30.—Died at Cowes, the Right Hon. the Earl of Craven, Lord Lieutenant of the county of Berks., Recorder of Coventry, and a lieutenant-general in the Army. His lordship, who was in his 55th year, married on December 12th, 1807, Miss Brunton, of Covent Garden Theatre, and formerly of the Norwich Company, and left issue Viscount Uffington, another son, and a daughter. AUGUST. 1.—Lord Chief Justice Abbott and Lord Chief Baron Alexander, Judges of Assize, were received at Harford Bridge, Norwich, by the High Sheriff of Norfolk (Col. Harvey). “Being a member of the Corporation, the Mayor and his brethren determined to accompany him with the city Sheriffs, and a procession was formed in the following order:—Two blue coats on horseback; justices and aldermen of Norwich in their carriages; city Sheriffs’ officers on horseback; the Under Sheriff’s ditto; the Sheriffs in a carriage and four; two blue coats, with the castles, on horseback; two mace bearers, ditto; the Under-Chamberlain with small mace, ditto; the Mayor in his carriage with the Town Clerk and sword bearer; the High Sheriff’s trumpeters on horseback; his marshalmen, ditto; 24 javelin men, ditto, in dark blue liveries with orange cockades; the Under-Sheriff of Norfolk; the High Sheriff in his elegant carriage drawn by six fine brown horses, the coachman, postillions, and footmen in livery, with his chaplain, the Rev. Edward Bellman; servants on horseback; Sir Robert John Harvey and Mr. George Harvey, the High Sheriff’s sons, in a chariot. It is said that a similar procession has not taken place here for the last 100 years.” 2.—At the Norfolk Assizes, held at Norwich before Lord Chief Justice Abbott, the action Fellowes _v._ Steward, clerk, was tried, with the object of deciding whether the plaintiff had set out his tithe in a manner warranted by law. The plaintiff’s men cut the tithe wheat on seven acres of land, each man taking a strip or rig of land, and after cutting each strip returned and put his sheaves into shocks of ten each. The plaintiff’s bailiff set out the tithe by taking every tenth sheaf from the shock and placing it a yard or two from the rest. He then put a bough on every sheaf so laid apart, and replaced it in the shock whence he had taken it. The next day the sheaves, except those marked as tithe, were carted. Mr. Alderman Steward, of Norwich, who was acting as agent for his son, the rector of Saxlingham, stated that the corn should be tithed in sheaves before it was shocked. Mr. Fellowes endeavoured to prove that the corn had been set out according to the custom of the place. The Judge censured the plaintiff for adopting the method of separating the tithe corn from the other corn and mixing it with the shock again, as it opened the door to the practice of all kinds of fraud. The plaintiff was non-suited.
