Hi, I have come across this paper too, it also covers Suffolk and makes very interesting reading. I found references to the family I am researching which was great. Jenny

found this great site with loads of names sample of stories below http://Foxearth(.)org(.)uk/1862-1863BuryNorwichPost(.)html April 14th 1863 Three boys, George Cooper, Abraham Grist and Walter Grist were summoned with firing a cannon loaded with stones in the street in Melford. As the parents consented to them being flogged by the police no convictions were recorded against the boys. April 14th 1863 On Tuesday the Sunday school children at Glemsford had a treat, the new school room was decorated by Mr William Byford, at 2 pm there was a perambulation round the village with music and banners, about 140 sat down to a roast and a boiling, there was plenty to spare so that many poor old soul was comforted by the fragments that remained, the Rev G.Coldham addressed the children giving each a little book relative to the recent Royal Marriage which the fete was meant to celebrate. April 28th 1863 Frederick Snell of Glemsford was charged with stealing a coat, the property of Walter Humphry of Hartest. The prisoner was coming to Bury to attend Militia drill and stopped at a public house in Hartest where the prosecutor was playing ten pins and stole the coat from the bowling green, he pawned it at Miss List's. Remanded. worth a look just for the stories sandra off to bed now
