Mr. Clowes then proposed, and Mr. Livingston seconded, a resolution to the effect that a Vestry Clerk be appointed at a salary of £100 per annum, and ultimately this was carried, and a vote of thanks to the Vicar and his assessor (C. J. Palmer, Esq.), terminated the proceedings. Feb. 23rd.—The Conservatives had adopted Mr. C. H. Chamberlin (a Liberal) as their candidate for the office of Vestry Clerk, the other candidate being Mr. S. B. Cory. Feb. 27th.—The case of Morant v. Chamberlin (which involved the right of user of part of the Quay by George Danby-Palmer, Esq.), had been decided as follows: “Verdict for plaintiff, issue on the 4th plea for defendant.” March 2nd.—The Prince of Wales had visited the town “incog.” March 6th.—One Cox, “a magician of Friars’ Lane,” had been before the Justices. March 9th.—The Hon. Harbord Harbord had been hunting the district with his pack of harriers during the week. Part of a house had been blown down on the Regent Road. March 13th.—The Artillery Corps had adopted white (in lieu of blue) facings to their uniform. March 16th.—The Fitzroy storm signals had been hoisted in the town. March 23rd.—“Iconoclast” proposed to deliver lectures at the Theatre. This had been stopped by the Mayor, and an action was threatened against the proprietor of that building. The following is a copy of the Bill issued:—“Theatre Royal, Great Yarmouth. Iconoclast the well-known advocate of Secularism, and co-editor with Mr. Joseph Barker, &c., will deliver three lectures in the above place, on the 25th, 26th, and 27th of March, 1861. Subjects—Monday, “Were Adam and Eve our first parents?” Tuesday, “The History of the Crucifixion, self-contradictory and incredible.” Wednesday, “The Atonement and its relation to sin and pardon.” Admission—Lower boxes, 6d.; upper ditto, 4d.; pit, 3d., gallery, 2d. Iconoclast respectfully invites the clergy and ministers of Yarmouth to discuss his lectures; especially those who claim to have refuted him during his absence.” Major Orde, Mr. Chamberlin, and Captain Holmes had given readings from Dickens’ works in the saloon of the Victoria gardens before the members of the Rifle Corps and their friends; Captain Holmes was expected to be appointed adjutant of this corps. March 30th.—“Cufaude _v_ Cory” had been heard at the Assizes. In this action damages were claimed by the plaintiff, Clerk to the Guardians against the defendant, Mr. S. B. Cory, for an alleged libel, he having stated in a handbill that Mr. Cufaude “cooked” the parish accounts. Mr. O’Malley, Q.C., Mr. Power, Q.C., Mr. Keene and Mr. Cherry were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Palmer and Mr. Hotson for the defendant. The Jury found for the plaintiff with £500 damages. April 3rd.—“The nocturnal jokes” were again the subject of inquiry; Mr. E. O. Johnson (a Volunteer Sergeant) had been discovered by a policeman taking away Dr. Smyth’s bell, but as that gentleman would not prosecute, the charge dropped.
