Remains of Rev J T J Hewlett Laid To Rest At Stambridge
The Reverend J T J Hewlett was buried at Little Stambridge after a large funeral procession. Freemasons funded his funeral and orphaned children, left with no funds, were taken in by local brethren. A Rochford meeting urged a relief fund to support the family and future clerical care for one child. The talk highlighted Hewlett’s modest means and toll of his literary work on his health.

Ireland Letters Show Irish Relief Struggles and Calls
The meeting of the Ireland Tax Repeat Association drew a small crowd as Danisz O'Connors urged substantial relief for starving Ireland. A letter from Daniel O'Connell warned Parliament’s aid is shrinking, while Cork clerics push for outdoor relief and a broader Poor Law. Reports describe hunger deaths across Cork, Kerry, and Bantry, and calls by peers and MPs to resist outdoor relief for able bodied laborers.
