Sincular Trick at No 68 Kirkgate ends with loss
A man dressed as a waterman bought eleven yards of striped calico at shop No 68 Kirkgate, paid with a sovereign, then sent a boy to No 52 Off Street where he demanded 12s 8d change and fled with the money. The lodger is believed to have left town, leaving the boy astonished. In a separate note, a drove of oxen caused a pedestrian near St John's Lane to be trampled, risking his life and prompting calls to curb dangerous street cattle drives. A Bangor Castle hotel apple tree now blooms again with fruit, while a nearby pear tree has produced a second blossom season.
