The M.P’s. for the town being in favour of the measure, “had been requested to resign the trust they had abused.” This action emanated from a public meeting of ratepayers, over which. George Danby-Palmer, Esq., presided, and at which Mr. S. W. Bly, Mr. A. Ames, Mr. W. N. Burroughs, Mr. S. V. Moore, Mr. R. Hammond, and Mr. T. Parker took part. July 26th.—The Bill nevertheless passed through Committee by a majority of 92 against 12. Sir J. Walmsley had opposed and Lord Seymour supported the measure, but eventually it passed the House of Commons without a division. The paupers were much dissatisfied at not being allowed, as formerly, to attend places of Worship in the town on Sundays. Mr. C. Houchen had delivered an address on this subject, and denounced the action of the Guardians. Aug. 9th.—It was computed that many hundreds of children in the North District were entirely without the opportunity for instruction, and it was proposed to fit up the Priory as a National School to meet this want. Evidence had been taken by the Committee of the House of Lords upon the Public Health Bill being applied to the town, and they reported the Bill to the House without amendment; thus there was a “speedy prospect of the town being well drained and made clean and healthy in spite of its one-idead rulers.” Captain Smyth, R.N., had been raised to the rank of Post-Captain. Six hundred and thirty electors had signed a requisition calling on Messrs. Rumbold and Saunders to resign their seats as M.P’s. for the Borough. This would form a majority of the voters. The East Norfolk and Suffolk Horticultural Show had been held under the patronage of the Mayoress, Lady Lacon, and Mr. S. C. J. Palmer. Aug. 16th.—The 279th, and last, meeting of the Paving Commissioners had been held, when there were present—Messrs. George Danby-Palmer (in the chair), B. Dowson, W. N. Burroughs, J. Fish, C. E. Bartram, F. Palmer, J. H. Harrison, S. V. Moore, P. White, J. Cobb, W. Crow, I. Lettis, jun., and W. H. Bessey. Mr. Beeching’s newly-built lifeboat had been submitted to several tests opposite the Crane. Aug. 23rd.—Mr. Beeching’s model had obtained the prize in the Lifeboat Competition at Somerset House. There were 280 models and plans sent in, the first six boats being—James Beeching, Great Yarmouth; Henry Hinks, Appledore; J. and E. Pellew, Newbury; William Teasdel, Great Yarmouth; Harvey and Son, Ipswich, and George Farrow, South Shields. Aug. 30th.—The Licensed Victuallers had held a large and important meeting for the purpose of protecting their interests, S. C. Marsh, Esq., in the chair. Mr. G. Blyth (Reporter to the _Norfolk News_) had been induced to visit at night a tower in the South-End of the town, belonging to George Danby-Palmer, Esq., when he had been assaulted by some person there, and of this he had complained to the Bench. Sept. 13th.—The Justices had refused to grant any fresh licenses at the Brewster Sessions.
