Stamford - 9th July 1812
C. H. WALES cautions the public (particularly publicans) not to trust 
SIMEON TAYLOR, who was some time since employed by him as a traveller 
with Periodical Publications, on his (C. H. WALES's) account. - SIMEON 
TAYLOR is also in the habit of going amongst C. H. WALE's customers (as 
being sent by him) in order to obtain such works as have been completed, 
under a pretence to bind, and to collect arrears.  C. H. WALES hopes the 
above caution will be considered sufficient to exonerate him from any 
blame that may arise on account of such works (so delivered) not being 
returned.  SIMEON TAYLOR is very near sighted, about 5feet 6in high, 
lightish complexion, about 50 years of age, and was formerly a brazier 
and tinman in this place.

Stamford - 10th July 1812

Yesterday was the first day of meeting of a cricket club, associated 
for playing on the race ground near this town every Thursday until 
September.  Colonel NOEL and Stafford O'BRIEN, Esq. are members, and 
were on the ground yesterday: the meeting was small, but is expected 
to be good in the future.

We are requested to state, that the verdict of the Coroner's jury at
Osbournby last week, in the case of the pauper, PAGE, who had been 
found in a very loathsome state in the field, was that he died by the 
visitation of God and not that he was "eaten to death by maggots."  
The deceased was a person of great years, dreadfully afflicted with a 
scorbutic complaint; and to that affliction his death is primarily 
attributable.

Some time since, Samuel KNIGHT, apprentice to Wm JOHNSON, chimney 
sweeper, at Leicester, was supposed to have been drowned, the body of 
a boy resembling him having been found in the basin of the Leicester 
Navigation.  Five witnesses swore they had no doubt if was that of 
Samuel KNIGHT, and his mother swore positively it was that of her son, 
and even pointed out some marks by which she identified him.  KNIGHT 
was, however, about a week ago, found alive, and brought before the 
magistrates by JOHNSON, for running away from his service.

A very serious affair took place, last week, in Holbeach Marsh.  Mr.
WILDERS, of that place, has had, by indulgence for some years, a right
of way with his waggons through the grounds of Mr. COOPER, to a certain
creek; but the two being now at variance, this privilege was denied Mr.
WILDERS, and he (forgetting the former obligation) contended for it by
force, mustering a number of his laborers, which were opposed to Mr. 
COOPER and his domestics in order to break open a gate. Here a desperate 
affray ensued, in which Mr. COOPER's servant struck a poor Irishman, (a 
laborer of WILDERS) a blow on his head with a spade, which caused the 
unfortunate man's death. - This melancholy business remains for legal 
investigation.
