Some Selected Reports from the Salisbury and Winchester Journal
Monday, July 11th, 1825
An extraordinary investigation took place on Thursday, at the Regent's Arms, near Vauxhall Bridge road, before Mr.Higgs, the coroner, and a Jury, respecting the death of a fine male infant. It appears that a basket has been delivered at the house of Mr. Fricker, 6, Vincent-street, Vauxhall-road, by a porter from Hatchett's, in Piccadilly, directed to Mr.F; on opening which , a quantity of paper, rose leaves, and a parcel of musk, presented themselves, and underneath, wrapped in two pocket handkerchiefs, the dead body of the infant was found. The basket came from the Southampton night coach, that runs to the Bell and Crown, Holborn, and it was regularly booked at the Black Swan Inn, at Winchester, by Mr.Higgs, the landlord; but the label to the basket was evidently in two hand-writings, apparently in a male and female hand. Mrs.Fricker deposed that she had not the least conception from whom the child came; and Mrs.Marshall (who resided at Mr.F.s house) stated that she knew of no person, male or female, that Mr.F. was acquainted with at Winchester. As no satisfactory information could be procured from the examination, the Jury adjourned to Monday next; Weale, the officer, was immediately despatched to Winchester to make inquires. Mr.F. has been some time confined to his bed-room, with a complication of disorders; he has offered a reward of 25 guineas for a discovery of the perpetrators of the deed.

The 14th anniversary of the Hampshire Society for the Education of the Infant Poor on the plan of the Rev.Dr. Bell, and in the principles of the Established Church, took place on Tuesday last in this city. At half past ten, the children, about 400 in number. moved in procession from their school-rooms, followed by their master and mistress, to the Cathedral Church, to hear Divine Service, where a most able and appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev.Dr. Shuttleworth, Warden of New College, Oxford. The audience was most numerous and respectable, and a highly successful collection was made after the service, at the church door, amounting to the sum of �71. 6s. 8d. The different classes afterwards proceeded to St.John's House, where they passed an examination. The conduct of the children, and their neat, decent, and cleanly appearance, gave great satisfaction; and their improvement in reading, writing, arithmetic, but particularly in religious acquirements, shewed the constant attention and care of their instructors. The annual report of the committee was then read, and it appeared that there we're at present in the school at Winchester 185 boys and 195 girls, and that 46 boys and 43 girls had left it during the last year, who could all of them read their Bible; and the committee took an opportunity of observing that the Iast annual report of the characters of those who had left the school, and now in service, during the last three years was for the most part highly satisfactory, and such as to enable them to speak positively of the general good resulting from the national system of education. The advantages to the scholars have been great, and the committee attribute them in no slight degree to the exertions of the master and mistress Mr.Webb and Mrs.Dunn, to whom they were glad to express publicly their acknowledgements and their thanks. The committee noticed the discontinuance of two excellent schools at Preston Candover, established and supported by the late Mr. Blackburn and his sister; but they had the pleasure to report the probability of a new school-room being erected at Romsey, which would enable the Romsey committee to increase their number to 300 boys. To accomplish this desirable object Lord Palmerston had liberally offered to give the land and a donation of �150. and Mr.Fleming also offered a donation of �100. The reports from those places which have adopted the system are highly favourabIe, and the prosperity of the schools may be judged of by the increase of 454 children above that of last year. At the close of the report the children were conducted to the Cathedral church-yard, where at tables placed under the trees, they partook of old English fare, roast beef and plum pudding. At about 4 o'clock a large party of gentry dined together at the George Inn.

CAUTION.- A correspondent at Ringwood requests us to state, that a person of suspicious character has been for the last two or three days in the neighbourhood of Burley, near Ringwood, who described himself as having been a lieutenant in the Navy; he called on two respectable ladies of that place to offer caps for sale, but both of them, regarding him as a mysterious character, and the articles being of a very inferior quality, they declined purchasing. The impostor then circulated some vile reports as to their character, for which they are determined to bring him to justice if he can be found. He was tolerably well dressed in a blue coat and white trowsers, having a genteel appearance, about 5 feet 6 inches high, of a slender make, and much disfigured with the small pox.
On Wednesday last Charles Riggs, and Mary his wife, of the parish of Lyndhurst, were charged before the Magistrates at their petty sessions at Ringwood, with having obstructed two of his Majesty's officers of Excise in the discharge of their duty. The officers proved that having a warrant to search Riggs's house for smuggled liquor, one of them followed Mary Riggs into a cellar, where there was a jar which she put under her apron, declaring it was home-made wine, and that the officer had no right to it. The officer shewing that he was determined to ascertain what the jar contained, Mary Riggs broke the jar, and spilt the contents, but the officer was enabled to collect sufficient quantity in his hand to prove that the jar contained brandy. Riggs and his wife were ably defended by Mr.Bryant, solicitor, of Southampton, who contended that the Magistrates had no jurisdiction in the case, and he submitted other objections to any conviction. After a long investigation, the Magistrates overruled the objections, and fined the defendant, Mary Riggs, in the penalty of forty pounds.
At the same sessions, Mr.Kent, of Minsteed, was fined �25. for having smuggled liquor on his premises.
CAUTION.-On Monday an inquest was taken by Mr.John Earle, coroner of this city, on view of the body of Alfred Collins, son of Mr.Collins, hair-dresser, in the Square, aged about five years, whose death was occasioned by a blow from a stone thrown at him by another child in play, which struck him in the head.

Salisbury,
Monday, July 11, 1825.
The Right Reverend Dr. Burgess, Bishop of SaIisbury, was on Wednesday last enthroned in the see of his diocese, with the customary forms. His Lordship, previously to his arrival in this city, had alighted from his carriage about two miles from hence, in a field on Bishopdown farm, (belonging to one of the episcopal manors), where, in compliance with custom, his Lordship cut a turf, thereby taking possession of the temporalities of his see. His Lordship arrived here, accompanied in his carriage by the Rev. Chancellor Marsh, and William Boucher, Esq. and was received by the Mayor and Corporation at the Council Chamber; after making a short stay, and partaking of some refreshment there, his Lordship was conducted by the Corporate body to a house in High-street. situated at the corner of New-street. This house, which is near the north gate of the Close, is said to be the spot where the first dwelling in the city was erected; and it has been the custom from time immemorial, for the newly-appointed Bishops of the diocese to enter it on their arrival here. The house was formerly the Sun and Lamb inn. When the Mayor and Corporation had conducted the Bishop to this house, they took their leave of his Lordship, who was here received by the Very Rev. the Dean, the Canons, and Prebendaries of thc Cathedral, and several other Clergymen of the diocese. Upon entering the Close, and arriving opposite the Rev.Mr.Greenly's grammar school, the Bishop was addressed in a latin oration by the senior chorister boy of the Cathedral, who receives his education on the foundation of the school. The procession then advanced to the west door of the Cathedral, on entering which, the usual oaths were taken by the Bishop. The ceremony of enthroning his Lordship then took place, and Te Deum was sung; his Lordship was conducted by the Dean and the other Clergymen to the Chapter House, and was afterwards installed in the Prebendal stall of Potterne. The ceremonies being then concluded, his Lordship was conducted to his Episcopal Palace.
A vast concourse of persons had assembled to witness the Bishop's arrival, and the subsequent ceremonies.
The Bishop's Lady arrived at the Episcopal Palace on Wednesday afternoon.
On Tuesday the 21st ult. the Clergy of the Deanery of Melenith, in the county of Radnor, held a clerical meeting at Llaugunllo, in the said county, at which the Rev.W J. Rees, Rector of Cascob, presided, when, among other proceedings, an Address was unanimously voted to their late learned and much respected Diocesan, of which the following is a copy:
"To the Right Reverend Thomas Burgess, D.D. Lord Bishop of Salisbury, late Lord Bishop of St.David's.---- We the undersigned Clergy and Deanery of Melenith, in the county of Radnor, and Diocese of St.Davids, think proper to address your Lordship, and express our regret on your ceasing to be our Diocesan by being translated to another See. When we bear in mind your Lordship's continued residence in the Diocese, unless when necessarily absent, your close attention to its various minute concerns, and your holding stated Confirmations in its most distant parts - when we recollect your Lordship's systematic and continued exertions for the improvement of Candidates for Holy Orders by a minute inquiry into their qualifications, and by requiring from those who had not the advantage of a University education, the pursuit of a prescribed course of professional study in the licensed Grammar Schools of the Diocese, and especially your projecting and promoting the building of 'St.David's College' for the future education of Candidates, in order to duly qualify them for the important duties of the sacred office - when we bear in mind your Lordship's laudable exertions for the particular welfare of the Diocese in projecting and patronizing 'the Society instituted therein for promoting Christian Knowledge and Chuch Union,' and the writing and publishing various Works for the instruction of the Clergy and Laity, and for the general support of the Church against attacks of Roman Catholic and Unitarian Writers by your numerous and important publications - When we call to remembrance your Lordship's particular attention to the exigencies of the Diocese in requiring the Incumbents and Curates of the Welsh parishes to be well acquainted with the language of their congregations, and your projecting and patronizing 'the Cambrian Society' for the general literary improvement in the Diocese, and the more particularly encouraging the attainment of the Welsh language among the Clergy for the benefit of their Welsh parishioners - when we reflect on your Lordship's exertions in inducing an improved state of repair in Churches, and your promoting the building of new Churches and Chapels in large parishes, for accommodating an increased population - and when in addition to these, and many other particulars which might be mentioned, we bear in mind the freedom of access which you allowed to your Clergy, and your general condescension, and affability of demeanour; that your were our personal friend, and the Guide whom we anxiously wished to follow, we contemplate the separation which has lately taken place between us, with emotions of no small pain and regret. However, although the circumstance occasions pain to our feelings, yet we warmly hope that, so far from diminishing, it will ultimately add considerably to your Lordship's happiness, and by taking away the necessity for your travelling long journies in the execution of your episcopal duties, contribute to the prolongation of your valuable life, and thereby enable you to continue for a longer time, and we trust for many years, your important and indefatigable labours in the cause of religion in the new sphere in which it has pleased Providence to place you. With these sentiments, and with the warmest expressions of esteem and veneration, we subscribe ourselves your Lordship's most obedient humble servants."
