Friday, when he died. The Bill for preventing persons banished from Scotland taking up their residence in England or Ireland, has been read a third time and passed. By this Bill, Sheriffs of counties are empowered to sentence criminals to transportation beyond seas. Attempted Suicide at York.-The head clerk at the York Post Office attempted suicide on Wednesday evening, by cutting his throat. He was discovered before life was extinct, and medical assistance immediately procured. It is expected he will recover. A few weeks ago, along with several others, he was summoned to give evidence on a trial in London, against a person who had committed a robbery on the General Post Office. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to die: and it is probable the circumstance may have affected his mind.

Petra A consul isn’t a diplomat. Instead he’s a agent looking after the routine business affairs for a country. For this reason, they’re often local businessmen and would assist the skippers of ships in their dealings with the local authorities. When Britain introduced formal “crew agreements” for British ships, the skippers had to get them stamped by the harbour master in every British (Empire) port, and by the British Consul in foreign ports. The majority of British crew agreements are now held in the “Maritime History Archive, Memorial University, St John’s, Newfoundland. Using these, I was able to trace my German Great Grandfather as a seaman on British ships back, voyage by voyage, until he first signed as crew of a British ship in Hamburg. The harbourmaster and consular stamps on the crew agreements allowed me to see when and to where he sailed on these voyages. One voyage in the 1880s was from Cardiff to Pireaus, and onto Taganrog at the mouth of the River Don on the Sea of Azov and then back to Cardiff.
