Some Selected Reports from the Salisbury and Winchester Journal
Monday, December 19th, 1825
THE Misses MUNDAY on their removal from Heytesbury, are anxious to express their grateful acknowledgments to their numerous Friends for their kindness and support, and beg to assure them that the want of a more commodious House is their only motive for quitting. They embrace the earliest opportunity of stating, that, they have taken an eligible House, pleasantly situated in an airy part of WARMINSTER, (and late in the occupation of Edward Haliday, Esq.) which has been inhabited for some time, and is therefore perfectly dry, where they intend after the present vacation to conduct their Establishment, for the education of Young LADlES, and where they hope by unwearied assiduity to merit that approbation which has been already bestowed, and which it shall be their chief aim to deserve.
LITHOGRAPHlC ESTABLISHMENT,
WINCHESTER
J.T.LEWIS, having made arrangements for the formation of a LITHOGRAPHIC ESTABLlSHMENT, respectfully announces that he is prepared to receive instructions for the execution of Works in every department of the art.
He begs to observe that Lithography is not confined to the Fine Arts alone, but is applicable to all Works of which several copies are required, the readiness and cheapness of their execution offering a facility attainable by no other means. The following may be enumerated:
Highly wrought chalk drawings of every object embraced by the art of design, maps, charts, plans of estates, either finished or in outline, architectural elevations and ground plans, drawings of machinery, music; ornamental writings, ancient and modern, for titles, wrappers of books, &c.; tables, ,bills of exchange, bills of lading, receipts, certificates, bill heads, price currents, circular letters and law forms, in the hand writing of the parties if required, fac-similes, &c. &c.
The rapid advances made in this beautiful art, in the last two years, render it peculiarly adapted to the purpose of illustration, as the artist is enabled, from the minuteness and superior finish with which chalk drawings, &c. can now be executed on stone, to produce works that will bear to be placed by the side of the finest engravings.
The charges at this Establishment will be upon the same moderate scale as in London, and the proprietor has full confidence in offering his services to the public, as he is in possession of a new mode of preparing drawings made on stone, giving certainty to an hitherto very uncertain art.
Instructions, gratis, wilI be given to Artists and Amateurs in the method of drawing on stone, so as to ensure success in the printing; and they can have the use of stones, properly prepared, and be supplied with chalks, and every requisite of the first quality, by which they will be enabled to multiply to any extent their original productions, every lithographic impression being not even a fac-simile, but the original drawing itself.
Letters immediately attended to.
RICHARD HlNXMAN hereby informs his Friends and the Public, that, having relinquished a part of his business as a Farmer, and having removed his place of residence from CHILLING to KITNOCKS, near Bishop's Waltham, he now proposes to undertake, for those who may be disposed to rely upon his judgment in that way, the profession of Land Surveyor, and General Appraiser of Land, Tythes, Timber, Live and Dead Farming Stock, Growing Crops, and all (as the Lawyers say) that belongs and appertains thereto.
R. H. flatters himself that the occasional employ he has had, in this way, during fifteen years of practical experience as a Farmer, in all sorts of times, during which the price of wheat has fluctuated from eight to forty pounds a load, and having in the mean time had two pieces of plate awarded to him, by the Hampshire Agricultural Society, for the cultivation of his farms, (one of which, be it observed, was presented to the society by John Fleming, Esq. the M. P. for the County,) upon the possession of which he plumes himself very much; that these, added to the benefit he has derived from the experience of his father, who has been concerned in the valuation of several whole parishes, entitles him to think, without the imputation of inordinate vanity, that he is in some degree competent to this undertaking; and he can assure those who may be inclined to entrust him with their commands, that they shall be executed to the best of his ability, and with punctuality, and moderation of charge, as the following proposed Iist of charges will shew, viz. :- Charges of Commission, upon the valuation of any of the foregoing description of property, if the amount thereof should exceed a thousand pounds, one and a half per cent; if under that amount, two per cent; charges per day, two pounds with reasonable expenses.
Kitnocks, December 8th, 1825.

An elopement has lately taken place in the city. A wealthy Miss contrived that a large party should attend the theatre on a certain evening, in boxes at different parts of the house. During their entrance into the theatre she told both parties that she should join the other, so that neither missed her, thinking of course that she was with the other party. In the interval she contrived to escape with her lover.
Edward Cockrell was fully committed on Saturday from Bow-street to Newgate, for uttering sham Bath and Bristol notes.
OLD BAILEY- On Saturday Samuel Sharpe was indicted for stealing a letter containing bills of exchange amounting to �3000. Which had come into his possession as a letter-stamper at the General Post Office. The prisoner was observed putting two letters in his pocket -- he was searched, and the letter containing the bills with many others found upon him. It was urged, however, in his defence, that he only purloined the letters for the sake of the postage; and after a trial of four hours, the Jury brought in a verdid of "Guilty of secreting the letters, but only for the purpose of appropriating the postage to his own use."- The verdict is to be submitted to the opinion of the Twelve Judges.
On the same day, Stanley de Courcey Ireland, of Gloucester-place notoriety, was acquitted of felony. but detained to be tried at Middlesex Sessions for conspiracy. - - Israel Isaac Milheim was indicted for robbing Mr Lawton, pawnbroker, of Green-street, Leicester-square, of �100. in Bank of England notes, a diamond brooch, and other articles. It appeared that the clerk of the pawnbroker agreed to advance him �160. upon some brilliants, but on pretence of doing them up himself and sealing them he substituted another parcel containing articles of trifling value. The facts were fully proved, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty - Death. - From the doubt expressed as to the act being a felonious taking, if no other charge is entered upon against the prisoner, judgement will be arrested.
Surrey Assizes.- These assizes commenced at Kingston-upon-Thames, on Monday, before Mr.Baron Hullock and Mr.Justice Littledale. James Target and George Withers were indicted for stealing, at St. George's, Southwark, on the 13th of August last, a mare, the property of Mary Burridge. - Mr.Brodrick conducted the prosecution, and Mr.Dowling the defence.- lt appeared in evidence, that in the night of the 10th of August the mare in question was stolen from a field of the prosecutrix, who resides at Tisbury, in Wiltshire. On the 13th of August, the prisoner Target brought the mare and a pony to the Obelisk Livery Stables, St. George's-fields, for sale, and left them there. Shortly afterwards, he returned with the other prisoner, a youth of 19, and took the mare away, and on the 16th of August he sold her for �6. to a pork-butcher, in Aylesbury-street, Clerkenwell. On the next day the prisoners were apprehended. -The prisoner Target, who lived in the prosecutrix's neighbourhood, now confessed the fact of the robbery, and endeavoured to implicate his companion; but there being no evidence against the latter, he was acquitted but the former was found Guilty - Death.
Journeyman Beggar.- On Tuesday, two ballad singers were committed to Shrewsbury county gaol, to hard labour, for one month, as vagrants; a third a blind man, who had been engaged by the other, as a journeyman, at Hereford, and who, after traversing with them to Shrewsbury, where he had earned them 11 shilIings per day ! (and only received his meat, drink, and lodging, of his services! ) was passed to his parish.- Worcester Herald.
MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Dec.12.- Stanley de Courcey Ireland, and EIizabeth Gravett, were this day put to the bar, on an indictmcnt charging them with having entered into a conspiracy, and with being confederate with Frederick Ponsonby and John Gravett, alias Gordon, (not in custody), to defraud, in the parish of Mary-la-bonne, divers tradesmen, in the months of September and October last past.- Mr.Martin, Member for Galway, deposed that the prisoner Ireland was nephew to Sir Edward Stanley, and was a few years since possessed of a good property. Several tradesmen deposed that the prisoner and Ponsonby obtained goods of them, under pretence of being persons of great fortune. As none of the evidence affected the female prisoner, she was discharged; but the jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Ireland, who was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment and hard labour.
AWKWARD MISTAKE.- On Thursday evening, a man, mistaking the police lock-up for a place of refreshment, walked into it and called about him for a glass of ale. Unfortunately, however, for him, it happened that the officers had received an account of the escape of one Joseph Hinde (a convict under sentence of transportation) from the House of Correction at Kendal, accompanied with a particular description of his person; and being struck with the resemblance borne by the stranger, they proceeded to make the necessary enquiry, when singularly enough, he turned out to be the very man. He was immedialely secured and yesterday sent back to Kendal, from whence it appears he has been absent ever since the 12th of July.- Preston Pilot.
EXTRAORDINARY BIRTHS.- Lately, the wife of Mr.Bowey, of Houghton-le-Spring, of three boys, two of whom and the mother are doing well; also the wife of Mr.J.J.Newsham, of Manchester, tobacconist, of three female children; also the wife of a collier at Barnley, Lancashire, of three girls.
Windsor, Dec.13.- A melancholy act of self-destruction was perpetrated here yesterday morning, between the hours of three and four, by Mr.Godfrey, surgeon, of this borough, who put period to his existence by cutting his throat.
A most shocking accident occurred at Bramford, near Ipswich, yesterday afternoon. As Major Whitefoord, eldest son of Sir T Whitefoord, was walking in Bramford Park, with Miss Franklin, with a loaded gun in his hand, his foot slipped, and by some means the trigger was pulled; the piece went off, and it killed him almost immediately.
During the night of Friday last, three large mastiffs got into a field belonging to Mr.Coleman, of Chiverell, and of a flock of 97 recently purchased lambs, they killed fifty, and dreadfully maimed and lacerated nearly the whole of the remaimler. So ferocious were the dogs, that it was with great dlfficulty they could be removed from the mutilated carcases of the lambs. The dogs belonged to Mr.Selby of Stoke and Mrs.Butcher, of Chiverell, who caused them to be immediately destroyed, and have since paid the value of the lambs.
On Thursday the 8th inst. a coroners inquest was held at Whatley, near Frome, on the body of Thomas Hodges, a labourer, found on the Sunday preceding dreadfully bruised, and several marks of violence on his person. lt appeared he had quitted a public-house called the Ring of Bells, at Frome, late on the Saturday night, and was proceeding homewards to MelIs, when he must have been attacked and murdered by some person or persons unknown, about half way between Frome and Mells at a place called Murdercombottom, in the parish of Whatley.
Weymouth, Dec 15.- ln pursuance of a requisition addressed to John Martin, Esq. Mayor, a numerous and highly respectable meeting of the inhabitants took place this morning at the Guildhall, his Worship in the chair, when it was unanimously resolved to take in payment the notes issued by Messrs. Bower and Eliot, and those of Messrs. Henning, Bower, and M'Lorg.
Dec. 17.- The Duke of Gloucester and suite yesterday left Lulworth Castle for Bagshot.
Poole, Dec.16.- On Sunday morning died, Samuel Hayward, son of John Hayward, Esq. of London, aged 13 years, much regretted by his family and friends.
Winchester
Saturday, December 17.
A numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Romsey took place at the town-hall this day, the Mayor in the chair; when a series of resolutions were unanimously adopted, declaratory of the entire confidence of the persons present in the respectability of the two bank in the town, and of their full determination to support them. - (The copy of the resolutions was received too late for insertion.)
On Friday morning an intimation having been given, that it was probable a parargraph would have been inserted in the Dorchester County Chronicle,. that one or our Banks had stopped payment, a notice was issued by our worthy Mayor at half-past twelve, for a meeting of the principle inhabitants at three o'clock, at which hour as full and as respectable a meeting assembled as ever was witnessed, when a resolution, expressing the fullest confidence in our Banks was entered into, of which a copy will be seen in another part of this paper. It is deserving remark that the Mayor stated that he had proposed on a previous day a wish to convene a similar meeting, which was opposed by the friends of the bankers.
We are requested to state that the principal Inhabitants of the towns of Ringwood and Christchurch have expressed their fullest confidence in the means and substance of the banking establishments in their respective towns; and being satisfied that acting generalIy upon that confidence at the present moment would materially tend to ally the apparent anxiety of the public mind, have declared their determination to receive the Notes of such Banks, and give their detailed countenance and support, earnestly recommending individuals to adopt the same course, as the best means of restoring general confidence.
We find that the Christchurch and Wimborne Bank, Messrs Dean and Co. in consequence of the very unexpected stoppage of the Dorchester Bank, was so run upon on Wednesday and Thursday last at Wimborne, as to have exhausted their gold, which has caused a temporary suspension until they are supplied. But we are happy to learn that the neighbourhood have agreed to receive their notes as usual. We understand they will in a few days be ready to meet every demand upon them, and the press them will of course cease, particularly as we understand, by an investigation of their affairs, the firm will have, after discharging every demand upon them, a property to the full amount of �90,000.
His Majesty's ship Superb, of 78 guns, arrived from Lisbon, is ordered to be paid off, and recommissioned as a guard-ship at Portsmouth; the command of which is given to Captain Hill; and Richard Hallilay, Esq. late Secretary to Rear-Adm.Sir Wm.Fahie, K.C.B. in the West Indies and North America, is appointed Purser of her.
The removal of Stockbridge market on Thursday last was most numerously and respectably attended. Upwards of fifty dealers and farmers sat down to dinner at the Grosvenor Arms Hotel, at which Peter Green, Esq. presided, with Mr.Hinton Bailey., jun. as his Vice-President. To the urbanity of the President was added the most perfect agricultural knowledge., which he imparted to the company in a speech of great eloquence, which was most rapturously received, and the conviviality of the meeting was kept up till a late hour, when the President left the chair amidst the kindest wishes of the company for his health and happiness. Upon the motion of the Vice-President, it was unanimously resolved that the market shall in future be held at eleven o'clock in the forenoon.
Married on Thursday, the 15th inst., at Wonston, near Winchester, by the Rev. George Augustus Legge, Vicar of Bray, the Hon.and Rev.Arthur Phillip Perceval, youngest son of Lord Arden, to Charlotte Anne, eldest daughter of the Hon. and Rev.Augustus George Legge, Chancellor of Winchester.
On Thursday last was married at Monxton, by the Rev.Dr.Hurd, Mr.Fifield, of Ecchingswell, Hants, to Amy Louisa Vincent, youngest daughter of the late Mr.Vincent, of Litchfield, in the same county.
Monday died, after a few days illness, Emma, eldest daughter of Thomas Jones, Esq. of Ringwood.
On Wednesday the 7th inst. died, much respected in the 29th year of her age, Ann, fifth daughter of Catherine and James Saunders, of Lower Wallop.
Southampton
Saturday, December 17.
On Monday last a scene of considerable alarm was exhibited in the neighbourhood of Messrs.Kellow and Pritchard's Bank in this town. The bank did not open as usual, while on the door was displayed a placard purporting that in consequence of the stoppage of Sir Peter PoIe and Co. the Bank would be obliged to suspend its payments for a few days. In the course of the day the public feeling was however considerably tranquillized by the principal shops making known their intention of receiving the notes of Kellow and Pritchard in payment of goods; and although the immediate consequence was a severe run on both the other banks; the confidence of the note-holders now seems to be perfectly restored not only in the solvency of those banks, but it is confidently expected that the house of Kellow and Pritchard wiII resume payment in the course of the ensuing week.
On Monday the theatre closed for the season. The pieces selected for the occasion were "Paul Pry," and "Family Jars." We were happy to find that Mr.Kelly whose benefit it was, experienced no sensible drawback from the unfortunate catastrophe of the last week. We observe that an Amateur Play is announced for the benefit of Mrs.Wingrove and Mr.Ennis, to take place on the 5th of January next.
Married by licence on Monday last, at All Saints Church, by the Rev.Thomas Mears, Hester Counsel, eldest daughter of Mr.John Shartman, auctioneer, of this town, to Mr.Wm.Wren, builder, of Tunbridge WeIls, in the county of Kent.
On Sunday last was married, by the Rev.Dr.Wilson, at Holy Rhood Church, Mr.John Bricknell, of the CastIe Inn, to Mrs.Primer, widow of the late Mr.John Primer, of the Vine Inn, Southampton.
On Thursday was married, by the Rev.Thos.Mears, at All Saints Church, Mr.John Thorn, of Millbrook, to Miss Maunder, of this town.
On Thursday last died at the house of her daughter, in London, Sarah, the wife of Mr. Henry Moss, of this town, staymaker, aged 60.
Salisbury
Monday, December 19, 1825
A public meeting of the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood was held at the town-hall, Warminster, on Friday, in consequence of the general pressure on country banks, occasioned by the stoppage of several eminent bankers in London, when Wm.Temple, Esq. was called to the chair, and, upon the motion of Colonel A'Court, a resolution was unanimously adopted, expressing the entire conviction of the meeting, of the stability of the banks of that place, and their determination to receive in payment the notes of Messrs. Everett, Thring, and Co., and Messrs. Phipps, Biggs, and Co., and to impress on the holders of such notes, the propriety of manifesting a similar confidence. -(See advertisement in this page).
One hundred and sixty inhabitants of Frome have affixed their signatures to a statement expressing their perfect confidence in the stability of the banks of that town and of Warminster.
The suspension of payments at the bank of Messrs.Williams and Co. in Birchin-lane, London, on Tuesday last, occasioned a similar suspension at the Dorchester Bank, which drew on Messrs.Williams. A correspondent, in a letter from Dorchester, dated Saturday, Dec.17, says : "Although the Dorchester Bank has not yet resumed its payments, we do not therefore conceive that the public are to entertain less sanguine ideas of their intention to do so, or of their ultimate solvency. Mr.Williams had scarcely arrived in town when the latest account left, consequently the beneficial arrangements which he was to make in London could not have been completed, nor their effects as yet felt in the country; but there are good grounds for supposing that early in the ensuing week, payments and, general business will be resumed."
Lord Arundell, Mr.Farquhar, Mr.Benett, Mr.Mortimer, and all the gentlemen in the neighbourhood, have signed a Circular that they will take the Notes of the Shaftesbury Bank to any amount, recommending the public to do the same.
We hear that Westbury Church, in this county, which has been shut for eight months, for the purpose of being new-pewed, and undergoing a thorough repair, will he re-opened on New-year's day. The Reverend Archdeacon Fisher has been pleased to accept an invitation from the Vicar and parishioners to preach on the occasion. We also understand that several musical amateurs have volunteered their services to celebrate the happy event. The above is now considered as one of the handsomest churches in the West of England. It is gratifying to add, that this essential measure, though very expensive, has been carried into effect (to the credit of the parishioners be it stated) without, from first to last, one dissentient voice.
Exemplary Act of Benevolence . - Lady Churchill has sent sixty blankets, to be distributed by Mr.Robinson amongst the industrious poor people of West Lavington, in this county. This seasonable supply of! clothing is the fifth which her Ladyship has sent to the poor of that place, exclusively of what her Ladyship gives to other villages in Oxfordshire, &c.
Mr.Payne's annual ball is fixed for Friday next, and from that gentleman's well-known abilities and extensive connexion, a crowded room is anticipated. The lovers of dancing will no doubt be gratified with the assistance of a harp and French flageolet, -a novelty which this city has never before experienced.
Education,--The examination and recitations of the young gentlemen under the care of the Rev.Thomas Evans, Grosvenor House, Shaftesbury, took place on Thursday last before Charles Bowles, Esq. chairman, and a numerous and respectable audience. The whole went off in a manner highly gratifying to the company, and creditable to the diligence and talents of the pupils. The worthy chairman, after expressing the great satisfaction he felt in the proceecdings of the day, was pleased to speak in terms of the warmest commendation of the system of instruction pursued by Mr.Evans.
Organs, which not many years ago were, like all other instruments generally objected to by dissenters, are now coming into general use amongst them, and are frequently built on as large a scale as those used in our Churches. One has just been erected at the Tabernacle, Trowbridge, which has four diapasons, two lately added, an open and double diapason, also a set of pedals, consisting of twelve stops, with a swell to the whole organ; and many other ingenious improvements, which do great credit to the builder that executed the work, who, we understand, is Mr. Parker, of Bath, and late of Wilton in this neighbourhood.
Birth.- On Friday the 16th inst. the lady of the Rev.C.F.Watkins, of Farley, Wilts, of a daughter.
Thursday was married Mr.Thomas Drake, of Netherhampton, to Mrs.Chardler, of Romsey.
Died, on Monday, at her house in Lower Grosvenor-street, London, the Dowager Marchioness of Bath, in her ninety-second year.
On the 10th inst. died, at Whatcombe House, Dorset, Elizabetha Margaretta, the wife of Edmund Morton Pleydell, Esq. Her cheerful serenity and pious resignation under a long continuance of impaired health, united to a general benevolence of mind, rendered her a bright example of the Christian character, and have occasioned her loss to be most severely felt in her own family, amongst a large circle of friends, and the surrounding poor, by whom she wIll long be remembered as a kind benefactress.
On the 5th inst, died, the Rev.George Gerrard Hayter, aged 73, Rector of Compton Bassett, Wilts.
Died on Wednesday last, at her house in Castle-street, Salisbury, sincerely lamented, Anna Maria, relict of the late Francis Powell, Esq. of Hurdcott House, in this county.
Lately died the Rev.Samson White, rector of Maidford, Notts, and vicar of Uphaven, Wilts.
On Monday last died, in the 60th year of his age, Mr.William Howden, first Serjeant at Mace to our Corporation.
An inquest was held by Mr.Whitmarsh, on Friday morning, at Alderbury, on the body of an infant five months old, who was burnt to death the preceding day. The mother had left the child for only 5 minutes, whilst she went to a pump not many yards from her house; and on her return she found her child in flames: a surgeon was sent for, but the infant expired before his arrival- Verdict. "Accidentally burnt to Death"
Another inquest was held by Mr.Whitmarsh at Downton, on Saturday the 17th instant, on the body of Henry Bishop, a lad about eleven years of age, who was accidentally drowned in the river of that place, the preceeding day. Verdict accordingly.
The notorious James Targett, of Hindon, was convicted on Monday at the assizes at Kingston upon Thames, of stealing a mare the property of Mrs.Burridge, of Tisbury, in August last. (See particulars in 2d page.) He had also, at the same time, stolen a horse from Mr.Thomas Williams, of the same parish.
Winchester, 16th Dec. 1825.
IT being made known here this Morning that an Agent, residing at Southampton, of the Dorset County Chronicle, a newspaper published at Dorchester, had sent a paragraph for insertion that the Firm of Messrs. Deane and Littlehales, Bankers here, had stopped payment, a MEETING was convened by the MAYOR, to be held at the Guildhall at three o'clock, when the following Resolution was moved by William Simonds, jun. Esq. and seconded by the Reverend Harry Lee, FeIlow of Winchester College, and Bursar of that Society :
WE, the undersigned, having the fullest confidence in the means and substance of the several Banking Establishments in this City, and being satisfied that acting generally upon that confidence at the present moment would materially tend to allay the present anxiety of the public mind, do hereby declare our determination to receive their Notes and to give them our decided countenance and support, earnestly recommending individuals to adopt the same course as the best means of restoring general confidence. - Signed

WE, the undersigned Inhabitants of this Town and Neighbourhood, having observed the Suspension of Payment by some London Banking-Houses, and anticipating the great inconvenience and pressure that may consequently result to all Country Banks and the Public at large, wholly arising from an undue want of confidence, do hereby express our entire conviction of the stability of the Banks of this place, and our determination to receive in payment the Notes of Messrs.EVERETT, THRING, and Co. and Messrs. PHIPPS, BIGGS, and.Co. and do earnestly impress on the holders of such Notes the propriety of manifesting a similar confidence.
