2.--The new Roman Catholic church of All Saints, Norwich, was opened by
the Right Rev. Dr. Weld, Bishop of Amycloe. "The ringing of the bells of
St. Giles' church on the occasion has been made the subject of a great
deal more exultation on the one hand, and more lamentation and
indignation on the other, than it really merits. The truth is that the
bells were set out by the ringers upon speculation, and they were
afterwards handsomely rewarded by the Catholics for their liberalism, the
venality of which is disgusting enough."
4.--The body of a woman, named Ann Coe, buried two days previously, in
Fincham churchyard, was disinterred and stolen. "The churchyard is _very
near the turnpike road_. The coffin, containing the shroud, was found in
the churchyard, superficially covered with mold."
8.--The Corporation of Yarmouth voted 1,000 pounds towards the building
of a church in that borough.
11.--An auxiliary of the "British Society for Promoting the Principles of
the Reformation" was formed in Norwich. Under its auspices a great
meeting was held at St. Andrew's Hall, on October 21st, at which some
disturbance took place.
21.--The Rev. Edward Valpy, D.D., resigned the appointment of headmaster
of the Norwich Free Grammar School, which he had held since 1811.
23.--Mary McMullen, aged 61, walked 76 miles in 24 hours, on a measured
half-mile of the Gaywood Road near Lynn. She performed the like feat at
the Ranelagh Gardens, Norwich, on October 12th, and at North Walsham on
March 8th, 1830. At the Ranelagh Gardens, on April 26th, 1830, she
walked 100 miles in 24 successive hours.
