On Sunday last the Melton Volunteers had their first meeting at
Melton Hall; about half past eleven o'clock the drum beat to arms; Sir
Edward ASTLEY, Bart. with other officers of the corps, having drawn
out the men in the park, before the house, above 150 appeared, several
of whom, notwithstanding the shortness of the time, were dressed in
their uniform, green and orange in colour. Upwards of 50 respectable
farmers in the neighbourhood, who agreed to cloath [sic] themselves,
and provide the necessary accoutrements, marched to church, Captain
Sir Edward ASTLEY at their head; the other men, in two divisions,
followed, headed by the different officers of the corps. A most excellent
sermon was preached on the occasion by the Rev. BROWNE, Chaplain
to the corps. After divine service the men marched back in the same
order to Melton Hall, where having heard read to them Sir
Edward ASTLEY's commission, and the terms of the association, which
is formed to protect the coast of the county of Norfolk against all
foreign invasions, and to support the Civil Magistrates, when called upon,
in the execution of the laws, and for the preservation of the peace, they
all unanimously subscribed the same, and entered into the necessary
regulations of the company. The Volunteers were then handsomely
entertained by their Captain. After dinner several loyal and
constitutional toasts were drank. [List of toasts given which have been
omitted here]. -- The utmost regularity and decency prevailed throughout
the day, and the whole concluded to the complete satisfaction of every
one present.

Edward ASTLEY, Captain; Henry JODRELL, Esq., First Lieutenant;
Jarrett DASHWOOD, Esq., Second Lieutenant; Peter ELWIN, jun. Esq.,
