18.--At nine o'clock in the morning, Mr. Green, the aeronaut, who had
ascended in his balloon from Vauxhall Gardens, London, at six o'clock in
the evening of the 17th, descended between North Runcton and Hardwick,
about a mile from Lynn South Gates.
22.--The Duchess of Kent and Princess Victoria, on their way from
Burleigh House, Stamford, to Holkham Park, on a visit to Mr. Coke, passed
through Lynn, and were received with great enthusiasm. The horses were
removed from the Royal carriage, which was dragged through the town to
the Duke's Head Inn. The relay of horses having been sent towards
Gaywood, the populace drew the carriage, amid most loyal demonstrations,
to the eastern boundary of the town, where the horses were put to and the
journey resumed. At Holkham the preventive service formed a guard of
honour, and the whole of the tenantry were in attendance. On the 23rd
their Royal Highnesses were presented by the inhabitants of Wells with a
loyal address, to which the Duchess of Kent graciously replied. Their
Royal Highnesses left Holkham on the 24th for the seat of the Duke of
Grafton at Euston, and passed through Swaffham, where the race meeting
was delayed in order to give the large concourse the opportunity of
greeting their future Sovereign.
