Saturday 19 Dec 1818 (p. 3, col. 3-4) EXTRAORDINARY AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY. (From a London Paper.) On the night of the 4th or 5th of Feb. last, the house of J. W. PARKINS, Esq., No. 17, Riding-house Lane, Portland Place, (the late Candidate for Carlisle,) was robbed under circumstances of great ingenuity and art, of a large rose diamond ring, valued at several hundred guineas; one large pearl, set as a breast-pin, India mounted; 4000 pearls; 14 Portugal purses, containing 4000 reals (a Portuguese coin of small value) each; a number of gold Swamy Pagodas, Louis d'ors, Napoleons, and other property of immense value. Mr. PARKINS had been the whole of that week engaged with Lord COCHRANE, who was about to leave the country; and on the night of the robbery had left town leaving orders with Daniel M'VEY, his servant, to take a hunter to Epsom, which Mr. PARKINS had promised to lend to Sir F. BURDETT, who was going to hunt with the Royal Pack. There were at this time in the house, PARRY, the groom, and M'VEY. The latter contrived to send PARRY upon some trifling errand, and about ten o'clock the whole neighbourhood was alarmed by the report of fire arms, which proceeded from the back of Mr. PARKINS's house. The people rushed out, when the first thing they saw was M'VEY coming down a ladder, that was planted against the back window which looks into the Mews. He appeared much alarmed and said that thieves had broken into the house.—An ostler agreed to go up the ladder and search the house with him, to which he consented; but after a most diligent examination of the place, no one was discovered. M'VEY said, that whilst he was sitting by the fire, a robber rushed out of his master's closet, and, discharging a pistol at him as he passed (the contents of which did not strike him), ran into another closet, against the window of which a ladder was placed, to facilitate his escape, and got sway. This was the account he gave of the robbery. Soon after, the other servant, PARRY, came home, and being informed of the robbery, agreed to sit up and watch the house. Next morning these circumstances were communicated to Mr. PARKINS, who, having suspicion of M'VEY's story, sent for him, but it was then found that he had absconded, and suspicion, of course, fell on him.—Information of the circumstance was sent to the different Police Officers, with a description of the delinquent, who was proved to have been seen about Chelsea the following day by some soldiers, carrying a bundle. The residence of his wife at Pimlico was searched, but nothing was found to throw the least light on the subject. Mr. PARKINS sent printed descriptions of the robber to all the Post-masters, Government Agents, and Magistrates throughout the United Kingdom. W. KENNEDY parish clerk of Aghaderg, and also a constable of the county of Down, having received intelligence that M'VEY had committed a robbery in England, repaired by order of Mr. BAILEY, the High Constable, and under a warrant from John FIVEY, Esq., one of the Justices of the Peace, to the house of James GARDINER, innkeeper, of Cappy, to seek for him. He arrived at Cappy early on the morning of Wednesday the 12th of Feb. He was told by Mr. GARDINER, that in the course of the day M'VEY would be going to the town of Rathfrieland, and that there was then in the house a person named STEWART, who also came in search of him, and had a particular description of his person. KENNEDY, fearful that M'VEY would escape, if he waited till STEWART got up and had breakfast, took a description of his person, and set off for the Rathfrieland road. He took his post at a certain place, where he could have an opportunity of seeing all that passed the road; but fearing from the view of the country, that M'VEY could go another way across the fields, he thought it prudent to go about half a mile further up the road. He was not deceived, for when he got about half a mile up, he saw a man coming across the fields. He had no doubt that it was the person he wanted, and accordingly went into a cabin on the read, and waited his coming up; he joined him, and they entered into conversation. KENNEDY asked him if he was going to Rathfrieland? He said he was. The constable asked then if he had ever been abroad? and he answered that he had, but came last from London, where he had lived with an Officer who was going abroad, and had given him leave of absence for a month to see his friends. KENNEDY then observed, that there was a great alteration in the price of land; for what was let about six years ago on the old leases, at 10s. was now let at 50s. and upwards per acre, and it was rumoured that many of the farmers would be ejected out immediately. M'VEY asked who was likely to be ejected? as he knew most of the neighbours; and the constable replied that one Robert M'VEY would. At this his companion got nettled: he said M'VEY was his uncle, and would in a few days be able to pay his rent, as well as any one else. KENNEDY was then certain he was the man, but forbore from apprehending him till he came to the house of Daniel KAY, about two English miles further on. Here he proposed to his companion to have a dram, and they entered the house, the landlord of which knew M'VEY, and congratulated him on his good appearance. KENNEDY collared him instantly, calling KAY to assist, fearful that the prisoner might have fire-arms. On searching him, a pocket-book, with some Freemason's gold medals, were found on him, but nothing more. He was dressed in a Gentleman's green hunting frock, lined through the body with silk, and round the breast and collar with green velvet; the coat appeared too big for him; also a pair of plush breeches, a good hat, and boots. M'VEY said he must be mistaken as to the person, for he did not know him; and KENNEDY answered, that he knew him better than he thought, and would tell him more when he got him before a Magistrate. They proceeded on the road to Cappy, expecting Mr. FIVEY would meet them, and on the way M'VEy said, he had been rather too rash in taking him in the presence of KAY; for if he had taken him whilst they were on the road together, it would have been better for him, for he had a very good watch that would not have hurt him. He said he supposed there would be a very great reward offered for his apprehension; but he had nothing to fear from his master, only for stealing the clothes he then wore, and requested permission to change them at his uncle Robert's house. A considerable distance up the road they met Mr. GARDINER, the innkeeper, and Robert STEWART, the constable, who were also in pursuit of M'VEY. They asked KENNEDY where he had been? who pointed to the prisoner, and charged them, in the King's name, to aid and assist. They all proceeded to the house of the prisoner's uncle, where he changed his clothes, the green frock for a livery coat; but on pulling the coat out of a bag, they heard a jingling, and KENNEDY searching it, found a Napoleon. On asking him where he got it, he said at Gibraltar, that he had three more, but spent them. He then took his clothes out of the bag, consisting of two coats, two pair of breeches, several waistcoats, one pair of boots, one pair of shoes, exclusive of those he had on, which he tied up in a shawl, and then asked for his shirts, when he was informed by the people of the house that he could not have them, they being washed. They left the house together: the prisoner was taken to the inn kept by Mr. GARDINER, where Mr. FIVEY, the magistrate, and the High Constable attended, and took his examination, after which he was handcuffed, and sent in a post chaise, which arrived from Banbridge, under the care of KENNEDY, and the other constable, Robert STEWART, to Rostrevor. They passed through Lough-brickland, where KENNEDY handcuffed himself to the prisoner, the night being dark, and he entertaining some fears of an escape or a rescue. On arriving at Newry, fresh horses were got, and the prisoner was safely taken to Rostrevor, where he was delivered to Counsellor STEWART, one of the magistrates for that place, who, STEWART the constable said, had orders from Mr. PARKIN'S [sic] what to do with him, or else Mr. FIVEY would have committed him to Downpatrick gaol at once. On the following morning, the prisoner was taken before Mr. STEWART, who gave him regularly into the custody of STEWART, his namesake, and discharged the constable KENNEDY from all further responsibility. The handcuffs were left on the prisoner, as Mr. STEWART had none, and KENNEDY was on the point of returning home, when he was sent for by Mr. STEWART, the magistrate, who after a conversation with Mr. STEWART, the constable, commended his diligence, and gave him the sum of £1 2s. 6d. with leave to return home. A day or two after, when the prisoner was in custody, Mr. PARKINS received the following letter from Ireland:— "Bally Edmond, Rostrevor, Feb. 16, 1818. "DEAR PARKINS—I received your letter and enclosure, and am very sorry indeed for your loss, and sincerely hope we may catch the scoundrel; for which purpose I will use my exertions, and send down to his father's neighbourhood an intelligent person to look after him. But as no doubt you must have lodged an information against him at some police-office, or before some Magistrate, I beg you may procure a warrant from them, and send it to me, and which warrant I, as a Magistrate, can back here, as I don't think I could keep him otherwise in custody. However, every thing that can be done I will do for you. In the meantime, "Your's sincerely, "ALEX. STEWART. "J. W. PARKINS, Esq. 17, Riding-house- lane, Portland-place, London." In three days after, a second letter, announcing the arrest and confession of Daniel M'VEY, and discovery of some of the property, was received by Mr. PARKINS, from Mr. STEWART: it was to the following effect:— "Bally Edmond, Rostrevor, Feb. 19, 1818. "DEAR PARKINS,—Daniel M'VEY is caught, and now in custody at Rostrevor. I employed a most clever fellow, who spared neither time nor expense till he took him, and he received every assistance in the neighbourhood, very much to the credit of this country. I do not think you could have managed it better in England. He had only been a week home. One Napoleon was found in his bag, and your coat and breeches, which he admitted, but nothing else; he denies, of course. As we cannot keep him here long without examination, I request you will immediately send a man over with a warrant to take him to England. Send the man by Liverpool, and to come to Warren Point, within two miles of Rostrevor, in a Newry packet. Pray lose no time, as M'VEY is kept in the constable's house, which is very inconvenient and troublesome, and I cannot commit him to prison here. "The person I employed to catch him is a very respectable man, and must be well paid, He has been already at a very considerable expense, as well as the constable in the neighbourhood of M'VEY, who assisted him, and is also entitled to the reward. I have advanced the necessary money in the mean time; and all these exertions have been made on my account, and relying on my word. "Send me, by return of post, at least a £30 Bank note, as also full instructions what you intend to do, and when I am to expect the police officer; but do not on any account think of coming yourself! I have a man at present employed to see if he can find any of the jewels; but I fancy M'VEY left them in London with his wife, who lives near Pimlico. So you had better search her lodgings. Write without fail by return of post. Your's truly, A. STEWART. "P. S. Don't forget the Bank-note. "J. W. PARKINS, Esq." Contrary to this advice, however, Mr. PARKINS, who, when he received the letter, was engaged to hunt with Earl FITZWILLIAM and a party of fashionables, set off for Ireland, and on his arrival there found, to his surprise, that M'VEY was gone, he having escaped from the constable's house before their faces. He crossed to Scotland after him, and arrived at Dumfries, where he left his horses and servants, and proceeded by the mail to Glasgow, but failed in getting any intelligence of M'VEY.—Mr. PARKINS, however, persevered in his search, and traced him to Banbridge, Ireland, where WARREN, the Keeper of the Post there, apprehended him. Mobs of persons attempted to rescue him on his way to Downpatrick Gaol; and when he was brought by break of day to be shipped for England an armed mob came to rescue him, and in a scuffle Mr. PARKINS found it necessary to resort to his pistols for protection, and to call out a military guard. When the prisoner had crossed the British Channel, he was very heavily ironed, and tied on the mail-coach. Mr. PARKINS cams with him till they were set down at the Peacock, Islington. Here all the parties, amongst whom were two Ladies, went into the parlour, and the prisoner was for a moment disencumbered of his irons, and, finding himself at liberty, he seized the poker, and swore with a horrid oath that he would instantly kill Mr. PARKINS; but that Gentleman having a pair of loaded pistols in his pocket, presented one, and threatened him with instant destruction if he did not submit, which had the desired effect, and he was again secured, and lodged in the watchhouse. Monday morning he was taken to Marlborough-street Office, examined, and committed for further examination.

It gives us great pleasure, however, to observe, that, at the requisition of a great number of the principal Inhabitants, his Worship the Mayor has appointed a Meeting to be held at the Town Hall, on Tuesday next, "for the purpose of considering the propriety of establishing an Institution for the cure and prevention of contagious fevers." Of the propriety of such an establishment, most persons, we believe, were agreed long ago; and the desired measure would have been carried into effect last year, if unavoidable obstacles had not prevented it. No such obstacles now exist: a convenient situation offers itself: all that is wanting is pecuniary support, and that, we feel assured, will be liberally afforded the moment that proper persons are duly authorised to receive and manage it. We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement in the front page, and entreat them to attend a meeting which will afford them an opportunity of doing a great good by the subscription of a small sum. It is the business of every one to assist in repressing a scourge that pays no more respect to the richest than to the poorest,—though, of course, the latter, being more exposed to contagion, must be the greatest sufferers,—but this, again, is an additional call upon those whom Providence has placed in more favourable situations. On Thursday forenoon, about eleven o'clock, a robbery of a very unprincipled description was committed in the dwelling-house of Mr. John BURROW, machine-maker, Scotch Street, in this City, by Joseph SKANES, a lodger, who stole nearly £20 in notes, of the East Lothian and Whitehaven Banks, two silver watches; one marked "Henry IVISON, Carlisle, No. 1822," and the other "James RENNIE, Carlisle, No. 645." SKANES is by trade a tailor, and has lately entered as a recruit in the 55th regt. He is about 5 ft. 5 in. high, has a round face, pug nose, black bushy hair, and dark eyes. The loss is terribly heavy on Mr. BURROW, who can ill sustain it: he has offered a reward for the villain's apprehension. The Caldbeck Fells, last week, were topped with snow. On Tuesday morning we had a sharp frost. St. Ann's Hospital, Appleby.—It has struck many persons with surprise, that, while Mr. BROUGHAM was so actively engaged in his enquiries relative to the abuse of Charitable Funds, should forget St. Ann's Hospital, at Appleby, under the controul of the Earl of Thanet. A writer on this subject, in a Kendal paper, gives the following statement.— INCOME. EXPENDITURE. Tenants. Acres. Am. Robert NICHOLSON — £200 | 12 Widows, 20l. each £240 Rev. J. JENNINGS 15 8 | 1 Widow, 22l. 22 Thomas LAMB 15 30 | Rev. J. HEELIS 20 James BEWSHER 17 34 | 13 Cart loads of Coals 8 Joseph THOMPSON 25 50 | Surplus not account- } A. CRAIG, & Co. 18 48 | ed for } 250 Farmer at Brougham 170 | ------- | ------ £540 | £540 He further observes—"I will not pledge myself for the accuracy of every item in the above account; but I will affirm the gross amount to be near the truth. I will likewise affirm, without fear of contradiction, that the real value of the estate is eight hundred pounds per annum. However, the present object is to enquire about the appropriation of the surplus, with its accumulation of interest for the last thirty years, which amounts to the sum of eighteen thousand pounds."——It is to be hoped that Mr. BROUGHAM's vigilance will not slumber here—there seems ample room for enquiry. At this period, when so much alarm is excited by the appearance of the Typhus Fever, householders of all descriptions cannot be too attentive to every department where cleanliness is necessary, and particularly in removing every kind of nuisance from their dwellings, &c. The Rev. Mr. HUDSON, of Stanwix, has now in his garden, gooseberries, which measure an inch and a quarter in circumference. A Correspondent says—"There is now (Tuesday last) in the neighbourhood of Drumburgh, a Hawthorn in full bloom." Fletcher RAINCOCK, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, is appointed Recorder of the Borough of Kendal, vice the late Richard HOWARD, Esq.

Saturday 19 Dec 1818 (p. 2, col. 6 - p. 3, col. 1) We have this week to announce the death of Lord Ellenborough, which took place at his house in St. James's Square, London, about seven o'clock on the evening of Sunday last. The rapid progress of his malady was such as to leave very faint hope of his recovery, from its commencement. There is little doubt but his Lordship's death was accelerated by the laborious attention which he incessantly paid to the duties of his office: a few short weeks elapsed only, between his resignation and his decease.-Edward LAW, Baron Ellenborough, of Ellenborough, in the County of Cumberland, was the son of the late Bishop of Carlisle. In the year 1786, he was entered of Peter House, Cambridge, and soon distinguished himself by his talents, but his application to study was not very exemplary; he however took his degree with eclat. Upon commencing the study of the Law, he laboured with more steady application, and practised some time as a special pleader. On being called to the Bar, his success was not brilliant. He, however, got into business on the northern circuit, where, it is said, he exercised unbounded controul over the Juries. In Westminster Hall he was more successful with the Court. He derived some advantage, in the commencement of his professional career, from the friendship of Mr. WALLACE, who then stood high at the bar (and whose sister was married to Lord Ellenborough's brother, the late Bishop of Elphin.) Mr. Justice BULLER, it is supposed, also aided his advancement. But, on the other hand, Lord Chief Justice KENYON had taken a strong dislike to him. The most important business in which Mr. LAW was hitherto engaged, was the trial of Warren HASTINGS, and he acquitted himself, as is well known, with great skill, firmness, and talent, in that seven years' war of oratory. After this trial had been brought to a conclusion, his business increased rapidly. He had attained a great accession of reputation. The French Revolution then broke out; State prosecutions were issued, and Mr. LAW was in general retained for the Crown. He had obtained a silk gown several years before: but it was not till the administration of Lord Sidmouth, then Mr. ADDINGTON, that he became a law officer of the Crown. About the end of February, 1801, he was appointed to the office of Attorney-General. The late Mr. PERCEVAL was made Solicitor-General at the same time. On the 2d of March following he took his seat for the first time in the House of Commons; and in April, 1802, still under the influence of the same administration, he was raised to the Chief Justiceship of the King's Bench, and to the Peerage. In Oct. 1782, he married Lady Ellenborough, then Miss TOWRY, and has left seven children-1. Edward, m. December 11, 1813, Octavia STEWART, youngest daughter of Robert, Earl of Londonderry, (by Frances PRATT, sister to John Jefferies, Marquess of Camden, K. G.); 2. Charles-Ewan, m. May 22, 1811, Elizabeth Sophia, sister to Sir Charles Ethelston NIGHTINGALE, of Kneesworth, co. Cambridge, Bart.; 3. Mary; 4. John; 5. Elizabeth; 6. Anne; and 7. a daughter, b. January 11, 1812.-The character of Lord Ellenborough will be variously represented, according to the party who speaks or writes. "His enemies (says a contemporary writer) impute to him an inclination to arbitrary principles. What unconstitutional principle did he ever lay down? The cause of this imputation was his disdain of popularity. He despised it to very scorn. He never garnished the execution of his duty by those flowers and fringes of popular sentiment, meaning nothing, with which other men disguise the good they are doing the people, lest it should bring upon them the obloquy of the populace. He leaned to the side of authority, because the popular was in his time the arrogating party. An absolute Government, or a constitutional one, seeking to become absolute, would have found in him its most dangerous-its most ardent enemy."

Saturday 19 Dec 1818 (p. 1, col. 3-4 + 6 and p. 2, col. 5) TO THE M A Y O R OF THE CITY OF CARLISLE.

On Monday last, the 7th inst. at Cockermouth, in the 74th year of her age, the Lady of James Clarke SATTERTHWAITE, Esq. It may truly be said of this benevolent character, that she was possessed of every estimable quality which adorns private life. Kind to all in the true spirit of christian charity, and beloved and respected by the circle of her acquaintance, she was a pattern as a wife and a mother; and her loss will be most deeply felt by those of her family who survive to deplore her death. Since our last:-Martha, the wife of Mr. John REAY, roper, of Newtown, aged 60 years.-Mrs. Elizabeth BATEY, of Botchardgate, aged 82 years. At Brampton, on Friday last, Mr. Joseph FISHER, aged 82.-He was a principal witness in the great tythe cause, removed from Carlisle to Lancaster last assizes.

On Friday, the 4th inst. at his house in Bedford-square, John LUMSDEN, Esq. a Member of the Hon. the Court of Directors for the Affairs of the Hon. East India Company. On Thursday, the 26th ult. at Shavington, Viscountess Killmorey, wife of Viscount Killmorey, of Shavington-hall, in the county of Salop, and eldest sister of Lord Combermere. In Wickham-street, Portsea, in the 113th year of his age, Thomas BOLWELL, a native of that town. Lately, at Langford, Somerset, aged 109, Mrs. CARPERN. At Worcester, aged 91, Mr. Jasper DEBRISSAY, formerly, an officer in the 4th dragoons. He carried the colours at the battle of Culloden in 1746. Lately, at Calcutta, Henry PEARSON, Esq. While walking in his garden, he was bitten by a snake, which twined round his thigh, and although every medical assistance was resorted to, he died in 12 hours. At Bishopwearmouth, on Saturday the 28th ult. after a short but severe illness, aged 45, George Wilson MEADLEY, Esq. author of the Memoirs of Dr. PALEY, Algernon SYDNEY, &c. He was endowed with an acute and comprehensive understanding; his mind was stored with the treasures of literature in a degree seldom attained but by the most painful and laborious application; and his memory was so powerful and tenacious, that he could recal [sic] at pleasure the details of any event, or the contents of any book, which had ever engaged his attention. Of the merit of the two works above mentioned the public have formed a favourable opinion, and a second edition of the former is nearly exhausted. If the language of this interesting memoir has been considered occasionally deficient in the graces of harmonious diction, it is sufficiently compensated by an inflexible adherence to truth, and by a determined expression of exalted and manly sentiment. The life of SYDNEY is remarkable for perspicuity of arrangement and energy of style. His remains were followed to the grave by the president of the Sunderland library, (of which he was one of the founders) and a very large party of the subscribers and other gentlemen. *** In our last paper, we briefly announced the death of Miss ROLANDS, in Fisher-street, in this City, which took place the preceding day; her age was 65. A Correspondent says: "For many years she was a faithful and successful instructress of youth. To her family circle and friends, her death is an irreparable loss: but her Christian fortitude under severe sufferings, and her pious resignation to the will of God, during her last illness, give a well-founded hope, that to her, death was a great gain."

Saturday 12 Dec 1818 (p. 3, col. 1-3) Messrs. WATTS and WETHERELL's Ball will be held at the Coffee House Assembly Room, on Friday the 18th inst.—Vide advt. It will be seen by the advertisement, that the next General Quarter Sessions for the County, will be held at Cockermouth on Tuesday the 12th of Jan. 1819. It is with extreme regret we state that little hope is entertained of the recovery of Lord Ellenborough. The numerous robberies on the property of farmers of late, render it desirable for toll-keepers to examine all persons who pass at an untimely hour, so as to enable them to give information to owners of horses and others which route has been taken. On Monday last, John, Robert, and James GRAHAM, of Blackdyke, and John FORSTER, of Tewfit Green, labourers, were severally convicted before John HEYSHAM, Esq. M. D. one of the Magistrates and Commissioners for Assessed Taxes for this County, in the penalty of £20 each, for being in the search and pursuit of Game, without taking out Game Certificates. On the night of yesterday week, as John THORNTHWAITE, of Low Moor, a very decent young man, was returning with his horses and carts from Gilcrux, where he had been for coals, he fell down dead on a hill called Bullgill-brow, near Allonby, (it is supposed in an apoplectic fit) and was not found till some other persons with carts were returning from the same place, who at first thought him asleep, and attempted to awake him; but to their astonishment they found him a lifeless corpse. It had been erroneously stated that he was killed by the cart going over him; but the above is the purport of the evidence delivered before the coroner's jury. Verdict, Died by the visitation of God. On Tuesday last, a man came to Mr. Robert ARMSTRONG's, Black Bull Inn, Brampton, and offered a bay mare for sale. He first demanded £20 for her, but at length agreed to take £7 10s. although she was apparently worth double that sum. Mr. ARMSTRONG then accused him of having stolen the mare, and sent for a Constable, on hearing which, he started up and ran off. He was pursued by some young men, and overtaken a short distance out of the town, when he confessed having stole the mare out of Yorkshire, and said he would steal another the first opportunity, as he would rather be hanged than starved. The young men not having any Constable with them, they allowed him to go on. The mare remains in Mr. ARMSTRONG's possession. We are happy to announce that the Magistrates of Penrith, have laudably forbidden the practice of the Town-crier calling Cockles and Muscles for sale on the Sabbath; nor are people allowed to sell them at all on that day. Our readers will recollect that this was one of the unseemly practices recently alluded to in our paper. The subject of publicly inviting the inhabitants to funerals is under consideration, and it will be submitted to those concerned, that on the death of a friend or relative, a person should be employed for the purpose of inviting those whom it is wished should attend;—and as this practice has been an emolument to the Town-crier, it might be proper at those times to give him the preference, by which he would still obtain his usual pecuniary reward. Four hats were stolen out of the house of Capt. BUCHANAN, in Penrith, on Sunday Evening last; which circumstance was immediately made public, and notwithstanding a handsome reward offered, the thief has not been discovered. A similar trick was played in the same house some time back, though no notice was then taken of it. The Farmers who frequent the Waggon and Horses Inn, in Penrith, on Market-days, were served with a second crop of Peas, in full growth, on Tuesday last, a circumstance which was never known to have occurred before. A respectable looking man, who left Kendal, on Thursday se'nnight, by the Heavy Coach, for Penrith, on arriving at that place went into the New Crown Inn, and took his seat by the fire, soon after which he was discovered a lifeless corpse. He took his place only for Penrith. His death may perhaps be attributed to the cold of the night, as he was an outside passenger. From letters found on him, it appears his name is FAULDER, and his place of residence near Longtown. William PATTERSON, aged 52 years, a husbandman, was found dead in a place called Warren-House-Lane, Penrith, on Friday se'nnight; an Inquest was held on the body. Verdict, Died by the Visitation of God. Joseph CLARK, yeoman, of Askham, has now in his Garden at Askham, near Penrith, a second crop of Peas from the old stalks. Mr. GILLIBURN, of High Crosby, near this City, has now in his garden, gooseberries which measure half an inch in circumference. Mr. Joseph DALTON, of Low Crosby, has also in his garden, a pear-tree in full bloom. Last week, John LITTLE, a character well known in Whitehaven and neighbourhood, being several years the leader of a juvenile gang of depredators, was committed to take his trial at the ensuing Cockermouth Sessions, charged with having feloniously stolen sundry articles of wearing apparel from a yard in Chapel-street in that town, where they were placed for the purpose of being dried. WHITEHAVEN DEC. 8.—Thursday night, a little after seven o'clock, the Defence, BELL, lying between the North Wall and the Bulwark at this port, was discovered to be on fire. The alarm thereby occasioned was consequently very great, and the more so, as the tide was out. No time was lost in bringing the engines; but there was great difficulty in procuring a sufficient supply of water; however that difficulty was rendered less by the activity and exertions of great numbers of people, who flocked to the spot on the first alarm, and used all the means in their power to prevent the extensive mischief which threatened the North Harbour.—Happily their exertions, after long and frequently hazardous labours, proved so far successful in subduing the flames, as to prevent their being communicated to any other vessel;—but not until all the pumps in the neighbourhood were nearly exhausted of water. Some time ago, the vessel had been hauled up to within a few yards of high-water mark, near the bottom of Duke-street, in order to receive a very considerable repair, which was then almost, if not entirely completed. She was, therefore, fortunately in one respect, at a distance from any other vessel in that part of the harbour. Had it been otherwise, the consequence might have been dreadful;—for it was found impossible to stop the progress of the flames whilst the masts were standing. The foremast was first sawn away; and at the greatest possible risk of those who effected it, ropes were with extreme difficulty thrown over the mainmast, then enveloped in flames, and the whole pulled down, with the shrouds, &c. by the united force of a great number of people.—The scene was truly apalling [sic];—and, since the attempt of Paul JONES, in 1778, the Port of Whitehaven has never been in such imminent danger as it was, for at least two hours, on Thursday.—The damage sustained is very considerable.—Not only the cabin, but all the after-part of the vessel is destroyed; and a cable and several sails are consumed.—The cause of this conflagration is not known. The Inhabitants of Whitehaven, of every description, rendered all the assistance in their power with the greatest alacrity. Murder.—Last week a woman named NIXON was found with her throat cut near Liverpool. The knife with which the deed was perpetrated lay beside her: this was ascertained to belong to a family with whom the woman's husband lodged—and such evidence came out before the Coroner's Jury as to induce them to return a verdict of wilful murder against him. He has been committed. The parties did not live together.

Saturday 12 Dec 1818 (p. 3, col. 4-5) SCOTCH NEWS-DEC. 11. In addition to the numerous instances of the mildness of the present season, there is growing in a garden, in the neighbourhood of Dumfries, a red raspberry bush, loaded with berries, from the flower, progressively, to its most perfect state of richness. On Monday night, or early on Tuesday morning, the Academy at Clarencefield was broken into, and a number of articles stolen therefrom. Early on the morning of the 20th ult. a most atrocious attempt was made on the life of a gentleman in the parish of Old Monkland by firing a pistol loaded with ball at his bedroom window, at the time he was in bed. Fortunately, the attempt was not fatal; for the ball lodged in the shutter. A wood-pigeon was shot at Hoddam Castle, on Tuesday, in whose stomach were found thirty-seven acorns, six beech-nut kernels, two wild cherry-stones, and two of the caps or sockets of the acorns. Three of the acorns were upwards of an inch both in length and circumference, and twenty-three of them nearly that size. Alexander M'MILLAN, weaver in Glasgow, having been prosecuted before the sitting Magistrate, at the instance of the Manufacturers' Protecting Society, for obtaining a web from a manufacturing house in town upon a forged certificate of character, was last week sentenced to sixty days imprisonment at hard labour in Bridewell. BURNS's Monument.-We are happy to understand, that M. TURNERELLI has at length completely finished the sculpture intended for the interior of BURNS's Mausoleum, although the period of its being despatched from London is still postponed to the beginning of spring. This additional delay is occasioned by the lateness of the season, and the anticipation of those severe frosts that may be expected to follow the present uncommon weather, and which render it extremely hazardous to transport, and still more so to erect, any thing requiring so much nicety as marble ornaments. Prolific Swine.-A sow the property of John FERGUSSON, Priestside, Dumfriesshire, has, during the last four years, had six litters, and at each litter, no less than 23 pigs on an average. The following are the actual number:-1st litter, 27 pigs; 2nd, 24; 3rd, 24; 4th, 24; 5th, 23; 6th, 20; in all, 142.

Saturday 12 Dec 1818 (p. 2, col. 4-6) CARLISLE CANAL NAVIGATION.

Yup, but the problem presumably is that there isn't conclusive documentation for William MARSHALL (the father). The age may well have become exaggerated with the telling as well. -----Original Message----- From: eng-westmorland-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-westmorland-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of David Railton via Sent: 17 November 2015 15:45 To: 'Petra Mitchinson' <petra.mitchinson@doctors.org.uk>; eng-westmorland@rootsweb.com; 'Cumberland Mailing List' <CUMBERLAND@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [ENG-WESTMORLAND] Carlisle Patriot, 05 Dec 1818 - BMD I see that the deaths include: " At Sanquhar, at the advanced age of 102 years, William MARSHALL, tinker.-His father, also named William, lived to the extraordinary age of 121, and was long at the head of a desperate gang of gypsies, who infested Galloway and the neighbouring counties for a great number of years."

Saturday 05 Dec 1818 (p. 3, col. 3-5) SCOTCH NEWS-DEC. 4. Robbery and Brutal Outrage.-As a respectable married woman was on Wednesday afternoon last, betwixt four and five o'clock, on her way to Dornock, she was accosted by two men a few yards from that village, who, after forcing her into a neighbouring field, robbed her of 1s. 3d., being all the money she had in her pockets. One of them, assisted by the other, then proceeded to violate her person, which he accomplished; her mouth having been previously filled with mud to prevent her from crying. A knife was also held to her throat with an oath, that "she should be killed if she uttered a syllable." The poor woman remained for some time in a state of insensibility. As soon as her case was known, pursuit was made after the perpetrators; but hitherto, we are sorry to add, without success. Another Account.-(From our Annan Correspondent.)-Wednesday afternoon, about four o'clock, as a respectable married woman was passing between her own house at Butterdales, and the village of Dornock, she was overtaken by two brutes in the shape of men, who, after walking a short way in company, began to take some indecent liberties with her person, which she resented in a proper manner, but being ultimately overpowered by their superior strength, they carried her in a state of insensibility to the side of the road, and actually, in the face of day, and not more than 100 yards from the village, forcibly ravished her and otherwise so much abused her by blows and bruises, as to render it a matter of doubt whether she will recover. And the hellish miscreants, as if not satisfied by so barbarous an outrage, actually added robbery to ravishment, and took from her pocket a quantity of silver with which she was just going to market. An active search was immediately commenced, but still (three o'clock this day, Thursday), there is no account of their apprehension. Mr. Wm. JOHNSTONE has been unanimously elected Schoolmaster of Dornock. On Sunday last, the 29th ult., in consequence of the lamented death of her Majesty Queen Charlotte, the Magistrates and Council of the Burgh of Annan, preceded by their officers, whose halberts were covered with crape, marched in solemn and mournful procession to Church to hear Divine Service, which was ably performed the Rev. Wm. H. MONCRIEFF, the minister, who delivered an excellent and highly appropriate discourse from the 9th Chap. of Hebrews, and the and 27th and 28th verses: "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many, and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation." The Church, as is usual on such occasions, was hung with black cloth, and every respectable family in the town and neighbourhood appeared in the deepest mourning. On Wednesday se'nnight, some person or persons unknown, in the dusk of the evening, entered the house of George BROWN, in Port-street, Annan, while the family were sitting beside the kitchen fire, conversing with a friend, and stole a man's coat, and a woman's great coat, which were incautiously left hanging on a click in the passage, and got clear off with their booty. Suspicion fell on a sturdy Irish beggar, who had been relieved at the door a short time before, and a search was made, but Pat had probably taken the hint, as he was no where to be found. THOMPSON's Monument.-The long deferred monument in honour of THOMPSON, near his native village, is now in a fair way of being speedily erected. The plan adopted is by Mr. Wm. ELLIOT, of Kelso. The obelisk is to be 50 feet in height; it being understood, however, that should the additions which are expected to be made to the subscriptions admit, the building may be proportionally enlarged, according to the direction of the subscribers. It is to be erected on a fine rising ground on the lands of Ednam Spittal, belonging to Mr. WALDIE, of Hendersyde, nearly north of the farm house of Ferney Hill, and on the height between that house and Sydenham-gate. A swindler who is pleased to call himself Capt. LANG, late of the 64th foot, has exercised his calling with a great deal of audacity in Glasgow of late, although the police officers have been in pursuit of him. He is suspected of having called at a lodging house in the Newtown on Thursday evening; when, pretending to leave a note for one of the inmates, he decamped with half a dozen of silver tea spoons and a pair of tongs, and some other articles, among which were a few towels. This fellow is about 24 years of age, about 5 feet 6 inches high, has a smart appearance and military air, and is dark complexioned, the hair on the eye brows being scarcely separated at the ridge of the nose. He wears sometimes a blue great coat, and at others a brown one, as suits his purpose. He is a complete Dandy. To one young man he made a proposal for a swindling partnership. He proposed that Perth should be the scene of the fraud. They were to pretend to be agents for Sir Gregor M'GREGOR; to live splendidly; grant bills; and, when the roguery should be discovered, to move off to another place. LANG promised himself much success by obtaining money from officers wishing to join the patriots by receiving money from them for the outfit and passage. The villain, who forms such plans is very illiterate, and was formerly, it is supposed, a private in the Dumfries-shire militia; and he has been in confinement in Bridewell. Sunday se'nnight, Mary ROBERTSON, Janet GREENLEES, Margaret FAULDS, and Margaret BOWIE, effected their escape from Paisley gaol. They broke through the roof, and by means of ropes or other conductors descended to the platform of the adjoining tenement, and thence to the back-court of the Saracen's Head Inn.

Stitching is the term used to describe putting the seed into the ground. This will be done by a seed drill which will make a small furrow and deposit the seed then discs will fold the tops down to bury the seed, the harrow will then rake it over to bury and level the surface. A stitch harrow is a combo device that does it all in one go. There is not a lot of difference if any between a stitch harrow and a seed drill which was invented by Jethro Tull in about 1701 ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/tull_jethro.shtml ) Stitch is probably used from early days when seeds were put in the ground by poking a hole with a stick as it is old English for prick or puncture.

When I worked at Massey Harris in Stretford Lancs in 1949, part of my job was to install flexible aluminum tubes in every seed drill, the number used depended on the width of the drill . It directed the seed along with a mixture of dry fertilizer in to the bottom of the valley created by the normal Harrow. After doing this, the soil covered the seed/fertil1zer which helped the seed germinate. Without this procedure, the valley would soon carry any heavy rainfall and wash out the two products. Hope this helps.

Saturday 05 Dec 1818 (p. 2, col. 6 and p. 3, col. 2) The statement of the Earl of Carlisle's ill health, which we copied from the Kendal Chronicle, is unfounded. Col. Wilson Gale BRADDYLL, whose sudden death was announced in our last paper, was the eldest son of John GALE, Esq., of Whitehaven, and was born in that town in 1755. He was 39 years in the Commission of the Peace for Lancashire, served the office of Sheriff for the same County in 1778, and was one of the Members of Parliament for the Borough of Lancaster from 1780 to 1784. He also represented the City of Carlisle from 1790 to 1796. His remains have been interred at Ulverstone. It is reported that there is a probability of a new Church being shortly erected somewhere in the parish of St. Mary's, Carlisle. We know not on what foundation it rests,—but such a measure would be of great public benefit, especially, if there were a liberal proportion of free seats. There is now in the shrubbery of David KENNEDY, Esq., of Crosby, near this City, a Laburnum tree in full bloom. A number of Swallows have been seen at different times during this and the preceding week, at Brampton. On Tuesday last, a hare that had been started about the Red Dial, ran down Wigton Streets, followed by the dogs, although crowded with people, (it being market-day). Poor puss was so closely pressed that she took shelter in Mr. RIGG's kitchen, where she was preserved from the death which must soon have overtaken her, had she not found this friendly asylum. A young man named PEARSON, aged 16, was killed last week in a coal mine at Bolton, near Wigton, in consequence of the breaking of a rope, as he was descending the shaft: he fell upwards of 50 fathoms, and died almost instantly. The statement relative to the breaking up of the Workington Card Assembly, on the receipt of the news of her Majesty's death, is altogether an imposition, sent to the Whitehaven Paper by some simpleton, who seems to have more time than sense. Robert STEWART, Esq., has taken the oaths as Receiver-General for the Isle of Man. On Thursday se'nnight, a very numerous and highly respectable meeting was held at the New Inn, Temple-Sowerby for the purpose of promoting the interests of the Bible Society.—W. CRACKENTHORPE, Esq. was called to the chair, and addressed the meeting; after which the Rev. R. M'LEAN, and W. D. CREWDSON, Esq. both of Kendal, the Rev. Mr. THORN, of Penrith; the Rev. W. WILSON, of Tunstal; and the Rev. Mr. ROBINSON, of Newbiggin, also addressed the assembly with great effect.—A series of resolutions were passed: and at the close of the meeting the sum of £32 6s. 6d. was collected. We understand that the cause James NICHOLSON and William NICHOLSON v. James DAVIS and Giles MOORE, Esqrs. in replevin; referred to Montague AINSLEY, Esq. at the last Appleby Assizes, has terminated in favour of the defendants, who have had an award for £70 and costs of suit; each party paying their own expences of the reference. Thursday the 26th ult. the Lonsdale Bank for Saving was opened in Kirkby Lonsdale, at the house of Mr. GREGG.
