Saturday 12 Sep 1818 (p. 3, col. 2) On the morning of Saturday last, the Lodge of Castletown House, Rockliff, belonging to Robert MOUNSEY, Esq. was broken into, and a silver watch, two pair of sheets, and £3 5s. in silver were stolen therefrom. A reward has been offered for the discovery of the offender or offenders. A fine Leicester Ewe Sheep was stolen from the Bush Farm, near Longtown, a few days ago, by a man who is supposed to have taken the animal away in a wheelbarrow. Mad Dogs.—In consequence of the prevalence of Mad Dogs in this district, and the appearance of several in Carlisle, the Mayor has admonished all persons having dogs to confine them. On Thursday last, a weaver named DOWELL, resident in this City, exhibited his gormandizing powers to great advantage. He made a bet that he would devour, within 50 minutes, an apple pie, consisting of ⅛th of a stone of flour, and one hoop (two gallons) of apples, drink two pints of ale, and smoke two pipes of tobacco. This feat he performed within the stipulated time, but, according to our informant, with some difficulty. We may add—no wonder! Committed to Carlisle Gaol, on Tuesday last, from Whitehaven, John TOWNSEND, charged with forging an order for the payment of prize-money, with an intent to defraud the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital. Vagrant Office, Carlisle.—Sixty-two applied at this Office from the 4th to the 11th of Sept.—Amount of relief & lodging, 7s. 8d.—ABDULARAB, a foreigner, who was relieved at this Office on the 15th of last month, returned again, begging in the streets: the Mayor thought right to punish him as the Law directs—whipping out of the town. Vagrant Office, Penrith.—Relief given to Vagrants from the 2nd to the 9th of Sept. inst., 2s. 1½d., including lodgings—8 applications—7 relieved. A very excellent sermon was preached in Wigton Church on Sunday last, by the Rev. Mr. DODD, in aid of the venerable Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge, after which the sum of £7 : 12 : 2 : was collected.
