Robert Bell, gamekeeper, in the employ of Mr Bonner, Tillingbourne, said that he saw the men on the Common, with a dog, which was hunting about. He saw several pheasants go up. He also noticed Steadman put a rabbit into his pocket, and went up to ask him for it,but he refused to part with it. - They were convicted of taking the rabbit,each fined 1s.6d. and 8s. 6d costs.

The policeman took charge of the waggon, till another of the men, in the same employ as defendant (Mr Lee's), took it into his care. Defendant, who had pleaded not guilty, on being asked if he had any questions to ask the constable,said it was the first time he had got drunk (laughter). Fined 5s. and 11s. 6d. costs.
An Early Scrimmage - Edward Field and John Bullen, of Little Bookham, were charged with being drunk and disorderly at Effingham, on Feb. 13th. - It appears the men are engaged with a traction engine. They got drunk, and having, presumably, contrived to disagree, and become "pot-valiant," had "set-to," the little performance being interrupted by a passing policeman. This was at about 2.am - Field, who appeared, was ordered to pay 5s. and 8s. costs, or go to prison for fourteen days; and Bullen, who had ignored the summons, 10s. and 8s.costs.

The whole of the licenses were, therefore, renewed without opposition. - - -

Ladies Relief Societies
There would seem to be no reason why ladies should not combine together in clubs, as well as gentlemen, and be banded together in friendly societies, which afford relief in times of sickness, and funeral donations when a member dies. In such business ladies might be safely entrusted with large departmental and administrative powers, and might be fairly left to do the work themselves.
In the Talk-o'-th'-Hill district there has this week been formed a Court of the United Sisters' Friendly Society (Suffolk Unity) , and the start has been made under such agreeable and encouraging auspices as to augur success.
Miss Marsh-Caldwell, of Linley Wood, a well.known philanthropic. and most generous lady, presided at the inaugural meeting. and gave "tone" to the gathering. Such societies. no matter whether formed for the advantage of men or women, constitute a strong element in the solidity of the empire. as members of friendly, building, kindred societies are generally regarded as the most thrifty, provident, and reliable of the population.

United Sisters Friendly Society (Suffolk Unity) - On Tuesday night a public meeting was held in the National Schoolroom to explain to the ladies of the neighbourhood the objects of the above society, and to consider the desirability of opening a Court. - Miss Marsh-Caldwell, of Linley Hall, presided. The lady said she was always willing to help forward any cause of self-help or thrift, for the money subscribed benefited individuals in the first instance, and then the State, as the surplus money was invested, so that it could be utilised for the carrying on of public works, and thereby find employment for many who need it. - - -
A unanimous resolution was then passed by the ladies present to open a court, which Miss Marsh-Caldwell was pleased to name "Court Louisa," and a good number of names were given to the secretary. After some further discussion relating to details, an enthusiastic vote of thanks was accorded to Miss Marsh-Caldwell for presiding and taking such a deep interest in any matter which affected the welfare of the parishioners. - - -

The decorations in the Parish Church consisted mainly of primroses, which were most tastefully arranged by Mrs Reginald Wood, of Bignall End.

The first part consisted of songs and instrumental pieces. Misses C. Crimes and E. Fryer played a pianoforte duet in admirable style. Miss A.Dale's "Gipsy Life," and Miss E. Taylor's "Skipper and his boy," received much applause. - - -
The second part consisted of a fairy drama especially written for the occasion by Mr W.H.Russell,entitled "Claribel, or the Coal Sprites, and the Fairies of Linley Wood,' the music for which was arranged by Mr E.J.Kelley. Misses Taylor, Farrington, Barker, Price,Charlesworth, Bossons and Cotterill were fairies of Linley Wood; while Mr S. Baynam was the good Fairy Queen. Master Harry Proulton (who spoke the prologue in an effective manner, was Prince Valentine, and looked the part to perfection. Miss Ethel Fryer in the title role was a pretty heroine Claribel; Master E. Bayley was successful as the page Trebizondi; Master I.Watts as the comic servant to Dame Flint. The parts of King Cannel Coal and Dame Flint were taken by Master W.J.Renshaw , who acting throughout was very creditable. Master Cotterill made a rather too mild Robber Chief.
Other characters were: Robinson Crusoe, Red Riding Hood, Friday (by Master Broadhurst, whose Negro song and dance caused abundant amusement), Lilly Spray. Yum Yum and Rosie Bunch, by Misses Maud Coglan, M.Bayley and A.Ankers.
The piece abounded in local allusions, songs and dances, which, considering the extreme youth of some of the performers, were well rendered, and well received by appreciative audiences.
Miss K. Mosby presided at the piano throughout the evening, and played the incidental music. Miss M. Kelley acted as prompter; while Messrs Crimes and Fryer managed the scenes.&c. The whole affair passed off with great success.

Letter to Georgina from Louisa. Georgina travelling on the continent with a Mrs Harper and others.
3rd May 1886
Darling Georgy,
You can not think how distressed we have been at your not receiving our letters when you expected them but we have always written the very day we heard from you when we were to since then and have never lost one post. But you see from the wretched [chemys? Change?] in ours here we always lose 2 posts above Chenolas friends.
Is not this grand news about our John. I will quote his very words from his letter as you will like to see them.
My dear Aunt Missings,
I should have written before but I had been so awfully busy that I have not had a moment to spare. The immediate result of this busy-ness is, that I have got prizes on five subjects, the ultimate result will probably be softening of the brain.
I shall be with you on Tuesday, by the train which leaves town at noon
One is [agog, agoug, agony?] to know upon what subject and what his prizes are, dear fellow. He wanted to know about the Royds answer to the invitation which I sent him. It is an uncertain one as they have asked friends to the [Badger?] hounds and want John to join them at it. But anyway, they mean to try to come and evidently wish to do so.
So we have our feet in the air at present waiting till we have the Brereton answer. Posy will have told you of poor Martha Prices death. I am so sorry for her poor husband and little baby. I had a letter from him a few days ago, telling me of the birth of his little son and that though it was now about 10 days old Martha had been very ill and in danger the night before..
Here I was interrupted by Captain Edward Heathcote who has been here for about two hours as [more?] agreeable to one as he always is. P came in and we were all three discussing these school matters. Of course he (has?) quite a different version and between the two scales it is difficult to make out the exact truth, but John [exulted?] poor Scotchies had been puzzed [kaibor?] and not clear in his facts as Mr [Reary?] and I found him in the Trustee business apropos to selling the Church land and [toncting?] about trifles which we know as a weakness at the Rectory.
But why [difficult to read] [crack that?] leg man as a [tall hede shed?] a district of the clerics? It is very sad, I mean to set a letter upon the [stacks?] as soon as this is dispatched and then there will be a chance of something fresh to tell you which P and I writing the same day is difficult.
The Household seems all to have settled down quietly again. I am grateful to say. I like our old [Street?]Johnston [prelauled?] as much as ever and I think the latter will prove at really good servant in every way. She is very content about her little Mary who looks as well and seems as happy as possible at the Myatts.
Edens the new maid. I am not enamored of at present. She is so terribly limp and still. However, she seems orderly and Posy who is having a gold made says that she seems quite to know what she is about. So we shall see. I am again afraid that she is very delicate.
Beeston begged me to tell you that all is going on well at the farm and that he has now 5 calves counting the one born before you went and they and their mothers are all well and hearty. We have had some charming sun and showers, best farming weather possible and one fancies that one can see the grass grow.
Mr [Bates?] wrote yesterday to say that Baker (of the Oak) was every way out his threat of ceasing [page 3] we promised poor Davies the Schoolmaster, we would do if possible.
I am so sorry that you are losing some of your companions at the [Islands, Felinks?] that you liked and very glad that Mr H is going to have such an amusing out. But again very sorry for poor Miss Gore Booth. How some people do suffer!!
But, in ones old age and consequent knowledge of life one can gratefully feel sure, that our Father does number our hairs, and he and the blessed Saviour, help those to bear to whom he knows it is for their good to [scheme?].There heavy visitations.
Oh! It seems too good to be true, that we are to have you back so soon darling G.
Ever your truly loving L.
For Mrs Harper, private.
Thank you much, dear Mrs Harper for your account of Miss G. Don’t let her read till Professor says she may. I hope you are well.
With much esteem E Louisa M.C.
Dont you think Gladstone has behaved in the most mean way about Lord Beaconsfield. One cannot help
That proves that Mr Bate ought to have looked into things with such a man more closely before.
[more writing sideways difficult to read.]
Thinking of the donkey and the dear Lion, though [Gloucester?] can not even take the shelter that he is a donkey!
Goodbye our darling G. Please thank [Mable?] always write and will love to BIR.
I am v L.all the annoyance and trouble in his power endeavouring to sell of the Manor of the Hay (He agreed to sell to Thornby at the sale) also the fixtures and by JW Kings advice Mr Bete has distained. All this is very tiresome but [3 words illegible]

WEDDING BELLS. MARRIAGE OF MR. BROADWOOD AND MISS A. R. HEATH.
If the saying is true that "happy the bride upon whom the sun shines'' then there is a bright and pleasant future for the younger daughter Sir Leopold G. Heath, K.C.8., of Anstie Grange Holmwood, Miss Ada Randolph Heath,who was united on Thursday afternoon to Mr. Henry J. Tchudi Broadwood, second son of Mr. Henry Fowler Broadwood, Lyne, Rusper, Sussex.
The family of the bride is well-known and highly respected in the neighbourhood, Miss Heath having endeared herself in more ways than one to the inhabitants the village, not only by many acts of kindness, but also by the earnest manner in which she had devoted herself to the religious education of the children in the Sunday School, and may therefore, be readily understood, that great interest was manifested the happy event.
The day was delightfully fine, and everything passed off with the greatest eclat. The ceremony took place in the picturesque parish church of Holmwood which was filled to its utmost by an admiring congregation who were shown to their seats by the churchwardens.
The bridal party drove up to the church, the bridegroom being accompanied by the best man, Mr. C Des Graz.

Her head-dress consisted of a long tulle veil, with sprays of orange flowers, her ornaments being a beautiful set of diamonds. The bride carried a splendid bouquet of white flowers, chiefly of orange blossoms.
The bridesmaids in attendance were Miss Anny Broadwood. Miss Lucy Broadwood, Miss Donaldson, and Miss Sarah Gambier, who were habited in ivory satin short dresses-trimmed with lace, with tulle veils and while aigrettes, they each carrying a bouquet of tea-roses, and copper beech-leaves, which were greatly admired.
In fact, the toilettes of the ladies of the party were exceedingly handsome.

At the conclusion of the ceremony the newly wedded couple repaired to the vestry to sign the register, Mrs. Kennedy, meanwhile, (owing the absence of Mr.Williams), pealing forth on the organ the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March.
As the party left the church hearty cheers were given by the villagers assembled around the church.

Frederick C. Heath (Caldwell) was based in the Egypt region from 1882 to 1886 and then again from 1891 to 1894. It is difficult to know if there is any particular significance to the following note, as it is not known in which year it is written. From the signature it would appear that the author was H.H. Kitchener and this in itself may be the reason why it was kept.

Dear Heath,

The Evening Meeting -Speeches by Mr Robt. W. Perks, and Mr Halley Stewart.
In the evening one of the largest political gatherings even held in Louth was crowded in every part. The chair was taken by J.W. Morton Esq., J.P., president of the Louth Liberal Association; he was supported by Robert W. Perks Esq., of Chislehurst, the adopted Liberal candidate for the Louth Division. Halley Stewart Esq., late Liberal candidate for the Spalding division - - -Consternation in the Tory Ranks - - The Louth Tory paper - (great laughter) - has already sounded an alarm that this constituency is to beware of Mr Perks - - - Was it wicked then? (hear hear) No, it was thoroughly business-like, for were there no Conservative agents, and Conservative printers, and Conservative publicans and sinners who all expected to drink from the golden stream that would flow from the pockets of the Conservative candidate. (Great laughter and cheers.) And at last they found Mr Heath, and this Mr Heath's wealth was paraded before this constituency with a vengeance. Why, it was hammered out all over, and we were told - and I do not know whether it was an attempt at bribery or what it was, that if we only returned him to Parliament the Tory caucus was sure to be helped to build a new Tory Club. (Laughter). Then it was said the Mr Heath was to take Willingham Hall, or some place in the neighbourhood, and everyone would immediately share in the general prosperity in consequence of having to supply the household wants of Mr Heath. I think we were led to infer that the "pet of the county" would also do something (Laughter.) - - -
Well, it is satisfactory to know from the Louth Tory party that Mr Perks has made money, that his services in his profession have been so valuable as to enable him to make a lot of money. That is more than you can say for Mr Heath in his profession(Cheers and laughter.) We know that some of his father's income is derived from the overburdened British public in exchange for the very valuable, ornamental services he renders to the State by occasionally donning a cocked hat and allowing us to call him Vice-Admiral Heath (Laughter).
We should never fear a person 'twixt our candidate and the present Conservative member, not even if you throw "the broad forehead" into the bargain. (Cheers and laughter.) I read Mr Heath's speech at Spilsby. Why, it is a model speech of a Conservative member, for there is not a single idea in it. - - -
Mr Heath and the Louth Tories. Wait and see whether Lord Salisbury or Lord Randolph Churchill will lead. He said he would be prepared to follow even to the three acres and a cow.(Loud laughter.) I wonder how the Tories will like the three acres and a cow.(Laughter). - - - There is one statement, however, which I think I can prove Mr Heath does not believe himself. He said Mr Gladstone (Loud cheers) has lost the spell by which he made the people that the wrong was the better cause.
