Notes from the 10 December 1832 Edition of the Bridgwater Alfred:
Advertisement that the extensive estate of Poundsford in the Parish of Crowcombe is to be sold at upcoming auction.
An insolvent debtor notice is posted concerning the debts and creditors of one Robert Munckton of Chard.
Notice of the final dividend to be paid in the bankruptcy case of Payne, Hope and Company of Wells.
Notice and editorial that an election is to take place in Bridgwater on 11 December 1832. The following write up praises Mr Luttrell, but bemoans the terrible fortunes of the Tory party, which faces wipe out at the election across the country. This was to play out in the results, which saw Earl Grey under the Whigs win a landslide.
A letter to the Bridgwater Alfred from ‘Fair Play’ of Taunton concerning ‘T. Lethbridge and the Church’. Lethbridge had been previously mentioned in the 17 September edition of the Alfred.
Another letter is published from a ‘Somerset Freeholder’ highlighting the parody of Thomas Paine’s Rights of Man, the Rights of Waters, part of which is republished.
Notice that at the church of Chilton, presumably Chilton Trinity, Mr C. Coxload married Emily Whittaker of Bath.
