1.--Died at his residence in the Lower Close, Norwich, aged 90, Sylas
Neville, M.D. "Of this venerable gentleman, for a great many years an
inhabitant of this city, living as he did in a state of perfect
seclusion, there is little to record beyond the fact of his having been
born in London and having taken his doctor's degree at Edinburgh, in
1775. His inaugural essay, 'De Prognosi in Febribus,' delivered on the
occasion, is in print, and bears testimony to his acquirements both as a
classic and as a pathologist. During many years and to the last moments
of his existence, Dr. Neville was chiefly indebted to the kindness of
friends around him for the means of subsistence."
5.--George Edward Seales, known as a common informer, procured the
conviction of a coach proprietor, at the Norwich Police Court, for
carrying more than the regulation number of passengers. Seales, on
leaving the Guildhall, was violently assaulted by the mob, and was
escorted to his home by twenty police-officers.
6.--Col. Petre, of Westwick, presided at a meeting at the Assembly Rooms,
Norwich, at which was formed, for the prevention of cruelty to animals, a
society known as "The Animals' Friend Society."
--The Countess of Leicester sustained a compound fracture of the leg by a
fall from her horse whilst riding in Holkham Park.
