When 25 years of age he was indicted for the murder of his uncle near Thetford. “For many years he was considered so violent and dangerous that he was confined in a strong room, and under the old _régime_ then in use in the establishment, he had a strong belt and gloves, and was put into irons.” 22.—Mr. George Dawson lectured at the Free Library, Norwich, on “Pepys’ Diary.” —Norwich Theatre was opened for a brief season by Mr. Charles Dillon and Miss Gomersal. 24.—Mr. Henry Villebois, master of the Norfolk Fox Hounds, was presented with his portrait, subscribed for by 400 gentlemen, “in appreciation of his untiring and successful efforts to promote field sports in the county of Norfolk.” Lord Sondes presided at the dinner held at the Town Hall, Lynn, and presented the portrait, which was painted by F.
