Transcribed by Susan Bergeron. Geo. The Carlisle Patriot Friday, February 13, 1880 An Exciting Scene Five boys were playing on the beach in front of Plymouth Hoe, on Monday afternoon, when they entered a cave in the rocks. They remained there until the tide, which flowed with unusual rapidity because of the gale, completely hemmed them in. Their screams were heard from the road above, and hundreds of people quickly gathered. The waves were dashing furiously upon the rocks and running into the cave, at the back of which the terrified lads were crouching. No boat could live in that surf, and it was manifest that in a few minutes the boys' cries would be finally silenced. Ropes were procured, and two seafaring men, George ANDREWS and Thomas PENNY, were lowered from the precipitous rocks above the cave's mouth through the seething spray, and allowed themselves to be washed by the waves into the cave far enough to seize a boy. Then they were hoisted up. This was repeated until, amid ringing cheers, they brought up the last of the children. .....

This was an action for the recovery of £1 7s 6d, money lent by the plaintiff, a nailer, residing in Penrith. Three witnesses for the defence stated that the plaintiff backed Kean for a sovereign against a butcher, named Harry CLARKE, for a game at dominos. His Honour said he did not believe the plaintiff; there was no doubt he made a bet, and having lost, he came to defendant to try to get his money back. He advised him to be wiser in future, and keep his money in his pocket. Verdict for the defendant. ..... A Child's drapery Bill. BENTHAM v. SIMONETTE This was an action to recover £1 15s, brought by John BENTHAM, draper, Kirkby Stephen, for goods supplied to defendant's niece, a girl 13 years of age. Plaintiff alleged that the goods were ordered by Mrs. SIMONETTE, and that she promised to pay for them. This however, was denied by the defendant, for whom ultimately a verdict was given. ..... An Unhealthy House KILBURN v CLOSE Plaintiff keeps the Green Tee Inn, Kirby Stephen, and he let the defendant a cottage at a rental of £8 and he now sued for a quarter's rent. Mr. SHEPHERD appeared for the defendant, who said that he left the cottage on account of its unhealthy state. His wife had kept her bed three weeks, and Dr. FAIRER attributed her illness to the house, which he pronounced not fit for habitation. His Honour adjourned to case for the doctor's evidence, remarking that if he corroborated defendant's statement, his verdict would certainly be against plaintiff. .....

The following are among the objects in England which Sir John LUBBOCK proposes to include in his bill for the preservation of ancient national monuments: In Cumberland, the stone circle, "Long Meg and her Daughters," near Penrith; the stone circle on Castle Rigg, near Keswick; and the stone circles on Burn Moor in St. Bees. In Westmoreland, Mayborough, near Penrith; and Arthur's Round Table, Penrith. Serious Charge Against a Wigton post Messenger. A rural post messenger, called LINTON, is in custody on a charge of detaining several letters given to him for delivery. LINTON was the post messenger to Dundraw, &c., and had two letters, which he is charged with detaining, given to him to deliver at Kelsick, but they were not delivered until too late. He was brought up yesterday (Thursday) evening, before the Rev. W. M. SCHNIBBEN, and remanded until Tuesday next. Sad case of Suicide at Penrith. On Friday morning the body of a girl named Sarah WILSON, 16 years of age, daughter of MR. WILSON, residing in Brougham Street, Penrith, was found in the river Eamont, near Eamont Bridge. The girl had been missing since the 30th alt., and many rumours were circulated about her whereabouts. It would appear that the girl, who is said to have been of a most excitable temperament, gave notice to her mistress Mrs. BELL, of Newton Gate, near Penrith, where she was in service to leave, and on the 30th ult. went home to her parents. She told them she had left her place, and they, being under the impression that she had left without notice, told her she must go back again. She said "Oh, no," threw down a bundle she had under arm, and went out of the house. She was not heard of, though search was made for her, until her body was seen floating in the Eamont by Thomas TODD. An inquest was held on Saturday. Mr. WILSON, father of the deceased, said his daughter suffered severely from violent pains in the head. When she came home no row took place, her mother and witness simply telling her she must go back, thinking she had run away. A juryman suggested there might have been some love affair mixed up with her action in going home. The Coroner said no blame attached to the father, and he could easily understand how, under the circumstances. any man might fairly say what WILSON said to the deceased. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased committed suicide whilst in a state of temporary insanity. Sudden Death at Crofton Farm. On Saturday, Sarah Ann FURNESS, 21 years of age, was found dead in bed at Crofton Farm, Wigton. Deceased was a dressmaker, and had been working for a few days with Mrs. MILLER, Crofton Farm; she appeared well on Friday night, when she partook of supper before retiring for the night. Next morning she complained of sickness to Mrs. MILLER, who saw her in bed about eight o'clock, and shortly after, when Mrs. MILLER returned to the bedroom, she found the young woman dead. Heart disease was supposed to be the cause of death, and a inquest was not deemed necessary. Loss of a Workington Ship. At daybreak on Monday, during an easterly gale, the schooner John WESLEY, of Aberystwith, bound from Workington for Newport, with pig iron, was driven ashore while endeavouring to enter the harbour. The Manchester life boat, Two Sisters, proceeded through a heavy sea to the wreck, and the crew, consisting of five men, were rescued and brought to harbour. Heavy seas were last night sweeping over the schooner, which was apparently breaking up. Woman Found Dead Near Wigton. On Sunday morning and old woman named Elizabeth Lowther, living at Kirkbampton, was found dead in a small stream near Little Bampton. It appears that deceased (who was 84 years of age) has been in a wandering mood for some time past, and on Saturday evening her friends missed her about six o'clock. Search being made, she was found as above stated by David W. HODGSON. An inquest was held on Tuesday, when a verdict of "Found drowned" was returned. Determined Suicide at Sellafield. On Wednesday a shocking case of suicide occurred at Sellafield. A man named John JACKSON, 65 years of age, residing with his sister, went out early in the morning; shortly after his sister noticed blood marks on the floor, and in her brother's bedroom she found a knife and a razor covered with blood. Marks of blood were traced to the river Ehen, about a mile from the house, and JACKSON'S body was found in the river. Deceased was a husband-man, and had been twice in a lunatic asylum. He has been in a low way for the last few weeks. Sudden Death At Brampton. On Friday last, Mrs. JAMIESON, wife of Mr. R. JAMIESON, Brampton, a moment after speaking to a neighbour about a pain in the chest, dropped to the floor, and was dead before a doctor could be brought. The Numerous Burglaries in Wales. Thomas COPE, alias STOCKLEY, the prisoner under remand at Shrewsbury on the charge of burglary near Oswestry, is now found to have been connected with several crimes. Portions of the property stolen in three of the recent burglaries in Shropshire and other countries were found in his possession. It is believed that seven or eight of the burglaries in that country, and Denbighshire and Montgomeryshire, will be brought home to him. This prisoner, with another man, named ELLIS, was convicted of burglary at Radnor in 1869. He was charged also with burglaries in Flintshire, and was then sentenced to ten years penal servitude. He had previously undergone seven years penal servitude for robberies in Worcestershire and Leicestershire. In March, 1878, he was discharged on licence or ticket-of-leave, from Portland Convict Prison. He returned to Wrexham, but soon afterwards absconded from there. In March, 1878, some daring burglaries were committed at Bongate Hall and other places in Westmorland. In one of these the burglar was captured at Preston by the Cumberland and Westmorland police, with all the stolen property of the value of over £300 in his possession. He was tried at Appleby in 1878, and sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment. He then gave the name of Valentine SCAMEL, stating that he was a native of Amsterdam, and by trade a sailor. Between his committal and trial in Westmorland, every possible inquiry was made by the police to endeavour to trace the antecedents of SCAMEL, as it was believed that he was a returned convict. Information giving his description were fully circulated, but no trace could be got of him in any town, or county, or gaol, or convict establishment in the country. The result was that no previous convictions could be proved against him at Appleby, and he consequently got off with the light sentence of eighteen months. He was discharged from the Kendal Gaol on the 1st ult. He must have then gone straight into Wales, and immediately recommenced his career of crime. It was so strongly believed by the Cumberland and Westmorland Police Authorities that this man would again commit crime, that it was thought expedient, in the public interest, to fully circulate throughout the kingdom his photograph and printed information, giving a full description of him, with a view to having him traced by the police in the various towns and counties. On seeing the description of the prisoner COPE, the Cumberland and Westmorland police believed that he and SCAMEL were one and the same person. On Wednesday, the 11th inst., he was seen where he is in custody at Shrewsbury, by an officer of the Cumberland police, who at once identified him as the convict SCAMEL. He is a native of Khosymeder, Denbigh. At one time he was the keeper of a beerhouse in Denbigshire. Serious crimes have been traced to this man, and his career as a burglar is in many respects very extraordinary. He is supposed to be connected with receivers at Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester. He will be again brought before the magistrates at Oswestry, on next Saturday. When such notorious convicts are set at large on ticket-of-leave, and on failing regularly to report themselves, it would be a great safeguard against crime if their description and antecedents could be made known to the police generally, in order that their true character and previous convictions should be laid before the Court, in the event of subsequent convictions. Mrs. NIGHTINGALE, mother of Miss Florence NIGHTINGALE and of Lady VERNEY, died last week in London in her 92nd year. .....

Transcribed by Alison Kilpatrick. Geo. Transcribed from the 16 September 1828 edition of The Newry Commercial Telegraph newspaper, by permission of The British Library: Riot at Greenock. On Wednesday evening, the 10th inst., about seven o'clock, as the Hibernia steamer was preparing to sail from Greenock for Belfast, full of passengers, principally of that description called "Irish harvesters," on their return home from their periodical toils in the sister country, a party of idle blackguards on the Greenock Quay commenced an unprovoked attack upon them; first, by abusive language, calling them "Paddies," &c. and afterwards by throwing stones and other missiles, by which all were endangered, and many got severely hurt. The Hibernians finding themselves thus exposed, without being able to defend themselves, for want of missiles on board, about a score of the boldest sallied forth out on the Quay, flourishing their shillelahs, and soon cleared the coast, hurraing, as victors, on returning to the vessel. This brought forth an increased crowd of towns-people, who, with the former combatants, also hurraing, returned to the vessel, and renewed the assaults with stones, brickbats, pieces of coal, or whatever they could collect; and the most alarming disposition now manifested itself on both sides for renewing the fight, and stones, &c. flew in every direction; the people on deck throwing back whatever they received, as fast as they could be collected. In this state of things, the Captain of the Hibernia, standing frequently in an exposed and dangerous situation on the paddle box, assisted by some of the cabin passengers, exerted himself to the utmost, endeavouring to make peace, but to no purpose, as the enfuriated mob would not be quiet; and the exasperated harvesters seemed worked up to a pitch of madness, and determined not to be restrained. They took the straw covering off their reaping hooks, and prepared for another and more dreadful sally, which would, in all probability, have soon ended in blood and slaughter, but for the praise-worthy conduct of Captain Williams, and a few spirited Gentlemen, who placed themselves in the gang-way, or point of passage, and opposed every further attempt at egress from the vessel, unless by cutting through and maltreating those whom they could not consider but as their friends. "All the ladies, and the greater part of the gentlemen, who, at the first outset, were spectators on the quarter-deck, found it necessary to retire to the cabin, and shut the doors; and occasionally many of the harvesters sheltered themselves under the bulwarks, the swinging side boats, or wherever they could creep to avoid the stones, &c., some of which, judging from their size, could not weigh less than from 10 to 15 pounds; and one of these, as big as a man's head, was hurled into one of those boats which usually swing over the deck, and which afforded some shelter, no doubt with the view of breaking through its bottom, and injuring those who lay or stood beneath. Some of the passengers got severely cut in the face, and otherwise seriously bruised; and it is fortunate, and a very great wonder, that this alarming affray did not conclude with more fatal results, considering the nature and inflamed passions of the parties--darkness coming on, and the tardy arrival, or want of exertion in the Police, which, for the credit of that useful description of force, on such occasions, is to be hoped arose from ignorance of what was going on in that part of the town. It is also to be hoped that such measures will be adopted for the preservation of passengers, embarking at the Port of Greenock, as will prevent such disgraceful occurrences in the future.--B.N.L.
