Some Selected Reports from the Salisbury and Winchester Journal



Monday, November 16th, 1812

LONDON.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9.

The Aggregate Catholic Meeting of the County of Dublin was held on the 5th inst. in that City, when series of Resolutions were entered into, expressive of their determination to obtain their right, and not to accept it unless unconditionally.

It is said that Bernard Trotter, Esq. who was private! Secretary to the late Mr. Fox, has been arrested and committed to Wexford Gaol, on a charge of frequenting secret meetings, and of assault and rescue.

The FOOTPAD, who shot himself on Saturday se'nnight, near Wandsworth, after robbing Mr. Thorley, has been recognized by his friends, and proves to have been a journeyman bookbinder, named James Galar, who resided in School-house-lane, Ratcliff, and had almost constant employ at the shop of Mr. Fawkner, near Tower-hill, where he had for some time past been in the receipt of 40s. per week.Galer was 24 years of age, had been married about ten months, and was only in debt a few pounds to his taylor, and to another person for some furniture. He had borrowed the pistol of a relation, under pretence of it being a protection on a walk to his father, at Enfield-green. He received 18s. for wages due to him on the Friday night, gave his wife 1s. 6d. on the Saturday morning, when he set off for his father's; and not returning home, the account of the robbery and suicide excited the suspicions of his friends, which were realized on their going to view the body at Wandsworth.

A sailor belonging to Sunderland has been taken into custody at Stockton, on suspicion of having murdered a young woman of the latter place. It appears that the clothes of the female were found a few days ago lying by the side of the river, and from the parties being seen together late on the preceding night, suspicion attached to the young man. He was in consequence apprehended, and in his trunk was found a bloody shirt, which made the case against him so strong as to warrant his committal.

MURDER.- On the 24th ult. James Milburn, of Darlington, was found by two shepherds, in a dying state, on the road between that town and the Akendale Lead Mines, with two dreadful wounds in the head. The unfortunate man had called at public house for refreshment, a short time before he was found, and informed a person there that he was proceeding to the lead mines with a considerable sum of money; and it is supposed he engaged this person (who was unknown to the people of the house) to accompany him for security. It is further supposed that the murderer was disturbed by the approach of the shepherds, the money being found in the pockets of the deceased. The Coroner's Jury found a verdict of Wilful Murder by some person unknown.

FATAL AERIAL EXCURSIONS. - M. Zambeccari, accompanied by a friend ascended in a balloon, from Bologna, on the 21st of September. On his descent the balloon became entangled in the branches of a high tree, and, before it could be disengaged, caught fire. The two aeronauts leaped out. M. Zambeccari was killed on the spot; but M. Bologna, his friend, survived, though some of his limbs were broken.
The ascension of the mechanician, Bittorf, from Manheim, was equally disastrous. When he had risen to a considerable height, he perceived too late, that his balloon was damaged, and he had no other resource than to open the valve. The balloon descended with extreme velocity; the inflammable matter which it contained took fire; the shreds of the balloon fell upon M. Bittorf's head and breast, which were much burnt. On a sudden, his crazy vehicle struck upon the roof of a house, two stories high, from which he was precipitated, and died the next day in great agony.




LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11.

The Pyramus frigate arrived yesterday at Yarmouth from the Baltic, having on board the Vice-Admiral Sir J. Saumarez, who immediately landed and proceeded to town. The report noticed above, that the French were retreating from Russia, is mentioned by the Officers of the Pyramus.
Before the Victory, Capt. Dumaresq, sailed from the Baltic, Rear-Admiral Morris has left the Vigo, and arrived overland from Hano, and hoisted his flag in the Zealous, Captain T. Boys. - Twenty-three sail of Russian line-of-battle ships were expected at Wingo Sound from Russia, on their way to England. Admiral Crown's flag was flying on board the North Eagle; he has the command of seven sail of the line that had been cruizing in the Baltic.

Yesterday, about one o'clock, the iron pipes for the conveyance of water, at the bottom of St.Martin's-lane, burst, with a tremendous noise, similar to that of the discharge of a piece of ordnance; in which the water of an immense body, rose considerably higher than the tops of the houses, to the great inconvenience of the neighbourhood, as the greater part of Charing Cross, in less than a quarter of an house, was completely inundated.

Eleven persons were committed last week to York Castle, on charges of shear-breaking, and other offences, in the neighbourhood of Huddersfield: seven have been committed on the charge of their having been concerned in the attack and demolition of Mr. Cartwright's mill, at Liversedge, in April last; several others are in custody, and the police in that district are apprehending and bringing in prisoners daily.

ROBBERY of the LEEDS MAIL - After a diligent investigation, it is supposed the money contained in the different bags stolen, amounts to about �15,000 not any of which has yet been discovered or come in. The robbery it has been ascertained was committed between Burton and Higham Ferrers. The Guard had rode from Kettering to Burton with the coachman, there being no outside passenger. At Burton the Guard purchased a couple of ducks, and put them into the locker, which contains the bags, when he was positive all the bags were safe. They proceeded on to Higham Ferrers, to which place the guard continued riding with the coachman. He there has occasion to open the locker again, when he discovered all the bags had been taken out, but by what means could not be ascertained, as no violence appeared to have been used either to the lock or the spring. Great alarm was spread in consequence; the guard took the precaution to send a man express back to Kettering, to give notice of the robbery, and he proceeded on with the coach towards London. From the information then given, and from subsequent enquiries, Lavender, the Bow-street Officer, has traced a man named Kendall, who rented a toll-gate on the road leading from Huntingdon to Kettering, who was sometimes since convicted of uttering counterfeit money, and who has frequently been seen in company with thieves. This man was out in a cart, in company with a stranger, on the night of the robbery, and it appears he went by the bye roads to a lane leading to that part of the turnpike road where the mails were lost: his sister, who resided with him, was afterwards out clandestinely with the same man, in a post-chaise, which took them to Huntingdon. The stranger could be traced no farther, and there has been no discovery of any of the stolen property. Lavender took them both before a Magistrate at Wellingborough, when, in addition to the above, a variety of other circumstantial evidence was produced. Kendall was fully committed for trial, as a principal in committing the robbery, and his sister was fully committed, as an accessary after the fact. On Friday Lavender conveyed them to Northampton, and lodged them in the prison there, to take their trials at the ensuing Assizes.

On Thursday last Mr. J. Cririe was most barbarously murdered in Halferne, in the parish of Crossmichael and stewarty of Kirkcudbright, in Scotland. The deceased was found weltering in his blood, at noon, and there was no doubt but the deadly wounds had been given by a spade. When found he was not quite dead, but too far gone to give any account of the murderers.

Palm and Telling, the two men in custody on suspicion of the murder of Captain Keith, and Mr. Smith, the Commander and Chief Mate of the Adventurer, South Sea whaler, were yesterday brought up to Union Hall for re-examination. H. Madis, a boy about 13 years of age, who was apprentice to Capt. Keith, and on board the Adventurer at the time, and in consequence of whose information the prisoners were apprehended, was again examined, and his statement was exactly the same as that he originally made; viz. on the night on which the murders were committed, he was sleeping in his hammock, near the Captain's cabin, who, as well as the Mate, were also in bed; a boy named George Rose was at the helm, and either in the first or second watch, he could not say which, he was awoke by Rose calling down the hatchways in a low voice to the Captain - "Capt. Keith, Capt. Keith, something wrong is going forward on deck." The Captain got out of bed and went up in his shirt, but returned again immediately, and called Mr. Smith, and they went out on deck together. Soon after he heard Mr. Smith call out - "O Lord, O Lord !" he was alarmed, and got of his hammock, and as he was standing, he saw the prisoner Palm and others throw Capt.K.'s body overboard. The Captain made no resistance, and he supposed he was dead at that time. Soon after, he heard the Chief Mate in the water, calling out - "boat, boat." In his account of what followed, namely the administering the oath of secrecy, the murder of the two blacks, the scuttling the ship, and taking to the boats, their landing on the Guinea coast, and falling into the hands of the Blacks, and their subsequent arrival in England, he fully corroborated the account given by Telling.- Palm, on being questioned, declared he had no knowledge of the murder of Capt. Keith, till he was told if he not agree to it he would himself be killed. It was, therefore, to preserve his own life he had done it. He had not stated this before, because he was reluctant to break his oath. Mr. Birnie advised the prisoner to be cautious, and not to say anything to criminate himself; enough had already been stated to warrant his committing him fully for trial.- The prisoners were accordingly fully committed for trial at the next Admiralty Sessions.




Port News.

FALMOUTH, Nov. 12. The Ann packet, from Corunna, in eight days, arrived last night; and this morning the Prince Ernest packet, from Lisbon, in ten days; and the Eliza, from Malta and Gibraltar (eight days from the latter place).- There is no account of the expected general battle in Spain. Clausel's army, in the neighbourhood of Burgos, amounts to about 30,000 men, - Two regiments from Cork arrived at Corunna the day before the Ann sailed, and proceeded from thence to Lisbon. It appears the army from Majorca still remained at Alicante: some attribute its inactivity to the want of cavalry.
The outward-bound Mediterranean and Newfoundland fleets, which sailed some time since from Portsmouth, are forced back to this port by contrary winds.
The Simon Taylor, Capt. Meek, which has lately arrived from Jamaica, sailed on the 4th of September, and spoke the Swallow packet, with mails for England. She fell in with an American, and beat her off. Great fears are entertained for the safety of the packet.

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 13. On Sunday night a French General Officer arrived express from London, went on board a sloop of war, and proceeded for the coast of France: It is said he is to be landed at the mouth of some river, as convenient as possible for his reaching Paris. The circumstance has given rise to much speculation.

Private accounts brought, it is said, by his Majesty's ship Fortunee, state, that on the 1st of November Lord Wellington's, head-quarters were at Cabezon, and that the French were at Duenas. Lord Wellington had, it was said, cut off an advanced guard of the enemy, and made prisoners 300 cavalry and 400 infantry. Government have not received any dispatches, which it is supposed Lord Wellington has sent by way of Corunna or Lisbon; it is understood that they give credit to the private accounts, which reached Santander just before the Fortunee sailed.

WINCHESTER,
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14.

A Convocation was held at Oxford on Thursday last, in which it was resolved to present petitions to both Houses of Parliament, praying that "those laws which prevent the admission of persons professing the Roman Catholic religion to offices of the highest trust and authority, and to the power of framing laws for the Government of the Protestant Church and State, may NOT be repealed."
The Convocation was unusually full; and after much discussion, there was a decisive majority in favour of the Petition. The minority, however, was larger than was ever known on a similar occasion.
On Thursday last the second winter assembly took place at the New Rooms at Ringwood (lately erected by S. Tunks, Esq.) which was most numerously and respectably attended by the principal inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood. The dance was kept up to a late hour with the greatest good humour and spirit, the subscribers and visitors vying with each other in attention and politeness. The whole party felt particularly indebted to the Stewards (the Rev. J. Middleton and . White, Esq.) who certainly merited the high encomiums bestowed on them.

On Monday last Mr. Peter Erle was admitted a Scholar of New College, Oxford.

Lately was married Capt. Welby, of the 2d regiment of Life Guards, son of Sir William Welby, Bart. to Mrs. Penton, widow of the late Henry Penton, Esq. formerly of Eastgate House, in this city, and many years one of our Representatives in Parliament. Their Majesties visited Mr. Penton, at Eastgate House, after the review of the camp in this neighbourhood, upwards of thirty years ago; but another Mrs. Penton was then the wife of our Representative, and mistress of the mansion, and not the Lady now led a second time to the hymeneal altar.
On the 7th inst. was married, at Penton Mewsey, by the Rev. W.B. Fennel, Wm. Mitten of Chichester, Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, to Miss Mary Elmore, fourth daughter of Mr. George Elmore, of Penton Manor Farm.
Tuesday was married, at Newington, Surry, Mr. Payne, jeweller, of the Borough of Southwark, to Miss Marriner, of Newington, daughter of Mr.Marriner, taylor, of this city.
On Wednesday last was married Mr. Oke, merchant, to Mary-Ann, second daughter of Mr. John Fox, of St.Mary's, Southampton.
On Tuesday the 27th of October last died, at Andover, greatly lamented by her family, and regretted by all her acquaintance, Miss Ann Sanders, late of Abbott's-Ann. Her passage through life was marked by the strictest integrity and the most undeviating sincerity; and although the virtues of her character were chiefly exerted in the domestic circle, where she sought the happiness she most valued, yet good sense and great cheerfulness enabled her to please beyond it, and ensured the esteem of friends who will long feel the loss they have sustained.
On Sunday last the 8th inst. died, at Southampton, John Burdett, Esq in the 75th year of his age.
On Monday died Mrs. Pern, widow of the late Mr. Thomas Pern, of Crawley.
On Tuesday died here, greatly esteemed and regretted, Christopher Gauntlett, Esq. aged 37 years.

On Sunday evening last, as Mr. Thomas Mercer and Mr. J.L. Maud, of Andover, were returning home from Winchester, in a gig drawn by two horses, Mr. Maud, who had been driving, requested Mr. Mercer to take the reins, whilst he put on his gloves: it was then about half-past eight o'clock, and very dark; Mr. Maud observed that the horses were close on the ridge of the bank, and noticed the circumstances to Mr. Mercer; the latter gentleman, intending to obviate the danger, pulled the rein, but unfortunately on the wrong side; the horse and gig were thrown on the side of the road, and Mr. Mercer was killed on the spot. Mr. Maud was much bruised and stunned by the fall, and entangled a considerable time in the harness, but at length he disengaged himself, and got back to Winchester. Several persons then repaired the fatal spot, where they found the dead body of Mr. Mercer: one of the horses had broken loose; the other was pressed down by the carriage, and nearly exhausted, but soon recovered on being released.
A Coroner's lnquest having been taken on the body of Mr. Mercer, a verdict of Accidental Death was given, and on Thursday the body was removed to Andover for interment.
Mr. Mercer was related to many respectable families in Andover, and was greatly beloved and esteemed. The melancholy event spread a general gloom through the town; great anxiety was also excited for Mr. Maud, who is fortunately in a fair way.

LAW.- On Wednesday application was made to the Court of King's Bench, to set aside the Verdict given at the last Assizes here, in the cause Felcamp v. Barber, and to recover the sum of 100 guineas for the plaintiff, under the following circumstances:
The plaintiff, whose name is Mary Felcamp, and who is a mantua-maker at Gosport, having heard that a child had been stolen from his parents in London, and that suspicion had fallen upon some woman in the neighbourhood of Gosport, who had a little boy answering to the description of the child lost, gave information of the same to the defendant, who is keeper of the Bridewell at Gosport, desiring that he would not mention her name in the transaction, adding that she did not wish that her knowledge of the circumstance should be made public. At this time a reward of 100 guineas had been offered for the discovery of the child.
The defendant, whose name is Barber, readily acquiesced, and in the course of a few days it was ascertained that the child in question was the very infant who had been stolen from its parents in London, and that event was established, and the child returned to its parents, as our Readers must recollect.- The plaintiff considered herself entitled to the reward, applied for it, but heard that the parish officers had given it to Barber, the defendant, and she therefore brought her action against him for the recovery of the said 100 guineas paid to him in her stead by the parish officers of Gosport.
On the trial the Jury gave a verdict for �30. instead of 100 guineas, and Mr. Gazelee, for the defendant, moved that the verdict should be set aside, contending that if the plaintiff should appear entitled to any thing, it ought to be 100 guineas or nothing.
The Court heard the case with considerable attention, and Lord Ellenborough remarked, that taking the arguments of the learned Gentleman into their extent, against the plaintiff, and for the defendant, he was entitled not to �30. but to �50. half the premium; as it was clear that Barber could never have had any information about the lost child if the plaintiff had not furnished him with it; but being of opinion that the defendant, who got the 100 guineas, would, after this discussion, see the justice of the case, his Lordship consented that the Rule should go. - Rule Nisi granted.




SALISBURY.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16.

The Lord Bishop of this Diocese will hold an Ordination at Windsor on Sunday the 20th day of December next; the candidates are therefore desired to send their papers to his Lordship there, at least three weeks before the time, and appear on the Thursday preceding.
On Friday the Lords of the Council nominated the under-mentioned Gentlemen, from whom the Sheriffs of the respective Counties are to be appointed for the year ensuing:-

During the early part of last week there was a run on the two respectable banking houses at Weymouth, but which were soon checked by the judicious interposition of the Gentry, Merchants, and principal traders of the town, who were well assured that there could be no real cause for alarm, and signed an agreement to take the cash notes of both houses in payment to any amount. - See advertisement in the first page

On Sunday last the Churches of the Holy Trinity and St.Peter, at Dorchester, (where only single duty has been usually done) were opened for double duty, under the patronage of the Society for promoting the education of the poor. The Rev. J.O. Zillwood is appointed to the extra duty.

On Tuesday last was married Mr. Hill, of the Hon. East India Company's service, to Harriet only daughter of Mr. Oakley, of Wimborne.
On Thursday last was married, Mr. Bartlett, jun. baker, to Miss Lucas, youngest daughter of Mr. Lucas, fishmonger of this city.
Lately died, at Brighton, Mrs. Wade, widow of William Wade, Esq. many years Master of the Ceremonies there. Mr. Wade was also formerly Master of the Ceremonies at Bath (having succeeded Derrick) and at Tunbridge Wells; and wielded the sceptre at the same time in all these territories. But faction rent the State; Revolution was "the order of the day" in the world of fashion long ere it had been thought of in France: he was assailed at one and the same time in all his dominions, and resigned the sovereignty of Bath and Tunbridge to retain that of Brighton, which he held during the remainder of his life.
Lately died, at Lacock, Mrs. B. Davenport, the last surviving daughter of the late Dr. Davenport, of Lacock Abbey, in this county.
On Tuesday morning died, at her nephew's, in Sherborne, after a short illness, Mrs. Winter, eldest daughter of the late Mr. John Winter, of Tintinhull.

On Wednesday night died, Mr. J. Parsons, of Farley, gamekeeper and woodman to the Earls of Ilchester upwards of 30 years.

LAW.- Doe (on the demise of Bevin) v. Cruise - This was an action for ejectment, tried here at the last Assizes for the county of Wilts, before Mr.Baron Graham, when a verdict was given for the defendant. On Wednesday Mr. Serjeant Lenns, on behalf of the plaintiff, applied to the Court of King's Bench for a new trial, and stated the particulars of the case in question. The plaintiff, it was acknowledged, had a clear right to the estate, the subject of litigation, if he could substantiate the illegitimacy of John Cruise, the defendant and present possessor, who was born in 1781, under the following circumstances: his mother, in whose right he held the property, was, shortly previous to his birth, at school, in the neighbourhood of Devizes, from whence, before she had quite attainted her 20th year, she was persuaded to elope with John Cruise, the defendant's father, who was a music-master at the school, and they set out to consummate the marriage in Scotland.- They were absent about a fortnight, when they returned, as coming from Scotland, as man and wife, and were received as such by the lady's friends. They lived together several years, the defendant being the first fruit of that marriage. After some years they were separated. It appeared, however, that she received an allowance from Cruise as his wife, and that he always required the person who paid it, to see her, and ascertain that she was living. Whilst separate from Cruise, she said, on more than one occasion, that they had not been married; that they did not go to Scotland, but stopped short on the road; and that Cruise gave her a piece of paper, and said that would do, without going further. This was the evidence produced at the trial, upon which the Jury found a verdict for the defendant. The learned Serjeant now contended that this was not evidence sufficient to substantiate the defendant's legitimacy; that they should have produced some other proof of the marriage, or the verdict should have been the other way. Lord Ellenborough observed, the payments of the allowance by Cruise, after a separation, was strong proof that the woman had a legal claim upon him. It had been entirely a question for the Jury; they had decided it in favour of the marriage, and should the Court send it back again, they would most likely come to a similar decision. Rule refused.





To the independent Freeholders of WEYMOUTH and

MELCOMBE REGIS.
GENTLEMEN,
THOUGH the termination of the Poll may have defeated the hopes of some, yet to us it must ever be the source of the highest pride and gratification. In reviewing its progress, we find every cause for triumph, none for disappointment or dismay.
After many friends were engaged on account of our publicly declaring we should not become Candidates, we have polled near 340 votes, without any personal solicitations, without employing any Agent, or spending one single shilling; and we have every reason to believe we should at this moment be your Representative's, had not the Mayor, on the twelfth day, compelled us to vote by tallies, when we were fast diminishing that majority which our opponents could only have obtained by indiscriminate voting. Of the illegality of such proceedings we can entertain no doubt. Let, however, the result be what it may, we can never forget the innumerable proofs we have received of public estimation and esteem, - to the justice of our cause we can alone attribute them. Animated by this, we may hope our conduct will ever merit their continuance. To the end of our lives our hearts must feel, though our language cannot adequately convey our thanks.
We remain, GENTLEMEN,
With the greatest respect,
Your faithfully devoted servants.
R.T. STEWARD.
W. WILLIAMS.
Weymouth, Oct. 28, 1812.
