6.--A correspondent, in a letter of this date, called attention in the
NORFOLK CHRONICLE to the use of dogs as animals of draught. "I saw," he
wrote, "in a big, overloaded baker's cart this week a disproportioned
dog, willing but quite unable to pull his cruel load up Market Place
Hill. Let the inhabitants of Norwich withdraw their custom from any
baker who is guilty of this barbarism."
14.--The Fakenham coach, on its journey to Norwich, was descending Guist

London, who sustained a broken thigh and received a severe wound in the
neck.
28.--The Cley estate, the property of Mr. John William Tomlinson, was
