9.—Died Adam Burrell, many years carrier between Flitcham and Lynn. “The deceased was rather an eccentric character, and often designated as ‘Adam Slow,’ as he usually occupied six or seven hours going from Flitcham to Lynn, a distance of about 10 miles. He was, however, a very honest and inoffensive man.” 10.—Particulars were published on this date of the Norfolk and Norwich Joint Stock Banking Company, of which Mr. Samuel Bignold was managing director. The capital was advertised as £200,000, and the bank had branches at Lynn, Swaffham, Dereham, Foulsham, and Harling. 17.*—[Advt.] “Marshland Shales. The well-known trotting stallion, Marshland Shales, will be sold by auction on Tombland Fair-day, unless previously disposed of by private contract. This is the horse which on August 3rd, 1810, trotted 17 miles in 56 minutes, carrying 12 st. 2 lb., and was then sold by auction for 305 gs. For particulars apply, if by letter post-paid, to Mr. Moneyment, veterinary surgeon, Norwich.” 19.—A large portion of the city wall at Richmond Hill Gardens, Norwich, fell into the Bracondale Road, from the effects of a violent gale on the 17th. —Died, aged 59, Mr. Edward Dewing, of Guist. He was out hunting with his hounds when he was seized with a fit of apoplexy and dropped from his horse. During a second attack he expired. 22.—Sixty-five prisoners for trial at the Lent Assizes at Thetford were escorted from Norwich Castle to that place by men of the Norfolk Yeomanry Cavalry. 31.*—“Lately died at Wicklewood, Mrs. Mary Spraggs, aged 100.” —*“Died lately, Mrs. Catherine Mann, aged 102.” APRIL. 1.—A newly-erected malthouse, belonging to Mr. W. Hardy, at Letheringsett, was destroyed by fire. The building was 150 feet by 40 feet, and contained 90 last of malt, a considerable quantity of wool, barley, and empty casks. “The engine from Holt did not arrive until after the roof fell in, the people supposing the alarm of fire to be only an April hoax.” 2.—The annual election of Common Councilmen commenced at Norwich. “For several years ‘cleansing week’ has passed off without any serious contests, and the ‘Purple and Orange’ party has held uninterrupted ascendency in three of the great wards since 1820. All at once, however, the ‘Blue and Whites’ have roused themselves from their inaction, and again entering the field of party warfare, have succeeded in displacing their opponents. It is useless to deny that the week’s proceedings have been marked by undisguised bribery and corruption, and that the object of the triumphant party has mainly been achieved by superior weight of metal—by dint of money.” 10.—Died at his residence in London, aged 78, the Marquis of Cholmondeley, of Houghton Hall, Lord Steward of his Majesty’s Household, &c.
