5.--Died, in his 87th year, at Norwich, Thomas Hurry, church bell-hanger,
and for more than 50 years a member of the St. Peter Mancroft company of
ringers.
12.--A severe gale occurred on the Norfolk coast. The barque Try Again
was lost off Yarmouth, and the crew saved by means of the rocket
apparatus. Other vessels were wrecked, and several lives lost.
13.*--"We are sorry to learn that the Norfolk County Cricket Club has
been brought to an untimely end. The officers of the club hold out no
hope that it can be carried on, as the persistent apathy of those who
call themselves members, many of whom have failed to pay their
subscriptions, has left the treasurer with a large amount of debts and no
hope of being able to meet them." At a meeting held on the 17th, it was
agreed by the Dereham Cricket Club to hire the ground hitherto let to the
County Cricket Club.
