E-mail Print PDF
 
The Rev. John H L BATEMAN, vicar of Haile, has been prosecuted by the Treasury at Whitehaven Police-court, for inserting or permitted to be inserted  in the register of marriages at Haile a certain false entry relating to a marriage.  Mr HODGSON, Carlisle, prosecuted for the Treasury;  Mr  PICKERING, Whitehaven, defended.  A fortnight ago BATEMAN was committed for  trial at the assizes on a charge of solemnising matrimony between Robert LITTLE  and Mary Jane COCKBAIN, of Egremont, without licence or certificate, without due  publication of banns, and without the consent of LITTLE's parents, he being a  minor.  A second charge was adjourned, notice being served upon defendant  to produce the marriage register.  The marriage register was not  forthcoming.  A certified record of the marriage from the Registrar-General  was put in, showing the marriage had ben solemnised after publication of  banns.  Evidence having been given by a witness who was at the marriage  that Mr BATEMAN made the entries in the marriage register, the magistrate  committed the defendant for trial, bail being accepted, defendant in £200, and  one surety in £200.

Death of a Carlisle Butcher

E-mail Print PDF

Liverpool Echo, Sept 23rd 1892
AWFUL DEATH OF A CARLISLE BUTCHER
A butcher named Henry NORMAN, who was engaged in boiling the bones of horses at a knackery at Durdar, near Carlisle, died yesterday, at the Cumberland Infirmary from the result of scalds.
He was kneeling on the edge of a huge vat of boiling bones, for the purpose of taking some out, when he slipped and fell in, burning his left side terribly.
He clambered out, and in his agony, rushed into a pond nearby, twice up to his neck. The deceased was only 24yrs of age and came to Carlisle from Glasgow 9mths ago to work at the knackery.
