Thank you, David. I'm pleased the transcription gave you new information! Was this either David's or Mary's second marriage? Otherwise this age difference with the wife being older was (and still is) quite unusual.

Saturday 03 Apr 1819 (p. 2, col. 5-6) We are requested to state, that Mr. MIDFORD ATKINSON, of Carlisle, is constantly supplied by the London Genuine Tea Company with their unadulterated Teas, moulded up in Lead Cases, in Pounds, Halves, and Quarters, (without extra charge) sealed with the Company's Seal, and they wish the Public to be informed, that though this Establishment commenced only in November, their Teas are already drank by more than Seventy Thousand Families.-See advt. We understand that a paragraph which appeared in our last paper relative to the number of gentlemen stated to have been summoned on the Grand Jury, has been, by some persons, considered as having an invidious meaning. We are sorry for this, and declare, thus publicly, that our only intention was to communicate a piece of information. The Sheriff, at first, not wishing to put the gentlemen in the western part of the county to the expence of a Journey to Carlisle, only summoned in the two wards mentioned.-Conceiving, however, that this arrangement might not prove generally agreeable, he, on Friday, summoned the usual number from the other wards the same as is done at the regular assizes. The cause, Andrew PHILLIPS, v. J. M. HEAD and W. WOOD, as assignees of A. and J. PHILLIPS, came on at Lancaster on Thursday afternoon; and after a very short hearing, the Plaintiff was nonsuited. The Quarterly Meeting of the Carlisle Diocesan Committee, in aid of the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge, was holden yesterday, in the Town-Hall, the Rev. the Chancellor, in the chair; when the usual routine of business was transacted. Since the last meeting, the following gentlemen have been proposed as members of the Society:-The Rev. Jonathan WILSON, Burgh-by-Sands; Mr. William NORMAN, Solicitor, Carlisle; Mr. John STUDHOLME, St. Nicholas. On Wednesday last, Mary SINGLETON was committed to Carlisle gaol, for stealing gloves out of the shop of Mr. BUCKHAM, at Whitehaven. At Maryport, on Tuesday last, there were eight children lying dead of the measles. They are also prevalent in Carlisle. Mr. Robert BOWMAN of Irthington, near this City, who is now one hundred and thirteen years and four months old, is still healthy and as cheerful as when we published a biographical account of him about a year and a half ago. On Sunday last, he was visited by a small party of gentlemen belonging to this City. They found him comfortably stretched upon his couch in a snug corner near the fire-place. His sight is still very good, and his hearing so perfect, that he can, at night, distinguish the ticking of a watch at the other end of the room, which is not a very small one, and this so distinctly, that he considers it "his company." Though he is now incapable of walking, he feels no want of spirits; he laughs and jokes, and answers all questions with clearness of recollection, and a heartiness of manner, truly interesting. Several incidents of the rebellion of 1715 are still fresh in his memory; and during that of 1745, having gone to Carlisle out of curiosity when the Duke of Cumberland sat down before the City, he was compelled, with many other men from the country, to work in the trenches. It cheers one's heart to contemplate this venerable relic of "times long gone by." His hilarity and cheerful content can only be exceeded by the filial care which is manifested towards him by his children, who, course, are all pretty far advanced in life, though Mr. BOWMAN did not leave the state of single blessedness till he approached the age of sixty: six sons were the fruits of this marriage, and they are all living. On Saturday night last, several vessels lying in the South harbour, Whitehaven, were broken into and robbed of a quantity of seamen's clothes. Mr. Thomas GIBSON butcher, Whitehaven, has had a living cuckoo in his house all the winter, which he obtained when young last summer. Sometimes it was brisk and sung, or rather called; at other times it was in a very low and weak state. At a late inspection, eleven different shopkeepers in Cockermouth were found to possess defective weights or measures. When the consequent convictions take place, their names will be made public. Lucius CONCANNON, Esq. having accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, a new writ has been ordered for the election of another member for Appleby. Sunday se'nnight, Mr. WOMACK, house steward to his late Grace the Duke of Hamilton, put a period to his existence by shooting himself through the head, at Ashton Hall, near Lancaster. John BOND, Esq. is elected an Alderman of the Borough of Lancaster, in the room of John BALDWIN, Esq. deceased. Saturday se'nnight, an inquest was taken at Douglas, Isle of Man, on the body of John HOULDERSER, a man belonging to a Liverpool trawl-boat, when it was found, after the strictest examination of evidence, that his death was occasioned by excessive drinking on the preceding day and evening.

On Saturday last, at Endmore, near Kendal, Mr. Wm. WHITHEAD, carpenter, in the prime of life. The town of Leeds has this week experienced an unspeakable loss in the death of its celebrated surgeon, William HEY, Esq., F. R. S. at the advanced age of 82. The professional eminence of this gentleman is well known; nor was he less distinguished by general knowledge, soundness of judgment, and Christian principle; qualities which enabled him to discharge, in the most exemplary manner, the private duties of a master of a family, and the public functions of a magistrate; and which rendered him, during the long period of sixty years, an ornament and a blessing to society. At Dumfries, on Tuesday morning, Janet, wife of the Rev. Dr. SCOT, Minister of St. Michael's Church, in that town.-On the 20th curt.

Saturday 27 Mar 1819 (p. 3, col. 3) List of Prisoners to be tried at the General Gaol Delivery at Carlisle, on Thursday the 1st of April: 1. Richard HODGSON, aged 18, for stealing in the dwelling-house of W. ATKINSON, Penrith, a £20 and one £10 bank note, and a bank post bill value £10. 2.

Jane Jackson COWAN, aged 21; Mary GRAHAM, aged 23, and John JOHNSTON, aged 18, for stealing a linen sheet from the dwelling-house of Ambrose BOUSTEAD, in Carlisle. 13. Chris.

Adam MURRAY, aged 37, for stealing a heifer in the parish of Stanwix, the property of Jas. RAE. At York Assizes an innkeeper named James SHAW recovered £l3 17s. 6d. from a person named Marmaduke HORSLEY, for particulars some of which excited much merriment in court: one item was, "To damage done to the bed you slept on £2;" another, "To a man for picking you up on the road and rubbing you down with straw, 1s." The Chief Baron, who tried the cause, lamented that its being undefended deprived the court and the country of a further warning insight into the just consequences of excessive drunkenness! On Tuesday evening se'nnight, the shepherd of Mr. R. ROBINSON, of Helsington Laiths, near Kendal, went to view and count his master's flock. Finding one of the number to be wanting, and looking attentively for it, he at last heard a sheep bleat, when to his great surprise he observed the poor animal at the top of an ash tree covered with ivy, seven yards from the ground, from which elevated station it seemed to beg for immediate assistance. The shepherd being afraid to undertake the task himself, went home for the aid of his fellow-servant, who, not giving credit to his account, at first refused to accompany himbut being at length prevailed upon to go, the sheep was brought in safety down from his perilous situation.
Saturday 27 Mar 1819 (p. 3, col. 1-2) Mr. RAINE will open the Special Commission here on Thursday next. We shall present our readers with a report of the business which may come before the Court up to its rising on Friday evening. The Rev. Walter FLETCHER, Chancellor of the Diocese, will preach before Jonathan RAINE, Esq. and the High Sheriff. Adam MURRAY has been committed to Carlisle gaol, charged with stealing an heifer from Stanwix, the property of Mr. James RAE, of Wheelbarrow Hall. On Thursday, sixteen new freemen were admitted to the freedom of the City of Carlisle, on which occasion, forty-three persons sat down to dinner at Miss JOHNSTON's, the Queen's Head, the Mayor in the Chair. Only 24 persons have been summoned on the Grand Jury for the ensuing gaol delivery, and these wholly from the Cumberland and Eskdale wards. The High Sheriff has issued the usual invitation to the gentlemen of the grand jury, and in the commission of the peace, to dine with him at the Coffee-house on Thursday next. On Wednesday last, a numerous and respectable company dined at the Grey Goat, for the purpose of welcoming Mr. Robert ANDERSON, the ingenious author of the Cumberland Ballads, to his native City, after an absence of some years. Mr. Henry PEARSON was unanimously called to the chair, and the vice-chair was filled by Mr. Thomas WILSON: the dinner was excellent. After the cloth was removed, and the usual standard toasts had been given, the chairman proposed the health of Mr. ANDERSON, and expressed the pleasure that he felt in once more beholding him in his native city. The toast was drank with enthusiasm, and Mr. ANDERSON returned thanks in a short but expressive address. Among the other toasts, which were very numerous, was "Mrs. HOWARD, of Corby, the patroness of the Cumberland Bard:"-it is almost needless to observe that this was most warmly received. Mr. ANDERSON begged leave to propose one toast which he was sure would call forth the approbation of the company-"A friend, a man of genius, and a man of virtue-Mr. Thomas SANDERSON."-Many excellent songs were sung (including several of the Cumberland Ballads), and the evening was spent in the true spirit of harmony. The public will be glad to hear that Mr. ANDERSON has an idea of publishing an additional volume of poetry, comprizing ballads, and a variety of other pieces on different subjects. We think we may say that the success of such a publication is certain. On Thursday last, Captain James LISTER, of La Nymphe of Whitehaven, was committed to Carlisle gaol for refusing to deliver up the register of the said vessel to the major part of the owners. At a meeting, holden at Whitehaven, yesterday week, it was resolved that a House of Recovery should immediately be prepared for the reception of poor persons affected with fever; and a subscription was opened. On Sunday morning last, several fresh herrings were caught in a stake-net, at Saltom near Whitehaven, being six weeks earlier than any taken in former years. There is now a thrush's nest near the Ginns, Whitehaven, with two eggs in it. During the past fortnight, the Joiners at Whitehaven have been standing out for an increase of wages: they have been in the habit of receiving 19s. per week; they demand 21s. a week and 2 hours at dinner. The Earl of Lonsdale has appointed Thomas JOHNSON, of Lancaster, gentleman, his Deputy Steward of the hundred of Lonsdale, in the place of the late John BALDWIN, Esq. The Cumberland Pacquet contradicts a paragraph in our last paper relative to the breaking open of a house in the market-place at Whitehaven, and gives the following as the real circumstances of the case:- "Wednesday night last, between eleven and twelve o'clock, a soldier, belonging to the detachment of the 18th hussars, at present stationed here, was met by the nightly picquet guard, a little intoxicated, and conveyed by a corporal and private to the public house of Richard MORRIS, in the market-place, Whitehaven, (being the said soldier's quarters,) and in which house Mr. David RINKIN is only a lodger. They knocked several times at the door for admission, but without effect, MORRIS and his wife having gone to bed, and although they heard the knocking, would not open the door, being ignorant that it was their own lodger who wished to be admitted. The noise brought the watchman, Thomas MAXWELL, to the spot, and another watchman named James NICHOLSON, was also present.-The soldier who had been apprehended by the picquet, growing impatient at the delay, kicked at the door with his foot, and forced a small staple which held the bolt on the inside. This caused MORRIS and his wife to come down stairs, where they found their own lodger, endeavouring to replace the staple and again bolt the door.-One of the street lamps, in the neighbourhood of Richard MORRIS's house, but not within several yards of it, was on the same night broken; but that accident happened before nine o'clock." The Correspondent who furnished us with the account thus contradicted, observes,-"With respect to what was said about David RINKIN's house last week, it came from his own mouth. The Cumberland Pacquet says that Mr. RINKIN is only a lodger in the house. Mr. RINKIN is a dealer in dried beef, bacon, &c. and has the front shop of the ground floor, and a room up stairs to sleep in; the remainder of the house is let to MORRIS, as a public house. RINKIN says it is his, and MORRIS says it is his," &c. From this it is easy to see that a disagreement exists between the two occupiers of the house, and hence, no doubt, the exaggerated statement in which the account sent to us originated.

Saturday 20 Mar 1819 (p. 3, col. 2) EXHUMATION OF THE RELIQUES OF LORD WILLIAM HOWARD, IN THE CHANCEL OF GREYSTOKE CHURCH. Last week, the Earl of Carlisle, and Henry HOWARD, Esq. of Corby, gave orders to search for the remains of their celebrated ancestor, Lord William HOWARD, Baron of Gilsland, who was Warden of the Western Marches in the time of Elizabeth, and whose vigorous measures against the mosstroopers form so conspicuous a figure in the poetical writings of Walter SCOTT. Lord William was the third son of Thomas Duke of Norfolk, who was beheaded in the same reign for aspiring to the hand of Mary Queen of Scots, while a prisoner in Fotheringay Castle. His elder brother, Philip Earl of Arundel, married the Lady Anne, one of the co-heiresses of the Lord DACRE, and settled at Greystoke Castle; while Lord William married the other co-heiress, Lady Elizabeth, and settled at Naworth Castle, being Baron of Gilsland;-from the elder branch of the family are descended, the present Duke of Norfolk, the Earls of Suffolk and Effingham, &c.;-from the younger branch are descended, the Earl of Carlisle, and Mr. HOWARD, of Corby. Lord William lived to the age of 80, and died in 1640. It having been ascertained, by an old account book, that he was buried under the large blue stone in the chancel of Greystoke Church, the workmen were directed immediately to the place where the body lay; the large stone in question had been erected over the grave of William, called the good Baron of Greystoke, who died in 1359,-as the following inscription in brass bears testimony:-"Icy est William le bon Baron de Graystok plys veillieant noble et chevialer de sa paiis on son temps; Quy murult le x jour Jully l'an de grace Mill. CCCLIX. alme de guy Dieu eyt pete et mercy. Amen." At the depth of about five feet from the surface, the skeleton was discovered, nearly entire: it measured about six feet, and shewed the remains of a person of strong and athletic make. The teeth were all perfect in the under jaw, and the shape of the skull exactly corresponded with the original portrait of Lord William in the possession of Mr. HOWARD, of Corby. We believe it is the intention of Lord Carlisle to have the remains of his ancestor translated to the beautiful mausoleum at his Lordship's seat, at Castle Howard, Yorkshire.-No coffin or inscription was found, and the body seems to have been buried in a common grave. As Lord William died of the plague, the little delay that followed between his death and funeral may account for his interment without a leaden coffin, or without a vault or brass inscription: at the foot of the grave, a square casket of lead was found, which probably contained the heart of him or his wife. Upon opening this casket, it was found to contain a kind of substance resembling dried moss. In digging in other parts of the chancel, various other reliques were found, probably of the former Barons of Greystoke; and a vault was opened which contained three coffins entire, one marked on the lid with the initials C. H. 1753. This was the coffin of Catharine, the sister of the late Duke of Norfolk, who died in that year, aged 11 years. The process of search was superintended by Mr. WILKINSON, the steward of Mr. Molyneux HOWARD, of Greystoke Castle, Mr. SHARKEY, the under-steward, and Mr. R. CARLYLE, the artist, who attended for the purpose of taking drawings and copies of any inscription that might be found; and the whole was done by permission of the Rev. H. ASKEW, rector of Greystoke.

Saturday 20 Mar 1819 (p. 3, col. 1-2) The Committee for the Employment of the manufacturing and other Labourers out of work, have this week pursued the task confided to them with great earnestness. They have made a collection from house to house, and it will be seen by the list of subscriptions in another column, that the inhabitants have not been backward in affording the required support. In regard to the means of employment, the Committee have adopted a plan that cannot fail of giving universal satisfaction, at the same time that the work is of such a nature as to be readily performed by the most inexperienced. They have determined to construct a bank (similar to that round the cattle market) from the bridge to the castle walk, which will keep the water out of Rickergate as well as out of the cattle market; it will moreover form an excellent and healthy promenade. On Thursday the Committee met for the purpose of receiving applications from those in want of work; sixty-five applied, sixty-four of whom were found proper objects; and yesterday morning they were set to work. We understand that an Amateur Performance will take place at the Theatre, in about eight or ten days, in aid of the Subscription for the Employment of the Poor. The Mayor has given his consent, and there is not the smallest fear of obtaining Mr. M'CREADY's permission. Several of the performers possess considerable talent, and they will be assisted by professional females of some experience: the play fixed upon is Othello. The subscription will be materially augmented by this arrangement. Mr. Robert ANDERSON, justly designated the Cumberland Bard, is at present resident in Carlisle. The friends of the Poet, and the admirers of native genius, will dine together at the Grey Goat, on Wednesday next, and the company will be favoured with Mr. ANDERSON's presence.See Advt. The Carlisle Canal Bill has passed through a Committee and has been read a second time. It has also been finally examined by Lord Shaftsbury, the Chairman of the Lords' Committees, and will now very soon receive legislative sanction. The making of one million of bricks for the Canal was contracted for this week, and the work will proceed immediately. A vestry meeting was held yesterday in St. Cuthbert's, to consider the propriety of introducing monumental tablets inside the church. A proposition to that effect was carried nem. dis. This City was visited early yesterday morning by a very violent storm of hail and thunder. Margaret PIERSON, late of Fishburn, aged 19, has been committed to Durham county gaol, charged with the wilful murder of her mother. Amongst the many improvements in husbandry, none ranks higher than a piece of ground near Scotby, occupied by Mr. Joseph DALTON. A few years since a part of it was not worth £10 per acre; the produce last year was of more value than would have bought it a few years before the improvement was made. This shows clearly the benefit of close draining and breaking up ground that is little better than waste, while it makes provisions more plentiful, and gives employment to the lower classes, rendering parochial relief nearly unnecessary. Mr. FERGUSON's sale of Stock, at Harker, yesterday week, was well attended, and the lots went off briskly at very high prices. Mr. SPEDDING's sale, two days previous, was also numerously attended. Last week was slaughtered at Stockdale-Wath, near Rose Castle, in this County, two extraordinary sized Swine, bred and fed by Mr. Isaac RUMNEY, of that place: the one a sow, weighing 59st. 2lb. and 6st. of lard; the other a hog, 13 months old, of which the sow was the dam, weighed 41st. 9lb., and had 5st. 3lb. of lard taken out of it. On Tuesday week, at Jenken-Cross, in the parish of Westward, John LITTLE, servant of Richd. ROUTLEDGE, thrashed thirty bushels of Oats in eleven hours! The last ten stooks he thrashed in three minutes within an hour. On Thursday morning last, between 12 and 1 o'clock, some persons, after breaking the lamp before Mr. David RINKIN's house, in the market-place, Whitehaven, forced open his door and entered the dwelling unheard by the family, but nothing was taken away. The value of the goods in the house amounted to a considerable sum. All this was done unseen or unheard by the street watchman: he must have slept pretty soundly!

Saturday 13 Mar 1819 (p. 3, col. 1-3) It will be seen by a notice inserted in another column, that our statement relative to a general gaol delivery in the four Northern Counties this Spring, was substantially correct, notwithstanding the contradiction given to it in the Globe. Jonathan RAINE, Esq., King's Counsel, is appointed to preside on this occasion, and he will open the commission at Durham, on Monday, March 22; at Newcastle, for Northumberland and the town of Newcastle, on Saturday, March 27; at Carlisle, on Thursday the 1st of April; and at Appleby, on Tuesday, April 6.It is said that after the present year the Northern Circuit will be divided into two; one to comprize the counties of York, Durham, and Northumberland; the other, those of Cumberland, Westmorland, and Lancashire. This arrangement will materially affect the convenience of the Counsel, and will probably occasion an addition to the number of Judges. At a Meeting of the Shareholders in the Carlisle Gas Light Company, held yesterday at the Town Hall, Mr. GRAFTON, of Edinburgh, was appointed Engineer for carrying on the works, which will be erected immediately that the Bill, now in progress, has received legislative sanction. On Wednesday night, about twelve stooks of wheat were stolen from a stack standing in a field in the neighbourhood of Shaddongate, the property of Mr. WILSON, of Caldewgate. The thieves beat out the grain on the spot, and did not carry off the straw. In our last paper, we gave the deposition of a man named MORRISON, who pretended that he had been robbed near this City on the evening of Sunday week. We suspected that he was an impostor, and so it proves. Mr. MOFFAT, of Auchenhastine, the person whom he stated to have lent him £10, has been written to, and the following is his answer, "I received your letter yesterday respecting Samuel MORRISON. He called on me in the beginning of Winter and wished for work, but I told him I had no work at that time. He got no money from mehe has no wife nor family in Dalry that I know of: he had formerly a family about Dumfries, but whether they are there now or not, I cannot say. As I have not seen him (except as above) for 10 or 12 years past, I can say little of his character of late." He also referred to the Rev. Alexander M'GOWAN, minister of Dalry, who has also been written to, and he answers as follows: "There no man in the Claghan of Dalry, or in the parish, or in this neighbourhood, so far as I know, who bears the name of Samuel MORRISON; but there was a man who called himself James SHAW, and at other times, FERGUSON, (whose wife, named Sarah MURDOCH, whom he deserted some years ago, now resides in the said Claghan, though she belongs to the neighbouring parish of Kells) comes the nearest of any in this place to the description you give of the man who calls himself Samuel MORRISON, except that James SHAW's wife has only two or three children. You may ask him the name of his wife, and the names of his children by her, but in the mean time I cannot but suspect that he is an impostor." The object of MORRISON's imposture was to raise money, without doubt: in this he was defeated by the vigilance of the Mayor; and the City has likewise been rescued from the imputation of a crime of great magnitude. He has wisely disappeared. On Monday last, in the forenoon, at the time that the principal inhabitants of this City were about to meet at the Town Hall with an intention of petitioning the two houses of Parliament against the renewal of the present laws regarding Insolvent Debtors, a great number of weavers, some wholly out of work, and others only partially employed, assembled together in the market place, for the purpose of making their distressed situation known to the leading gentlemen of the City. A communication was held with some of them: they stated their distresses in calm and respectful language, and expressed their willingness to work at whatever employment might be procured for them. A requisition was immediately presented to the Mayor, requesting him to call an early meeting on the subject, which he instantly complied with by appointing the following day. Accordingly, on Tuesday morning, a great many Gentlemen repaired to the Town Hall, and after a short preliminary discussion, resolved that Committees should be appointed for separate districts to ascertain the number of persons in want of work, and the best means of affording them relief, &c. Committees for these purposes were instantly named, and the meeting adjourned till Friday. On Wednesday, the following address was distributed throughout the City and neighbourhood. "TO THE PUBLIC. "In pursuance of a requisition to the Mayor, to call a meeting of the inhabitants of Carlisle, to take into consideration the propriety of entering into a subscription to aid the poorer classes, at the present season, when work is so scarce; a meeting was held yesterday morning at the Town-Hall, (when a number of papers and petitions were handed in, purporting to be from persons out of employment,) and, as a preparatory measure, provisional committees were appointed to inquire, and with the assistance of the manufacturers, to ascertain as nearly as possible the extent of the present distress, the names of the families out of employment, with the number in such families, and generally to procure such information as they might think desirable to be known, and make their report to a public meeting to be held at the Town Hall on Friday next, at 12 o'clock, when measures will be taken to relieve, as much as possible, the deserving and the necessitous. "At a period like the present, when employment is so scarce, and wages so low; when the distress of the manufacturing poor in this city, and its immediate neighbourhood is more general, and perhaps more severely felt than at any former period; an appeal to the charitable feelings of the more opulent classes, it is hoped will not be without its effect; for it it [sic] a lamentable truth that many families are now in the greatest distress, who are both able and willing to work, could they procure employment; that, however, from the vicissitudes and fluctuations which always take place in manufacturing districts, cannot now be hadand these families must necessarily, till a revival in trade takes place, (which it is hoped is not far distant) become chargeable to their respective parishes, unless some plan be adopted to assist them which will at once combine the two objects of giving employment and affording real relief. It will yet be fresh in the remembrance of most of the inhabitants of Carlisle, that when a similar distress prevailed two years ago, a large subscription was raised, and, combining ornament and utility with charity, employment, in making the improvements about the city, was given to many honest and industrious persons, who would otherwise have been in very deplorable situations, and the beneficial effects of that employment is now daily felt by almost every inhabitant of the city. "It is true, the calls upon the liberality of the inhabitants of Carlisle, are numerous; but, they are always met with generosity proportionate to the urgency of the call; and the Committee doubt not but that the present distress will in a great measure be relieved, in a manner equally laudable, and judicious, as in the year 1816. Employment is the want, and that may easily be contrived in public works, both satisfactory to the poor themselves, and highly beneficial to the inhabitants at large. The provisional committee therefore hope, that the good example of a former year, will not be forgotten on Friday next; but that a full attendance of the principal inhabitants will take place, and a subscription raised which will be sufficiently large to relieve the present necessity.March 10, 1819." The adjourned meeting took place yesterday at the Town Hall, as agreed upon, the Mayor in the Chair. The gentlemen appointed to institute enquiries relative to the number of weavers out of employment, made a report, which stated that at the beginning of the present week, about 140 were in that predicament, and that at the end of it, 80 more were expected to be added to the number. The report added, that there was no present prospect of an improvement in the trade, but, on the contrary, it was likely that the number of unemployed would increase. Mr. John DIXON stated, on behalf of Messrs. Peter DIXON and Sons, that they had not discharged any of their weavers, but had given work to about sixty of those mentioned above; upwards of two hundred having made application.After some explanatory discussion, the Resolutions which appear in another column were unanimously agreed to, and several handsome sums were inscribed upon the Subscription paper. It was intimated at the Meeting, that others, besides weavers, were out of employment, to whom the benefit of the subscription will be extended. Power is conferred upon the Committee to afford relief to whom and in what manner they shall find most likely to promote the design of the subscribers, keeping strictly in view that effectual aid can only be rendered by employment: they will commence their enquiries on Monday.The Inhabitants of Carlisle have never yet been backward when called upon to relieve the necessities of their fellow-townsmen: we feel convinced that on the the [sic] present occasion they will not shrink from discharging so obvious a duty. On the 28th ult. George GIBSON, of Laversdal, was arrested by Mr. MORPETH, supervisor of Excise, of this city, by a warrant under the hand and seal of Sir Charles ABBOT, knight, Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, for assaulting William WRIGHT, officer of Excise, in the execution of his duty in the month of November last. William SCOTT, late of Maryport, nailor, was on the 8th instant, committed to Carlisle gaol, by Thomas BROUGHAM, Esq. as a rogue and vagabond, to be proceeded against at the Sessions by the Overseers of Keswick, for having deserted his wife and family, and left them chargeable to that township. On Thursday, a very large hog of the Cumberland breed, weighing 55st. 4lbs. was sold in Whitehaven market, at 7s. per stone. It was fed by Mr. Richard DICKINSON, of Outrigg, near St. Bees. On Monday, the first day of the present month, a swallow was observed at Mr. BOWMAN's at Hod-Yod, in Lamplugh. Yesterday week, several alehouse-keepers at Whitehaven, were fined, in different penalties, for having whiskey concealed upon their premises. We understand that the Company of Underwriters on shipping at Whitehaven, have closed their books, and do not intend to insure any more vessels this season. Appleby Gaol.An attempt it seems has been in contemplation amongst the prisoners in this gaol to escape from their confinement, by cutting the blankets of their beds so as to form a sort of rope ladder, with which it appeared they meant to scale the walls. The gaoler, however, very fortunately discovered the conspiracy before it was sufficiently ripe for execution, and by that means prevented the perhaps possible enlargement of a few desperate characters. Removal of Paupers.On Monday last, between two and three o'clock in the morning, a poor woman, named Mary CHALMERS, expired in the Coach, within two miles of Kendal. The circumstances attending her death are painful to the feeling heart. Under a suspended order of removal, as a pauper, to her place of settlement, she was put into the Coach at Carlisle, and accompanied by an overseer, for the purpose of being conducted to Warton, a distance of nearly sixty miles. But her strength proved unequal to the fatigues of such a journey, during a cold and inclement night, and the result was what we have stated above. If (as we understand was the fact) a medical gentleman gave an opinion that there was no danger in the removal, the Parish-officers are not to blame; but surely, in doubtful cases, humanity dictates that the last moments of ebbing life, even in a wretched pauper, should be spent in all possible peace and comfort.Kendal Chronicle. Attempt at Robbery.On Saturday night last, between 9 and 10, as a gentleman was coming to Dumfries, on the Lochmaben road, he observed a man of a suspicious appearance a little before him on the hill above Torthorwald, who suddenly disappeared; but the gentleman had not proceeded far, when the man sprang from the back of a dyke, laid hold of the reins of the bridle, and ordered him to stop. Luckily, however, being on his guard, and having a sword cane, which he instantly drew, the villain, upon being threatened to be run through, let go his hold, and made off.It is worthy of remark, that the gentleman was induced to take this weapon of defence from the house of Halleaths, where he was visiting, on account of its being rather late, and which he was only induced to do after repeated entreaties. The title Marquis of Annandale, which has been dormant since the year 1792, is now claimed by a Gentleman of the name of JOHNSON, as the lineal descendant of the family. Fletcher RIGGE, Esq. who for many years has personally filled the office of Clerk of Assize for the Northern Circuit, has, on account of his increasing years, appointed Mr. NEWSTEAD, of York, to act as his deputy. Mr. NEWSTEAD has resigned the office of Clerk of Arraigns, and Mr. RIGGE has appointed Mr. Henry NEWSTEAD to that situation.
Saturday 13 Mar 1819 (p. 2, col. 5-6) AT an Adjourned MEETING of the GENTLEMEN of the City of CARLISLE, held at the TOWN-HALL, the 12th Day of March, 1819, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best methods of affording relief to the Poor Manufacturers now out of Employment in the City and Suburbs, The Worshipful the MAYOR in the Chair: The Gentlemen who were deputed at the last Meeting to inquire into the state of the Manufacturing Poor having reported that there are now about 200 Families out of Employment, Resolved,That a Subscription be Immediately opened for the Relief of the Manufacturing and other Poor Labourers out of Employment, who have been upwards of Three Months resident in Carlisle or the Suburbs.

Resolved,That the Gentlemen whose names have been read by the Mayor be appointed a Committee to collect Suscriptions [sic], and to apply the sums subscribed by the liberal and humane, in such a manner as they may think most according to the intention of this Meeting, and most likely to meet the exigency of the moment, viz.: For English-Street and BotchergateCapt.

Saturday 06 Mar 1819 (p. 3, col. 5) SCOTCH NEWSMARCH 5. Daring Robberies.On Saturday evening last, the following daring robberies were committed upon the toll road within a mile of Gatehouse of Fleet, by three men, about seven o'clock in the evening.1st, Alexander GORDON, printer, Kirkcudbright, was attacked and robbed of a bill for £33 1s., one shilling of silver, and an umbrella.2nd, Robert DIXON, farmer, in Magree, who was on horseback, of a silver watch; Thomas SPROAT in Rainton, who was walking alongside of Mr. DICKSON, was attacked, made his escape, and was fired at in his retreat, but sustained no injury.3rd, John CLARK, warehouseman to Mr. Samuel M'NAUGHT, merchant, Kirkcudbright; and James PARKER, innkeeper, at Twynholme-Kirk, both on horseback, and in company, were attacked; PARKER, by striking severely the man who seized his horse, escaped, he also was fired at, but without doing him any injury; CLARK was dragged from his horse, and robbed of his watch, and about 13s. in silver, but they missed a considerable sum in notes.4th, James RAIN, in Townhead, was also attacked, but escaped. CLARK, on his arrival at Kirkcudbright, which was not till about 10 o'clock, immediately communicated the particulars of the attack upon him and PARKER, without knowing any thing of the others, to the Procurator Fiscal, who dispatched a party of intelligent officers to the Magistrates of Gatehouse with such information, that in consequence, two out of the three robbers were apprehended next morning, before it was almost known in Gatehouse the robberies had happened, and as the third robber is known, and parties in pursuit, it is hoped he too will be apprehended. All three are from Ireland, viz. Arthur M'KEAN, weaver, in Dumfries, John STOTT, weaver, in Maxwelltown, and John KELLY, labourer, in Castle Douglas.M'KEAN and KELLY, and a man named M'MILLAN, who assisted in the escape of STOTT, are committed to Kirkcudbright Jail.DIXON's watch was discovered upon M'KEAN. Two women, Isabella HALLIDAY, and Mary Ann WILSON, were lately committed to Kirkcudbright Jail, upon an aggravated charge of child-murder.
PETTY SESSIONS. PENRITH – TUESDAY, SEP 8. ARREARS OF BASTARDY. – THOS. JONES was brought up in custody charged with neglecting to pay towards the maintenance of a child of which he had been adjudged to be the positive father. The arrears, including expenses, amounted to £5 17s 6d. The order was for 2s per week, and the defendant had paid nothing. He was apprehended on a warrant at Caldbeck. Defendant was allowed a week to obtain the money. INTIMIDATION ON THE NEW RAILWAY. - JAMES LITTLE and LUKE CRAIG, navvies, were brought up inn custody on several charges, the nature of which will be best understood from the statement of MR. JAMES, who appeared for the prosecution. Within the last few days, MR. BAYLISS, contracter for the Settle and Carlisle Brant Railway, engaged a number of men, at which the defendants took offence, and LITTLE showed his ill-feeling by throwing stones at a ganger named HUCKLE. Ten or a dozen stones were thrown by defendant, who said he would knock HUCKLE’s old daft head off, and drive him out of the cutting for bringing the _____________emigrants to the works. From that part of the cutting the defendant went to the house of HENRY REED, foreman joiner, at Longwathby. LITTLE asked for some victuals, and MRS. REED gave him some bread and meat. He then went out but returned, and demanded some “grub” for his mate. She refused to give him any more, upon which he abused her and very much alarmed her. MR. REED came up at the same time, and LITTLE seized hold of him by the shoulders. REED told him to “let go”, and be off about his business; but LITTLE pulled off his coat, and REED ran into the house and shut the door. LITTLE threatened to split MRS. REED’s head with a stone he had in his hand; and then kicked the door and threatened to knock it in. MRS. REED ran for a policeman, and her husband, seizing a stick, told LITTLE if he didn’t go away he would thrash him. LITTLE then called his mate, the other defendant. REED went in for his gun and threatened to “drop” the defendant, if he didn’t cease throwing stones. The gun was charged. LITTLE said, “You ______________you’re only a bully for BAYLISS. Some dark night I’ll blow up your ______________hut and your family.” He still kept the stone in his hand, and said he had something in his breast which REED could have as well. About that time MRS. REED had gone for the police, and shortly afterwards LITTLE was apprehended. He begged to be “let off”, but REED said, “They’ve got you now, and you must go.” While in custody of the police, the prisoner was exceedingly violent and escaped twice. They were followed up the line on an engine by THOMAS CAMPBELL and P.C. STOREY, and shortly afterwards LITTLE was apprehended by the latter on a charge of begging. REED shortly afterwards came up and LITTLE begged his pardon. REED then left and the prisoner was brought towards Longwathby. On the way LITTLE whistled for REED back again, saying, “I won’t go a ____________step further for anybody.” CAMPBELL and STOREY then thought they were no match for the two prisoners, each of whom armed themselves with stones, and LITTLE called out, “I defy anybody to take us now”, CRAIG adding “If you take him you take me with you.” The prisoners then ran away, and were pursued by STOREY and another policeman named NELSON. The latter proceeded to the railway office, and pursued them as far as a wood near Skirwith, a distance of seven or eight miles. They were apprehended in a field close to the fell side, LITTLE turned three or four stones out of his pocket, and both prisoners agreed to go quietly. The handcuffs were used, but as CRAIG complained that he was being hurt, they were removed. LITTLE then turned upon NELSON, striking him and otherwise assaulting him. The constable was assisted by REED, WALKER, and others, and the prisoners were then removed to Penrith. LITTLE expressed his sorrow for what he had done, and CRAIG denied that he had been guilty of any offence. LITTLE was sentenced to one month’s hard labour for threatening the ganger for employing the men, fourteen days for the assault, and fined £1 1s for resisting the constables. CRAIG was fined 20s and costs for aiding and resisting the constables, or fourteen days.’ _______________________________________________________________ barb,ontario,canada
