AND EAST CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORLAND NEWS. NO. 440 - Eighth Week in Quarter Registered for Transmission ABroad. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1874. PRICE 1D. __________________________________________________ CUMBERLAND ASSIZES. The Commission of Assize and general gaol delivery for the county of Cumberland was opened in the Crown Court, Carlisle, on Tuesday afternoon, by MR. JUSTICE DENMAN and MR. BARON AMPHLETT. Their lordships arrived in Carlisle by the train due in the Citadel Station from the south at ten minutes before two o'clock, and were received by the High Sheriff (JOHN LINDOW, Esq., of Ehen Hall), the Under-Sheriff (MR. W. W. LUMB), and the Sheriff's Chaplain (the REV. G. B. ARMES, of Cleator). The Sheriff's "turn-out" is one of the most complete and handsome that has been seen in Carlisle for some time, and the four spirited bays were handled in excellent style by the High Sheriff's coachman. Everything in connection with the equipage is new, and it is the intention of the High Sheriff to adapt both carriage and horses to his own use at Ehon Hall. The formal business of opening the Commission was gone through in the presence of more people than usual; and their lordships immediately after leaving Court proceeded to the Cathedral, where divine service was celebrated and a sermon preached by the REV. G. B. ARMES, from the words - "Shall not the Judge of the earth do right." The same evening their Lordships, the High Sheriff, and the Sheriff's Chaplain were entertained by the Dean of Carlisle at the Deanery.
