15 March 1814 Parochial Imposition

E-mail Print PDF
 On the authority of the Parish Officers of Brailes, the following
extraordinary instance of shameless imposition, on the part of a pretended pauper in that parish, named HARWOOD, has been made public.

       This man had long claimed and received parochial relief for himself
and his wife, and to strengthen his claims, he had lately represented himself as incapable of labour, from illness. But on examination by the medical
gentlemen, these representations were proved to be false; and an abatement was instantly made in his former weekly allowance.

       Complaints  of want and distress instantly followed, so loud and so
frequent, that at length the Parish Officers determined to enquire personally to the truth of the case. On entering his dwelling the observed a good fat bacon hog just slaughtered, and a great part of a side of old bacon. They found also of bed linen near twenty sheets, and other articles of furniture, denoting not merely comfort but affluence. And to crown all, they discovered in an old coffer, a small box, which the man seemed particularly anxious to conceal, all of which, when forcibly taken and examined, the contents were found to be 42 guineas, 42 half guineas; 43 seven shilling pieces in gold; 321. 10s in silver; 611. in Bank Notes!

15 March 1814 Court of King's Bench

E-mail Print PDF
 
COURT OF KING'S BENCH.


       Thursday se'ennight in the Court of King's Bench, came on the trial of
the KING v. MITFORD. It was an indictment for perjury, in an affidavit, in
which that MITFORD swore that Lady PERCEVAL forged certain letters which
appeared in the News Sunday paper of the 4th of April last, purporting to be signed by Lord CASTLEREAGH, Liverpool, and Eldon, respecting a new establishment for
the Princess of Wales.

       Lord ELLENBOROUGH, in charging the Jury, commented very severely on
the conduct of Lady PERCEVAL, who, he said, had made this unfortunate defendant the agent of her libels. His Lordship was proceeding to detail the evidence, when the Foreman of the Jury interrupted him, and said, that being fully convinced of the innocence of the defendant (MITFORD), it was unnecessary that he should give himself so much trouble.

       A verdict of Not Guilty was then recorded, which gave great
satisfaction throughout the crowded court.

       The trial lasted seven hours; and a scene of greater depravity in high
life was never witnessed, than that disclosed by the evidence.

       Lady PERCEVAL married Earl EGMONT's son. The late Premier, and Lords
ARDEN and REDESDALE, are her uncles by marriage; her maiden name was WYNNE.

E-mail Print PDF
On Friday evening the members of the Wath Brow Reading Rooms were
entertained to supper on the kind invitation of Mr. J. IRVING, of Wath Farm, who has for many years been an ardent supporter of the institution. A good number put in an appearance, and ample justice was done to the excellent spread which had been provided.

       After the cloth had been removed the toast of the evening, 'Host and
Hostess" was ably given by Mr. J. MOORE, president of the rooms, and it was
supported by Mr. J. FORESTER in a neat and humorous speech to which Mr. IRVING responded.

       Games, vocal and instrumental music were afterwards indulged in with
much vigour till the small hours of the morning, when the company dispersed
after again refreshing the inner man, all having spent a most enjoyable time.

       The following ladies presided over the tables in an excellent manner:-

Mrs. IRVING

Miss. DAWSON

Misses IRVING (2)

Miss. SAUNDER

and Messrs:

J. IRVING, sen.

L. IRVING, jun., in the capacity of carvers.
