Fire destroys Mr Lay’s oat ricks at Chilton near Abingdon

A large oat rick in the farm yard of Mr Lay at Chilton near Abingdon caught fire on Monday night, rapidly spreading to two other ricks. Firefighters and Rev B Morland tried to halt the blaze, but substantial corn loss occurred estimated at 150 to 200 quarters. The fire is suspected incendiary, with rewards offered totaling £80 for the culprit. The rest of the district faced related reports of sudden deaths, inquests, and local disturbances as noted in the same bulletin.

Tragic Angmering suicide tied to parish relief failures

A coroner's inquest at Angmering heard that Thomas Pentlow, 82, hanged himself after weeks of inadequate parish wages to support his wife Eliz and their children. Neighbors and a guardian testified the family faced dire hunger from low pay and delayed cash from Mr Wyatt, with bread and coal scarce and the man driven to desperation. The jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity, linked to inability to obtain due wages and food.

Original portrait by Vecelli found in unknown state

A dirty old oil portrait turned up near Seven Dials is identified as an original self portrait by Titian Vecelli. It fetched a £250 offer from a noble judge of art, while a separate commission in Gray's Inn examined Dr Pirke Lee's mental state and life. A Pentonville case reports a girl aged 14 to 15 starved by her mistress Mrs Davis, provoking a mob and police intervention.

Novel gas lighting in the House of Commons delights observers

The House of Commons adopts six rows of gas jets totaling about 3 680, placed behind a glazed ceiling to create daylight like brightness. The change, though heat intense, cools the room by confining heat to the upper area, improving comfort and health, with costs reportedly high per hour.
