24.—At Norwich Quarter Sessions, before the Recorder, Mr. Prendergast,
the appeal case, Colman _v._ Clarke, was heard. Mr. Evans and Mr. Palmer
were for the appellants, and Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Bulwer for the
respondent. It was proved that in the early part of May, 1852, Messrs.
Colman established at Carrow a business for the manufacture of cake from
refuse rice, and it was alleged that after the process had been carried
on for a short time offensive smells were observed in the neighbourhood.
The firm were summoned before the magistrates for permitting a nuisance,
and were fined. They now appealed against the conviction, on the ground
of informalities in the original proceedings, and of want of jurisdiction
on the part of the magistrates. The conviction was quashed.
28.—Hengler’s Circus and Roman Amphitheatre, Castle Meadow, Norwich, was
opened with the production of a grand equestrian spectacle, entitled,
“Kenilworth Castle.”

Army in 1796, as Cornet in the 6th Dragoons, and received the rank of
General in 1851. He served at the Helder in 1799, and in 1808 took part
in the campaign of Sir John Moore, and was present at the battle of
Corunna. As Colonel Kerrison, he commanded the 7th Hussars from 1813 to
1815, through various campaigns. At the battle of Orthes he received a
severe wound, and he was again wounded in the battle of Waterloo, where
his horse was shot under him. Sir Edward Kerrison received his baronetcy
in 1821, when he was nominated a G.C.H., and in 1840 a K.C.B. In 1830 he
was appointed to the colonelcy of the 14th Light Dragoons. For forty

35 years of age, and had been rector of Chedgrave about ten years. He
left a widow and five young children.
