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.
Notice is hereby given that proper Persons are appointed for preserving
the Game upon the Manors of Saxthorpe, near Aylsham, Norfolk. If
therefore any Poacher, or other unqualified Person, or Persons, shall
be found guilty of either taking, killing, or destroying Game, or otherwise
trespassing upon the said Manors, he or they will be proceeded against as
the Law directs.
Booton, Aug. 23, 1782. [signed] Peter ELWIN, Isaac PASKE,
Coulson BELL, Esqrs.
N.B. As the Breed of Game in general, particularly that of Hares, is thin
upon the said Manors, it is earnestly wished that Gentlemen will be so
obliging as not to course nor shoot upon the same.
On Tuesday came on the election of one of the Sheriffs of this city
for the year ensuing, by the freemen, when Jeremiah IVES, jun. Esq.,
of Tombland, one of the Aldermen of East Wymer Ward, a gentleman
much respected by his fellow-citizens, was elected by a considerable
majority.
Last week the West Norfolk regiment was reviewed by Major
General TRYON at Castor [sic], after which Colonel Earl of ORFORD
entertained a company of Ladies and Gentlemen, consisting of upwards
of four score, at the mess-room, in an elegant and hospitable manner.
Ensign John GIRLING, of the West Norfolk regiment, is promoted to
a Lieutenancy.
As Weyborne-hope is the most vulnerable part of the Norfolk coast,
would it not be right to have a small encampment (perhaps of two
companies) between that and Cromer, as well as to watch the motions
of any force that might appear, as to prevent the depredations of
privateers and smugglers ?
Would not a subscription for building barracks for a thousand men
at Acle be a proper measure at this time? Norwich and Yarmouth are
particularly interested in such a provision for the troops necessary to
be kept on the coast (from which Acle is but nine miles); and, either
in time of peace or war, soldiers like good barracks much better than
quarters, -- Besides, the men would be kept together doing duty, and
improving in military science, and the innkeepers be relieved from a
very oppressive burthen, which has already reduced many of them to
the greatest necessity.
Yesterday se'nnight were committed to the Castle, by Dixon HOST,
Esq., Thomas TAYLOR, of Darshingham, blacksmith, and
John NARBOROUGH, of Ingoldesthorpe, charged with committing
a crime not fit to be mentioned among Christians. -- TAYLOR on his
examination confessed the fact.
Last Wednesday William SOUTHGATE was convicted before
Starling DAY, Esq., Mayor of this city, for having the preceeding [sic]
night, plucked up, cut, and carried away, upwards of two pecks of
potatoes, and five cabbages, from out of the garden at Heigham,
belonging to Mr Benjamin WEBBER. And not paying the forfeiture
as directed by the 6th of his present Majesty, he was committed to
the house of correction, there to be kept to hard labour for one month,
and to be once whipped before he shall be from thence discharged.
Wednesday last, as the servant of a grocer at Acle was coming to this
city on horseback, with a pair of bags under him, containing about forty
shillings in halfpence, and other things, he was met on the way by
Stephen ALLEN and Edward ALDRIDGE, both of Norwich, one about
15, the other 17 years age, and whilst one kept him in discourse, the
other cut the bag on the opposite, and took thereout twenty shillings
worth of halfpence; but the servant soon missing them, rode back to
his master, got assistance, pursued, and soon overtook them with the
money upon them. They were secured and brought before
Roger KERRISON, Esq., who committed them for further examination.
It appeared that they had fled from this city on account of stealing
several pairs of shoes.
On Saturday last, about four o'clock in the afternoon, a pea-stack
belonging to Mr GRIMWOOD, at Feltwell, in this county, took fire,
occasioned by its being badly got up, which in a few minutes
consumed the same, together with two large barns, about twenty loads
of hay, five lasts of rye, a dove-house, and other buildings. The wind
being high, the flames communicated to the parsonage-house, in the
occupation of Mr Thomas KING, tho' at the distance of above thirty
yards, which was also consumed, with the barn, stables, dove-house,
and other buildings, most of the furniture, and two fat hogs, but by the
assistance of an engine from Brandon, was prevented from doing any
further damage. -- The whole loss is estimated at nearly two thousand
pounds.
On the 28th of last March died at Demerary, in the West Indies, of
a bilious fever, Mr John RICHES, second son of Mr William RICHES,
of this city.
Harwich, Aug. 29. The five sail of the line, one frigate, a cutter,
and four other vessels, seen on the 22d inst. by a Yarmouth pilot,
10 or 12 leagues off Lowestoft, then standing with their heads to the
northward, and reported to be a Dutch squadron, we are well informed
is no other that the Russian fleet some time since expected in these
seas.
Norwich, Aug. 30, 1782.

year ensuing, when Jeremiah IVES, Esq., jun., was declared duly
elected.

Jeremiah IVES, Esq., jun., --- 567
