Saturday 05 Jun 1819 (p. 2, col. 6 - p. 3, col. 1) Melancholy Catastrophe.-On Monday night last, Mr. FRODE, of Rabywhaite, Mr. GRAHAM, of the cross-keys public house, Dumfries, Mr. FERGUSON, of Oaks-hill, near Dumfries, and Mr. PATRICKSON, of Lochmaben, after crossing the Solway Firth on horseback, between Bowness and Annan, unfortunately lost their way upon the sands in consequence of a thick fog, and wandered back into the tide, which came in very rapidly, impelled by a strong wind, and all perished! Another person (the son of Mr. GRAHAM abovementioned) who was in company, would have shared the same fate had it not been for the spirit and strength of his horse. They were on their return home from Rosley Hill fair. All the bodies have been found, except that of Mr. FERGUSON. Yesterday, being the anniversary of our afflicted monarch's birth day, the flag was displayed at the castle, and a considerable number of gentlemen met the Mayor at the Town Hall, in the afternoon, when after drinking "The King," and his worship's health, the whole adjourned to the King's Arms, and spent a few hours very pleasantly. As soon as the London Mail arrived, the usual exhibition of Messrs. WILSON and FAIRBAIRN's coaches and excellent stud of horses took place. The procession consisted of seven coaches, decorated with flags, drawn by 28 horses, in fine condition, preceded and followed by two guards on horseback. Few country establishments of the kind could produce a similar display, for, be it recollected, a number of coaches and horses are always absent in all directions. The troop of the 18th Hussars under Major KENNEDY, which was detained here last week at the request of the magistrates, marched on Thursday on their route for Liverpool, to embark for Dublin, and were succeeded by a troop of the 6th Dragoon Guards, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel FRENCH.-A company of infantry is expected here from Sunderland. Mr. EMMERSON, of Blackwell Hall, near this City, commenced the cutting of clover on Tuesday last-a fine heavy crop. The sharp frosts with which we were visited a few nights ago, have done considerable injury to the early potatoes, clover, &c. The weather is now more genial, and vegetation makes rapid progress. Saturday evening last, Mr. THOMLINSON, toll-gate keeper at Hesket, died while riding home from Carlisle market in a cart, unknown to several persons who were in the same vehicle. The Whitehaven Pitt Club held their annual dinner on Friday week, at the Black Lion, Sir Joseph SENHOUSE in the Chair. Thirty-two gentlemen were present. Committed to Carlisle Gaol.-Jane GILLESPIE, charged with stealing 6 yards of printed cotton from the shop of Messrs. HESLOP and LITTLE, of this City; Henry SCOTT, of Tallentire, labourer, charged upon the oath of George M'KANE, and others, with stealing a sheep; and Margaret CARR, for stealing one piece of printed calico from the shop of Mr. Wm. LONGCAKE, of Workington. A number of servants of both sexes attended our hiring day, on Saturday last. Many went home as they came, but those who were hired, obtained wages fully as high, generally speaking, as were given last year. Singular Produce of Nature.-Last week, at Wigton, a cat kittened a kitten with two bodies, two necks, one head, eight legs, and one tail. It lived only a few hours, but is now preserved and in the possession of Mr. HUDSON, Brewer, of Wigton, who will be glad to shew it to any person fond of seeing such "freaks of nature." Mr. TOPPING has determined to retire from the bar, from ill health, which for some time past has reduced him to a weak and precarious state. On Tuesday the 18th ult. a child, only four years old, strayed from its mother, who was procuring turf from the neighbourhood of Croasdale, in Ennerdale; and, notwithstanding the most diligent search was immediately made by a considerable number of benevolent persons, the infant (an interesting little girl) was not found until the following Sunday. Though the weather was remarkably cold and rainy, the poor unsheltered little innocent, protected by that "kind Being, who is a friend to the friendless," slept unconscious of the "pelting of the pitiless storm." She was found about two miles only from the turf, lying on the ground near a brook, with one foot in the water, extremely languid, but perfectly sensible. On being questioned she complained of being hungry, said she laid down when she was tired, and when it grew dark, she shut her eyes and did not waken until it was light. She saw a man with a black dog (one of those who voluntarily went in search of her) but she was afraid and hid herself, because she could not see her father. The anxiety of her distressed parents during this dreadful suspense of five days and nights, may be imagined, but cannot be described.-We are happy to add, that the child is recovered, and enjoys good health;-these facts were communicated to us by her father.-Whitehaven Gazette.

Saturday 29 May 1819 (p. 3, col. 2) COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 12th, 1819. KIRKBANK v. HUDSON. This was a suit arising out of the will of the late Rev. Richard DICKINSON of Carlisle. The case was conducted by Mr. JERVIS and Mr. HARRISON for the plaintiffs, and Mr. MARTIN and Mr. LYNCH were Counsel for the defendants. It appeared from the pleadings, that Mr. DICKINSON, the testator, who died in October 1816, possessed of personal property to the amount of £5000, had bequeathed the same to trustees "to be a perpetual endowment or maintenance for two schools, one in the parish of Lamplugh, and the other in the parish of Castlecarrock, both in the county of Cumberland. By another clause in his will he recommended that at a convenient time his money should be collected together and laid out in the purchase of a freehold messuage and tenement, or lands, to be a perpetual endowment for the said two schools. The next of kin, therefore, had filed a bill, praying that the above bequest for the endowments of the schools might be declared void, being within the policy of the act of 9 Geo. 2nd, cap. 36, commonly called the Mortmain Act, which was made to restrain persons from disposing of real estates to charitable uses, except by deed executed twelve months before the deaths of the donor; and that the executors might be directed to pay over and divide the testator's personal estate amongst them, according to the statute of distributions, in the same manner as if he had died intestate. Mr. MARTIN, on the part of the executors, admitted that the bequest was void so far as related to that part of the testator's personal estate which at the time of his decease was secured by mortgages of real property; but he contended that money out at interest upon bonds and promissory notes (as was partly the case in this instance) might legally be left by will to charitable uses, and that although the will contained a clause recommending the money to be laid out in land, yet that such clause was by no means imperative upon the trustees, but left it entirely in their discretion to purchase land or not as might appear most advantageous to the contemplated charity. Mr. MARTIN also cited a number of cases in which it had been held that bequests of money for charitable purposes, particularly for endowing schools, were legal and valid. Mr. JERVIS, for the next of kin, contended that the bequest was evidently within the policy of the Mortmain Act, and that the words "I recommend" clearly shewed the wish and intention of the testator that his money should be invested in land; and therefore bound the executors to act in conformity thereto, as much as if he had expressly required them so to invest it. The learned Counsel, therefore, submitted with confidence, that the bequest was void. The LORD CHIEF BARON, in delivering the judgment of the Court, took a comprehensive view of all the cases decided under the Mortmain Act, and entered very minutely into the arguments which had been used on both sides, and in conclusion his Lordship saidIt is admitted on all hands that the bequest is void so far as regards the mortgages, and the only remaining question is as to the residue of the testator's personal estate. Now the bequest of this residue to the charity is quite complete in the former part of the will, and would most certainly have been valid, if the clause recommending it to be invested in land had been omitted. It has, however, been held that the words "I request" in a will are binding upon the executors; and, agreeable to all the decisions, I am of opinion that the words in this will "I recommend at a convenient time," must mean as soon as a suitable purchase could be found, and are imperative upon the executors. This bequest is, therefore, as void as a devise of lands for the same purpose would have been, and the executors must account with the next of kin for the whole of the personal estate, whether secured by mortgages or otherwise.

PETTY SESSIONS / PENRITH / ..........Part 2 TWO BOYS CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING A LITTLE GIRL. – Two boys, named JOHN LAMONBY and GEORGE BRAGG, of Stockdalewath, were charged with assaulting a little girl, eleven years of age, named SARAH CAIN, who resides in the same village, on the 14th inst., MR. S. K. JAMES appeared to prosecute, and MR. T. J. SCOTT was retained for the defence. According to the evidence, it appeared that the girl was going along the road to cut brackens, and sat down to rest near the gate leading to the dwelling of one of the boys. The defendants in a short time came up, and said to her that her father had stolen some window blinds. She said he had not, and one of the defendants then seized hold of her and the other struck her a violent blow in the face, causing her nose to bleed, and it continued to do so for some hours afterwards. MR. SCOTT made an ingenious defence, ridiculing the idea that a brutal assault such as had been described had been committed. The defendants were permitted to give their version of the affray. BRAGG said as they were going along the road to fetch the cows, they met SARAH CAIN, who said he was going to thrash every man in Stockdalewath. LAMONBY said he did not believe it, and throwing his hand back, accidently hit the girl upon the nose. LAMONBY made substantially the same statement with the addition that the girl made use of very bad language. The Bench said they could not shut their eyes to the fact that a very savage assault had been committed upon the girl, and they therefore must put the law in force. She being of a tender age, it made the case difficult to deal with. They must pay a fine of 5s. each and costs – in all 11s. 3d. each. A fortnight was given in which to pay the money, and in default to be imprisoned for a month in Carlisle Gaol. __________________________________________________________________ TRESPASSING IN PURSUIT OF GAME. - WM. SAUNDERS and JOSEPH SEATREE, miners, in the parish of Alston, were charged on the information of JOSEPH HEWITSON, gamekeeper, with having in the daytime, on the 5th of September, trespassed in pursuit of game on the land in the occupation of MR. JOHN DAVIDSON and MR. SHEPHERD, at Ousby. JOSEPH WESTMORLAND, innkeeper, of Ousby, said on Saturday, the 5th of September, from information he received, he went down to Ousby Moor, and saw two men in a field belonging to MR. JOSEPH SHEPHERD, over which he (witness) had the right of shooting. They had each a gun and a setter dog with them. They got over the hedge into a field on the Crewgarth estate, which belongs to Skirwith Abbey. One of the men then fired a shot and then stooped down as if in the act of picking something up. Witness then went home and saw the defendants there. SAUNDERS asked him what kind of sport he had had, and he replied that he could not have had much after they had been scanging over the land before. They had each a gun with them, and game in a bag. SEATREE said that he had never shot game in his life, and had merely accompanied the other defendant in order to carry and load the guns for him. SAUNDERS denied having fired a shot upon the Skirwith estate. The Bench considered the offence proved, and fined SAUNDERS £1 and costs; and SEATREE 5s. and costs. MR. W. R. ARNISON conducted the prosecution. ___________________________________________________________________ ASSAULT BY A NAVVY. – RICHARD TAYLOR, engaged upon the new railway at Longwathby, was charged with having violently assaulted FREDRICK GULLERIDGE, also a labourer upon the line. Complainant said on Monday morning he was sitting upon the railway bank partaking of his breakfast, when the defendant threw three penny pieces at him, and afterwards a turnip. None of these hit him, and on complainant saying if he did not give over he would send some one after him, defendant came and seized him by the whiskers, and struck his head six or seven times against some timber. He then got up and went away, but was followed by defendant who struck him a violent blow upon the cheek. Fines £1 and costs, in default a month’s imprisonment with hard labour. ___________________________________________________________________ A HABITUAL DRUNKARD. – JOHN POLLARD, butcher, of Penrith, who has been several times convicted, was ordered to be sent to prison for a calendar month with hard labour for drunk and disorderly conduct. ==================================================================== barb, ontario, canada.
PETTY SESSIONS. PENRITH – TUESDAY LAST. (Before J. JAMESON, Esq., REV. J. HYRHAM, GENERAL BROUGHAM, W.HARRISON, Esq., HON. A. ERSKINE; J. THOMPSON, Esq., and J. UNSWORTH, Esq.) ALLEGED ILLEGAL TREATMENT OF A SERVANT. – JOHN ELLIOTT, farmer, of Gamblesby, was summoned by MARY WHITE, of Great Salkeld, for having, on the 17th September last, assaulted her, and been guilty of other misbehaviour, in consequence of which she was obliged to leave her service, and she claimed £10 compensation. MR. E. WESTMORLAND appeared for plaintiff, and MR. T. J. SCOTT for defendant. MR. E. WESTMORLAND having stated the facts which he intended to prove, called the plaintiff, who said she was at present living with her mother at Great Salkeld, who had had this year two sunstrokes, and was in receipt of parish relief. She (complainant) was hired by defendant, who was a farmer, butcher, and statesman, in Penrith market, at Whitsuntide last, until Martimas, for £10 the half-year. On the 17th September her mistress ordered her to go into the garden and take the weeds from under some berry bushes. She did as requested, and her mistress in the afternoon, after an examination told her that the work was not half done. This accusation she remonstrated against, and said all she had allowed to remain was some mint. Her mistress told her the mint was a weed,d and it ought to have been removed. In the evening, whilst in the house going about her work, her mistress ran up against her “by purpose”, and on being asked to be let alone, her mistress seized her round the waist with one hand and with the other tore her bedgown and scratched her arm. When they were quarrelling, her mistress sent her daughter to the stackyard to bring her father came, and without saying a word put her forcibly out of the house. When outside, he told her to get her clothes as fast as possible and go away. At that time she did as she was ordered, but after consulting a policeman in a neighbouring village, she returned and asked her master if she might start work again, and he replies, “No, you may go where you like”. She asked for her wages, and her master replies, “No, I will not pay a farthing until I am forced. Her master then assisted to bring her box remaining there still. From MR. SCOTT’s opening statement and the evidence he produced, it appeared that complainant was a most violent character, and had not only been in three situations the previous half-year, none of which she could retain, but that in July last she was discharged by MR. ELLIOT for habitual misconduct and refusing to obey the head-man or any one about the place. She, however became penitent, and her appeal to be taken back was acceded to. For some time afterwards her conduct was much better, and nothing of a serious character occurred until the day in question, when, on being told the weeding had not been properly done, she flew into a violent passion, called her mistress an old devil, and used other opprobrious epithets, and threatened to smash her master’s daughter's mouth if she dared to say a word. She then seized a stick and aimed a blow at her mistress, who fortunately placed a door between herself and complainant. When MR. ELLIOT arrived upon the scene, he told her that they could not have such conduct there, and she answered “there is not a devil of you can put me out”. Her conduct at times was so violent that she did not appear responsible for her actions, and MRS. ELLIOT and family being afraid to live in the same house with her, MR. ELLIOT told her she must leave, and he would pay her wages up to the time she had served. She said she would have the whole or nothing at all; and then left. After a short consultation, the Bench dismissed the complaint, and ordered MR. ELLIOT to pay the girl her wages up to the time she had served, with the exception of 10s. which were to go towards paying the expenses which he had incurred in defending the action. _______________________________________________________________ ..........Part 2 of PETTY SESSIONS / PENRITH will follow. _______________________________________________________________ barb, ontario, canada.

Saturday 29 May 1819 (p. 3, col. 1-2 + 5) Mr. YEWDALE's Ball was held on Wednesday evening, in the Assembly-room, at the King's Head Inn, Appleby: there was a most numerous attendance of both beauty and fashion. The Carlisle Gas Light Bill has received the royal assent. Mr. CHAPMAN, the engineer, arrived here on Thursday, and yesterday he commenced marking out the line of Canal near Bowness. This most important undertaking will commence without delay. Carlisle has been plentifully supplied with very fine herrings this week, caught in the Solway Frith, which met with a ready sale at about a penny each. Some herrings were taken so high up the Solway as Burgh Marsh, a circumstance of rare occurrence. Mr. PARKINS left Carlisle on Thursday, for the North. We are sorry to hear that Mr. WATSON, of Cliburn Hall, was killed by a fall from his horse on Saturday night last, as he was returning home from some sports which had taken place at Gamblesby. Two young men, joiners, have been committed to Appleby gaol, charged with robbing a man called DEMPSTER, on the road between Kirkbythore and Templesowerby, on Tuesday night last, of a pocket book, containing about fifteen pounds in Bank notes. The Canal at Kendal is shortly to be opened, on which occasion, it is understood, there will be a public celebration. The remains of the late Duke of Buccleugh, which were landed at Portsmouth last week, will be interred at Edinburgh. There have emigrated from the ports of Dumfries-shire for America, since the commencement of the season, 624 persons, of all descriptions. Three men and a woman have been committed at Dumfries, for robbing the house of Rob. TAYLOR, Esq. at Summerville, of various articles of wearing apparel, &c. in a very dextrous manner. A number of other thefts have been committed, it is supposed, by the same parties. The Polly Peachum of the gang is young and handsome-one man has escaped. Mary MURRAY, widow, otherwise called Mary LOVE, wife of James LOVE, late of Byker, labourer, and Margaret CROW, widow, have been committed at Newcastle for uttering forged notes of the British Linen Company. One morning, last week, James HAMILTON was found in his cabin, near the staith of Newbottle Colliery, weltering in his blood, his head being dreadfully fractured, and he expired shortly afterwards. The perpetrator of this atrocious act is supposed to be a fellow mamed [sic] KING, who had been permitted by the deceased, out of compassion, to lie in his cabin the two or three previous nights, and who represented himself as a shipwrecked sailor, in great distress. The same night, Thomas BOLTON, a labourer at Burdon Main Colliery, was knocked down while on his way home to Newcastle, by a man dressed in sailor's clothes (supposed to be the above-named KING), who most barbarously cut and maimed him, and when found on the following morning, he was nearly lifeless. On Saturday week, Lieut. STEWART, accompanied by two young ladies, Miss BROOKS, daughter of Mr. James BROOKS, of Musselburgh, and Miss Agnes BROOKS, daughter of Mr. Wm. BROOKS, of the same place, who were on a visit at Cockburnspath, Berwickshire, having gone out in a fishing-boat, for a pleasure sail, with a sailor boy, were overtaken by a sudden squall, which upset the boat, and the Lieutenant and the two ladies were unfortunately drowned. The boy with much difficulty saved himself.

Saturday 22 May 1819 (p. 3, col. 1-2) The wheat is in a very forward state in this county, and in some places rye has shot into ear. On Thursday and yesterday, we were favoured, in this neighbourhood, with copious falls of rain, which were much wanted. Mr. CHAPELHOW, printer, Appleby, has been appointed post-master of that place, in the room of Captain AIREY, who has resigned. The officers of several parishes in this county, have already put the new act in force, by removing natives of Ireland and Scotland of short residence who were burthensome. Nothing of the kind has yet been done in Carlisle. Gormandizing.On Monday last, a young man of Wigton, by trade a clogger, undertook, for a wager of five shillings, to eat 36 penny pies, in one hour and a half, weighing 7lb. 3oz. This tender-stomached young man devoured the first 12 in five minutes, but being in rather too great a hurry, he got clogged in his business, and only accomplished 24½ in the given timeconsequently he lost the wager, and also the value of the pies, to the satisfaction of all who witnessed the transaction. On Monday last, as a number of boys were playing near to the mill wheel of Gamblesby mill, near Aikton, in this county, one of them, about nine years of age, the son of John SCOTT, of Gamblesby, unfortunately fell into the mill race, and was crushed to death by the mill wheel, before any assistance could be rendered; the mill was completely stopped, and the body could not got out till a part of the wheel had been broken. ASCENSION DAY, a kind of Saturnalia among the freemen of Carlisle, was celebrated on Thursday, with the accustomed carousings. Early in the morning, the flags were hung out at the windows of the different Guilds, and the drum and fife went about the streets to give the 'note of preparation.' At eight o'clock, the principal gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood breakfasted with the Mayor, at his house in Fisher-street, according to public invitation: the number present was greater than has attended a similar repast for many years. About nine, the cavalcade of coaches, chaises, gigs, equestrians, and pedestrians started for Kingmoor, where a substantial cold collation awaited those why chose to partake of it. The races soon commenced: five horses were entered for the Mayor's Saddle, and the result was as follows: Mr. RIGG's gr. m. (from the Abbey Holme) 1 Mr. J. ROBINSON's b. h. Paddy 2 Mr. WILKINSON's br. m. 3 Mr. LEIGHTON's br. m. 4 Mr. IRVING's gr. m. fell. Six men had levelled the course the on preceding day by order of the Mayor, and such excellent running was never before seen at Kingmoor. At starting, Paddy was the favourite, but the little grey mare beat him in fine style, to the no small mortification of those in the secret, who, it is said, made no very profitable day's work of it. The bridle was won by Mr. WILKINSON's br. m. and the spurs by Mr. SOWERBY: this last race was merely a matter of form. About twelve, there were foot races on the Sands, for prizes given by the Mayor, but the sport was very miserable. George ELLWOOD walked over for the belt and steel. The first hat was won by John HYSLOP, and the second hat by George M'KINNEY. At three o'clock, the Mayor, attended by several members of the Corporation, and various gentlemen, visited the Guilds; as did also a number of the friends of J. C. CURWEN, Esq.Mr. PARKINS, arriving from London just in the nick of time, also paid the freemen a visit, and afterwards addressed an assemblage from the market-cross steps. A party of gentlemen, about 50 in number, dined with the Mayor at the Bush Inn. The dinner and wines were excellent, several good songs were sung, and the evening was spent with great hilarity. About the same number of Mr. CURWEN's friends dined at the Coffee House, John CHRISTIAN, Esq. in the chair. The usual toasts were given, and various gentlemen exercised their vocal powers much to the satisfaction of the company. On Monday afternoon George BROWN, a cotton-spinner, residing in Rickergate, was drowned in the Eden, behind the Swifts, while bathing. Several persons were not far off at the time of the accident, and among them, Sir C. STYLES, Bart. who made the most praise-worthy exertions to rescue the sufferer, but without effect. On Tuesday last, Jenny MANDALE, put a period to her existence by hanging herself in a pantry, at New Mill, in the parish of Ponsonby. She was upwards of seventy years of age, and the motive of committing the rash deed is entirely unknown. Last week, as Mr. George WYLIE, of Innerwell, was (what is called) fishing his nets for salmon, he discovered an adder two feet long, which he killed. At Garliestown, a few days previous, a girl named Jane BIGGS, gathered on the sea-shore some sea-weed or wreck, for burning, some of which she put upon the fire, and in a little time an adder came out of it, which was also killed. What happened to Paul in the island of Melita, will immediately recur to the reader's mind. On Monday last, a blind horse, in a cart, belonging to Mr. James FITZSIMMONS, fell over the Old Tongue, at Whitehaven, and though the height was 20 feet, neither horse nor cart were injured. A serious accident took place on Tuesday last, at Kendal. A man fired at some rats, in the King's Arms yard, when the gun burst, and part of the contents hit a child on the head, while in its father's arms, and wounded it very severely; but we are happy to hear that the child is likely to recover. There is now in the possession of Mr. WOOD, of Cockermouth, a ewe, which last year yeaned two lambs; the same lambs have this year produced two each, and the same ewe, three lambs. In two days, last week, Mr. John BIRKETT, farmer, at Harrington Parks, with the assistance of his neighbours, ploughed, sowed, and harrowed forty acres of land, on Stainburn Common. Within these ten days, two vessels have sailed from the ports of this county, bound to British America with passengers; and another is nearly ready for sea. An ox, bred and fed by Mr. FAULDER, of Ronaldsway in the Isle of Man, (late of Carlisle), was slaughtered last week in Douglas.The carcase, when dressed, weighed 16001b,the tallow 200, the hide 130, the heart 13, the head and tongue 56, total, 1999 lbs. On Tuesday week, a young man named CLOSE, employed in the brick-yards of Messrs FLETCHER and Co. near Newcastle, undertook for a trifling wager to make 7,000 bricks in 15 hours, which task he accomplished in less than 12. In the first 7 hours he made 4,350, being rather more than 620 in an hour.

Saturday 15 May 1819 (p. 3, col. 6) SHIPPING. Advice has been received at Lloyd's, "that the Traveller, LLOYD, belonging to Workington, from Demerara bound to London, had put into Margaretta, on the Spanish Main, and was discharging her cargo, but for what reason was unknown." No advice has been received, as yet, that the "Captain was selling the cargo," as erroneously stated in the Whitehaven Gazette.-The Lea frigate is daily expected from that station, when further accounts may be expected. Sunday night, being exceedingly dark, the Defence cutter ran ashore in Saltom Bay, but the wind blowing from the Southward, she was got off without damage.

NEWS ITEMS. OPENING OF THE ORGAN OF CHRIST CHURCH, PENRITH – Some time ago a movement was set on foot by the minister, the REV. J. R. WOOD, and the members of the church to procure funds to purchase an organ to improve the psalmody. So liberally were their efforts seconded that the committee found themselves in a position to purchase an instrument. The opening services took place on Thursday afternoon, MR. FREEMAN, of Keswick, presiding at the organ, and he was well supported by an excellent choir. The sermon was preached by the REV. W. M. FULLOON, Hon. Canon of Chester, Incumbent of St. Bride’s Liverpool. In the evening a recital of sacred music was given by MR. P. T. FREEMAN. The congregations both in the afternoon and the evening, were large, and collections were made towards defraying the cost of the organ. APPLE STEALING AT CROSBY GARRETT. – On Saturday last, as P. C. LANCASTER was patrolling the village of Crosby Garrett, where there are a number of fine productive orchards, he came upon and captured three or four men employed on the railway, who not only had a large quantity of fruit in their possession, but were busily engaged increasing their illegal stock. The owners of the orchard where the culprits had been at work were informed of the depredations, but being full to the brim of the “milk of human kindness”, they declined to prosecute, and to the inexpressible relief of the culprits, the rogues were set at liberty. This, however, reflects none the less credit on the worthy constable for his vigilance. WESTMORLAND AND KENDAL DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY The annual exhibition in connection with the above Society was held on Thursday at Kendal, in the show-field near the railway station. The weather in the morning being most favourable large numbers from the surrounding districts visited the town, and the receipts at the gate were highly satisfactory.The first prize for shorthorn bulls of two and not exceeding six years, fell to MR. HANDLEY’s “Earl of Derwent”, MR. FRANCIS PARKER, Acorn Bank, Templesowerby, being second with “Pure Gold” and MR. JOHN RELPH, Meaburn Hall, third with “Gondolier”. For shorthorn cows not under three years old, MR. G. ASHBURNER, Low Hall, Broughton-in-Furness, secured first honours with “Duchess of Kirkby”, and MR. JOHN RICHARDSON, of Penrith, was second with “Rosebud”. Amongst horses the first prize for hackneys was taken by MR. RIGG, Grange Hotel, and the second by MR. JOHN FENTON, Frenchfield, Penrith. COL. RIGG, Crossrigg Hale, took the first prize for three year-old geldings of fillies for Agricultural purposes, and a third for brood mares in the same section. “Iron King”, the property of MR. HUTTON, Milnthorpe, was adjudged the first prize in the class of Hunters; and MR.WILSON, of Rigmaden, won the prize for leaping. ============================================================== barb, ontario, canada.
