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.
Last Monday evening many parts of this city were illuminated on
account of the capture of the two line of battle ships, and a frigate, taken
by Sir James WALLACE in the West Indies.
On Monday the Rev. Michael BROWN, Clerk, was licensed to the
perpetual Curacy of St Gregory, in the city of Norwich, on the nomination
of the Dean and Chapter of Norwich, and also instituted to the Vicarage of
Eaton, in the county of the city of Norwich, on the presentation of the
said Dean and Chapter.
On Thursday last Mary ROBERTS, of Hempnall, in this county, was
convicted before Roger KERRISON, Esq., for embezzling 13 pounds
[weight] of wool, the property of Anthony RUPTURE, of this city,
woolcomber, and committed to the Wymondham bridewell for 14 days.
The King has been pleased to grant to John HORNE, of the Inner Temple,
Esq; (pursuant to the desire of William TOOKE, of Thomson, in this
county, Esq;) his royal licence and authority to take upon him the forename
of TOOKE.
Captain CUBIT, of the West Norfolk regiment, is appointed Adjutant of
the works now carrying on at Yarmouth.
By a letter from Lowestoft, dated May 22, we learn that on the Monday
preceding, about seventeen leagues N. E. of Cromer, Lord HOWE was
seen, with the fleet under his command, steering to the South. Wind at E.
Should Lord HOWE be fortunate enough to give as good an account of
the Dutch fleet as RODNEY has of the French, their High Mightinesses
will be reduced to the necessity of sueing [sic] for peace. The people of
Holland are ripe for an insurrection: - their dependencies in the East and
West Indies are gone - their trade ruined - their navy blocked up - their
country threatened with invasion. What have they to save them from
annihilation -- but a Peace ?
Monday was committed to the Castle by Thomas BEEVOR, Esq., Robert
ROSE, of Garvestone, timber carrier, charged with stealing several pieces
of timber, part of the property of Sir John WODEHOUSE, Bart., and
part of the property of Mr BURTON, timber merchant, of Maidstone,
in the county of Kent.
Last week two severe matches, one at single-stick, the other at
bruising, between Peter NEAL and the noted Robert NORTON, were
decided at Blofield Globe, in this county, after two very sharp contests,
in favour of the former. -- At the same time and place a battle was
fought between Mr Robert MALLET, farmer, and the noted
James SAUNDERSON, a Scotchman, when, after a contest of fifty
minutes, victory was declared in favour of the former, the latter
being blinded thro' the severity of the blows which he had received.
At Bale, within five miles of Holt, in this county, is a remarkable
large oak, the property of William GAY, Esq; its dimension next the earth
is fifteen yards, the smallest part nine yards and a half, and is
fifty feet high; twelve men have been known to dine in it at one time,
and formerly the top spread over an acre of ground.
A few days since was married at Martham, Mr John GOSS, a considerable
farmer, to Miss Sarah KIDMAN of the same place, an agreeable young
lady with a handsome fortune.
Wednesday se'nnight was married at Yarmouth, Mr Nathaniel
SYMMONDS, jun. one of the Common-councilmen of that borough, to
Miss WARNER, an agreeable young lady with all those accomplishments
that cannot fail making the nuptial state happy.
Wednesday last was married, Gibson LUCAS, Esq., of Filby, near
Yarmouth, to Mrs PEARCE, widow of the late Mr PEARCE, of this city,
dyer.
