    3. Transcribed by Diane Moore. Geo. THE CARLISLE PATRIOT - Saturday, July 22, 1843 AN INSANE MEETING.--At a vestry meeting held at Wakefield last week, for the purpose of passing the constable's accounts, a scene of confusion took place, which ended in Mr. G. CRAVEN moving a resolution, "that this meeting is not in a sufficiently sound state of mind to entertain so important a question as that embraced by my resolution." This resolution was put to a show of hands, and carried almost unanimously. The chairman said that it was time they all went home, as they had voted themselves insane. The meeting then broke up.--Yorkshire paper.
