Bath Theft Case From Porlock Involves Box and Bills
Bath, September 6. Early Wednesday morning a 20 year old Bristol native and blacksmith, William Stocker, with Joseph Rees now in Bristol, was caught stealing a box sent by mail containing bills worth about 11001 pounds from the Rummer Tavern area. Stocker claimed he was at Martock when the box vanished and returned to Bristol to see friends who helped him, with Rees providing some bills. He confessed knowledge of where most bills were hidden under a stone near Bristol and was taken back for commitment.

Character of Cromwell in Oliver Cromwell piece
The Geneva Evening Post prints a fragmentary portrait of Oliver Cromwell through Sir Hitler Warwick. It narrates Cromwell’s early Parliament appearance in 1640, his plain dress, rigid demeanor, and evolving power as he rose to prominence. The excerpt contrasts initial unfavourable view with later observed majesty and control during Whitaker era confinement.
