Many new streets were being formed on the North, East, and South Denes. The Marine Drive was projected. The town had been selected for the Militia Barracks, and it was said that the Victoria Esplanade was likely to be carried as far as the South Battery. On the other hand the state of the Chapel Denes had, however, long been “a disgrace to the town.” There had been an “immense fleet” of vessels in the Roads. Feb. 1st.—There had been snow-drifts 5 feet deep on the line between Yarmouth and Reedham. Feb. 8th.—Mr. Burroughs had, at the Council meeting, denounced certain gentlemen as “traitors to the town” and “tools of Mr. Peto.” Feb. 11th.—A considerable quantity of human bones had been found near the Caister Road, which were supposed to be the remains of persons who died of the plague and received burial from the Leper Houses which formerly existed there. Feb. 18th.—There had been extremely high tides, a violent storm, and a heavy gale. Several dockyards had been overflowed, and about thirty balks of timber had been lost from Mr. Steward’s yard. Feb. 22nd.—A Tradesmen’s Ball had been held in the Town Hall. Feb. 25th.—A Liberal meeting had been held at the Star Hotel, (George Danby-Palmer, Esq., in the chair) when resolutions in favour of Lord John Russell’s Reform Bill and the Ballot were adopted. There had been another high tide, the Quay being in several places inundated; the surf rolling over the old Jetty. March 1st.—Owing to the sitting of the County Court, the Council had met in the Grand Jury Room at the Tolhouse.

Cobb and Mr. L. A. Meal being his sureties in £50 each.) March 8th.—A Tender has arrived to take off the Coastguardsmen and Naval Volunteers. Rear-Admiral Plumridge had been summoned to London for the purpose of hoisting his flag in the Baltic Fleet under Sir Charles Napier. A vessel had been sent to sea manned entirely by master mariners; the rise in wages and the attractions of the Navy having so reduced the number of common seamen. March. 11th.—The Baltic Fleet was expected to pass Yarmouth. A public meeting in favour of the Reform Bill had been held at the Corn Hall (George Danby-Palmer, Esq., in the chair), when the following gentlemen took part in the proceedings:—Mr. W. N. Burroughs, Mr. McCullagh, Mr. J. W. Shelly, Mr. C. E. Bartram, Mr. J. Clowes, Mr. J. Owles, Mr. Jackson, Mr. D. A. Gourlay, and Mr. R. Hammond.
