“Yesterday there was a grand public dinner at the Angel Inn, to celebrate what the Tories call ‘the defeat of the Attorney-General and the Yarmouth Radicals;’ but what we should say was a fortunate escape of the accused parties, arising from the glorious uncertainty of the law. John Lacon, Esq., was in the chair. Richard Ferrier, Esq., presided at the left hand table. The two vice-presidents were Mr. Aldred and Mr. John Clarke. A very handsome silver teapot and ewer were presented to Mr. William Green, by John Penrice, Esq., in an appropriate speech, for his exertions at the last election. We were not present, but had these particulars from a Tory friend, who also said ‘he thought ’twas hard poor Prentice hadn’t something, as he did as much as Green, and more too.’ There were about 70 persons present.” Twenty gentlemen, all of Reform principles, had been elected select Vestrymen. Five hundred merchants and others had attended a public meeting to protest against the proposal of the Eastern Counties’ Railway Company to construct a line to Harwich. April 28th.—The seamen had “struck” for an increase of wages. Several persons had been fined for keeping disorderly houses. Seven vessels had been cleared with emigrants for America, carrying 850 adults and 600 children, and several other vessels were fitting out for the same voyage. May 5th.—The town was suffering from a number of dogs prowling about, one of which had severely bitten a young lady. May 19th.—Mr. William Ferrier had been elected Coroner by the Council, which body had voted, by a majority of one, to retain the Market Cross. June 9th—Mr. Jefferies Barth had been elected Clerk of the Peace. June 17th.—Nathaniel Palmer, Esq., had been appointed Recorder. June 23rd.—A fine new schooner (The Clipper) had been launched for William Hurry Palmer, Esq., and was expected to be the fastest sailing vessel out of the port. June 30th.—The Cross was ordered to be pulled down. July 14th.—It was stated that “Yarmouth is very full of strangers, who flock here from all parts of the country to enjoy the cool sea breezes. We believe there is not any other place that affords so excellent a view of shipping in motion as Yarmouth Roads, it being the great thoroughfare for all vessels trading to the North. The Bath Room is one of the principal attractions to visitors, as it is a most agreeable lounge during the heat of the day, and frequent undress balls enliven the youthful part of the company. The Bath Room has been well attended this year, and we are happy to say the list of subscribers gives promise of a good season.” The destruction of the Cross is thus noticed:—
