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.
