Danby Palmer] Yarmouth Notes * * * * * 1830–1872. * * * * * _Collated from the File of the Norwich Mercury_. * * * * * BY FREDERICK DANBY PALMER. * * * * * GREAT YARMOUTH: PRINTED BY J. BUCKLE, KING STREET. 1889. PREFACE. The following pages are a reprint of extracts from the file of the _Norwich Mercury_, which, under the heading of “Yarmouth Notes,” have recently appeared in the columns of the _Yarmouth Mercury_; and in consequence of a very generally expressed wish on the part of the public, re-appear in the present form. At the time these notices of Yarmouth News appeared in the _Norwich Mercury_, that journal was the organ of the old Whig party, and such of them, as treat of politics, being doubtless tinged by the party feeling of the Editor, should be so taken and read. The idea of collating this matter suggested itself to the compiler upon the occasion of Geo. Wm. Darby Palmer-Kerrison, Esq., presenting the file of the _Norwich Mercury_, (then in his Library), but which had been preserved by the late Robert Palmer Kemp, Esq., to the Yarmouth Free Library, and it is hoped that this action will not only prove of some entertainment and amusement to the reader, but also will be of service to any person who may, in the future, deal with local events as affecting the history of the borough of Great Yarmouth.
