3.—Died at the house of his son-in-law (Mr. H. Dowson, of Geldeston),
aged 65, the Rev. Pendlebury Houghton. “He received his education at
Warrington at the time Dr. Atkin was the classical teacher there, and
after the completion of his studies continued there one year as assistant
classical tutor. He first settled as minister at Dob Lane, near
Manchester, whence he removed to Shrewsbury, and in 1787 was chosen a
pastor, with Dr. Enfield, of the Unitarian congregation in Norwich. On
the death of Dr. Enfield in 1797 he became sole minister. In 1808 he
succeeded Mr. Jervis at Prince’s Street, Westminster, and in 1811
returned to Norwich. In 1812 his was invited to become joint pastor with
Mr. Yates, of the congregation in Paradise Street, Liverpool, where he
continued till 1823, when he retired from his ministerial labours.”
7.—At a meeting held at Norwich, it was agreed “that the Rosary
burial-ground having been duly entered at the office of the Bishop of the
Diocese, and therein designated a general burial-ground for the use of
persons of all sects and denominations, shall be invested in trustees on
behalf of those who may become the holders of shares, to be limited to
500.”
8.—A performance was given at Norwich Theatre by the Stagorians. “The
stage exhibited the appearance of the interior of a Stagorian lodge, and
presented a spectacle at once novel and striking. In accordance with the
principles of the assembled brethren the ceremony opened with ‘God save
the King,’ and closed with the last verse of that same loyal strain. The
whole was conducted and well supported by Mr. Hudson, treasurer of the
lodge No. 2, Independent, who sang a song in so good a style that the
audience testified their approbation by loud and repeated cheerings.”
9.—Died, suddenly, in the Fleet Prison, the Rev. John Cross Morphew,
rector of Cley and of Walpole St. Peter.
10.*—(Advt.) “Mr. Edward Painter informs his friends and the public that
his horse, the celebrated Tam o’ Shanter, will be shown upon Norwich Hill
this day, and every Saturday during the season, at 12 o’clock. His
trotting and other paces the proprietor leaves for the public at large to
be their own judges, as puffing is quite out of the question. N.B.—Tam
o’ Shanter will be found at the White Hart, St. Peter’s, Norwich.”
—*“Miss Bathurst, daughter of the late Mr. Benjamin Bathurst, and
granddaughter of the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, was riding in Rome on
horseback, accompanied by Lord and Lady Aylmer and the Duc de
Montmorency, when her horse slipped down the steep bank into the Tiber,
and with its rider was washed away, and never seen again.” The body of
Miss Bathurst was recovered on September 26th.
