Counterfeit Notes Ring Defeated as Eight Jailed
Eight individuals were committed to Carlisle Gaol for uttering counterfeit £5 notes purporting to be Berwick Bank issues. The gang operated from Mumpshall near Gilland, selling notes at about 40s each. One suspect, Johnston, reportedly turned king's evidence, with police believing the depredations are nearly stopped. Also reported is the Ipswich escape of Margaret Catchpole from Ipswich gaol, evading guards and fleeing 70 miles to London in ten hours, prior transport sentence. A Sunderland widow delivered a child on Low Quay and devised a method to conceal the birth, leaving the infant in a garret closet.
