Note: the Norfolk Chronicle was published in Norwich. When no place is
referred to exactly, or the term "this city" is used, Norwich is the
place referred to. Similarly, mentions of "the Castle", the City Gaol"
etc refer to institutions in Norwich.
Orders are given for the Dutchmen belonging to the hospital ship which
lately came on shore at Blakeney, to be sent to Holland. The Captain,
Mate, and Surgeon,went from Norwich on Wednesday to Yarmouth.
On Thursday last the Coroner's inquest sat on the body of Sarah TITTER,
who was that morning about seven o'clock found dead in the public
street near St Stephen's Gates. -- It appeared in the course of the
evidence, that the deceased was discovered by St Peter's watch in the
Haymarket, about a quarter before twelve o'clock on the Wednesday
evening, very much intoxicated; that she requested the watch to lead
her home to her house near St Stephen's Gates; that one of them took
her in charge, and delivered her to the care of the St Stephen's watch,
who at that time were drinking at the Nag's Head; that the St Stephen's
watch, though, requested to take proper care of her, very inhumanly left
her at Mr SLATER's corner; that she received several falls and bruises,
and laid and expired in the street.
On Tuesday last was married at Holt, Mr Charles SALES, grocer and
draper, to Miss LEGGE, daughter of the late Mr Stephen LEGGE, Surgeon,
of that place.
Last week died, at Fransham, Mr CASE [name might be CAFE], of
that place.
On Tuesday last died, in the 49th year of her, Mrs Elizabeth
BRANTHWAY, whose extensive benevolence, blended with all the other
virtues, will render her memory to be most sincerely lamented by all
those who had the happiness to possess her friendship and acquaintance.
Among other charitable donations, she has left 50 pounds to the Norfolk
and Norwich Hospital; 50 pounds to the Clergymen's widows, and the same
to the charity schools.

Manner, and will open School on Monday the 14th Instant, and as they
were both educated and brought up by Mrs WRIGHT, she recommends
them to her Friends and the Public as fit Persons to be intrusted [sic] with
