Dr. COLLIER , surgeon, at Eastbourne, was co-respondent in a divorce suit, in which Mr. SIGISMUND obtained a divorce. He opposed the making of the rule absolute, but the Judge decided against him, and condemned him in costs. Again and again he appealed to the Judge not to condemn him in the costs, and at length he became very excited and declared he would go to prison for five years sooner than pay.

Hi Bev, Maybe it wasn't a scholarship awarded by Ardingley itself, but (for example) a Foundation set up in memory of someone who awarded a scholarship to an institution the person had attended themselves? I had a look in the Gale newspapers and there were a few items similar to this one - "The Graphic (London), Saturday, 9 August 1879 - SOME VILLAGES NEAR BRIGHTON - .......It is curious that in going about these villages you once and again and then once more come upon an immense structure, raised in some lonely neighbourhood, and on some most advantageous site. This is a school. If you get out at Hayward's Heath you find one of them in the secluded village of Ardingly; at Hassock's Gate you are near another in a far-off part of the parish of Hurstpierpoint; again, near Lancing, there is a third immense building, each looking like a college of a University set down in the wild. In fact there is a regular network of these institutions throughout the county. It is one of the most remarkable educational experiments of modern times. The design is to bring the system of the great public schools within the range of every class of society. Ardingley, Hurst and Lancing are easily accessible from Brighton on the line. Ardingley will have accommodation for a thousand lads, "sons of poor gentlemen, tradesmen and farmers, mechanics, and others of small means." Lord Granville laid the foundation, and we see that Mr Gladstone gives an annual scholarship." Cheers Trish Nowra NSW > Hi Bev > Do you mean the archivist at Ardingly College?

>From Sun ( London, England ), Friday, November 1, 1793; Issue 341. The following melancholy accident happened a few days since at Burwash, in Sussex. The Rev. Mr. COLCOLE , an aged Clergyman, in a fit of insanity jumped into his draw-well, eighty feet deep, and was soon after taken out dead. A French Officer who had been imprisoned at Alresford, and liberated on his parole, one day last week made his escape from Worthing in a boat belonging to a fisherman, which he made free with for that purpose. On the shore nigh to where he embarked, were found his coat, two waistcoats, and a pocket-book.

Hello All, Is anyone looking for the marriage of William LAVENDER of Iping Sussex, he married Ann BRUMMELL by Licence 16 April 1801 Chiddingfold, Surrey. Witnesses are Calleb WITHALL & William GRINSTED. Around this date there are quite a few marriages with the men of Sussex who have strayed over the Surrey border to Chiddingfold, so worth having a look in Surrey.
