3.--Died at Costessey Hall, the Rev. Lawrence Strongitharm, aged 31,
formerly of the Roman Catholic church, St. John Maddermarket, Norwich.
"To great learning and a highly gifted mind, to the most elegant and
refined manners, and to the most powerful and commanding eloquence he
added a most fervent and unaffected piety and undying zeal for the
furtherance of religion." His remains were interred on the 9th, before
the altar in the chapel of St. John Maddermarket.
8.--"Two celebrated amateurs of fashion," the Hon. W. Berkeley and the
other "a military man," appeared in the parts of Othello and Roderigo at
Norwich Theatre. They afterwards appeared as Romeo and Mercutio, and in
other characters.
9.--Died Adam Burrell, many years carrier between Flitcham and Lynn.
"The deceased was rather an eccentric character, and often designated as
'Adam Slow,' as he usually occupied six or seven hours going from
Flitcham to Lynn, a distance of about 10 miles. He was, however, a very
honest and inoffensive man."
10.--Particulars were published on this date of the Norfolk and Norwich
Joint Stock Banking Company, of which Mr. Samuel Bignold was managing
