NORFOLK.
At the petty sessions on the 11th instant, Mr. George Alger, farmer and dealer, Pulham St. Mary Magdalen, was charged on the information of Sergt. Nursey, with driving 160 sheep through the parishes of Fersfield, Bressingham, Roydon, Diss, Frenze, and Scole, without a license. Defendant did not appear on that occasion, and the bench decided to hear the case in his absence. Policeman William Trudgill, proved the driving of the sheep from Blo’ Norton to Fersfield, and Mr. Alfred Phillipps, farmer, deposed to having seen the sheep in Fersfield. Policeman Oakley, of Diss, traced the sheep through the town on the 21st March, and saw them driven into a field near the Railway Tavern, about nine o’clock at night. Policeman Stapleton proved that the sheep were driven through Scole. Eaton, the drover in charge of the sheep shewed the witnesses three licenses from Pulham to Bio' Norton, which was in the opposite direction to which the sheep were being driven, and there were more sheep in the flock than was specified on the license. The defendant appeared on Friday last, and pleaded guilty, and was fined £20 and £3 17s. 8d. costs, and on his refusing to pay, a distress warrant was issued, and his pony and cart seized, but Alger shortly after found a friend, who paid the money for him.

The Ipswich Journal
Saturday 11th December 1880 Page 12

A Narrow Escape. - James Collings and Henry Mark, labourers, Kenninghall, were charged with stealing one fowl, value 2s., at Fersfield, the property of Caleb Robinson, farmer, on December 2nd.
Prosecutor stated that on Wednesday, December 1st, he had a steam threshing engine at work on his premises at Fersfield. The two prisoners were employed by him to work on the engine. They left of work about half-past four o’clock in the afternoon. They all went into the Crown public-house, which he kept, and he gave them about a gallon and a half of beer. About a quarter to five he went into another room to get his tea, and during that time he saw the prisoner Collings and others go out of the room several times. Witness went out about six o’clock and looked into the fowl-house, when he missed ten fowls. About a quarter of an hour afterwards Mark asked for a light to get his donkey, as he wanted to be going. His man, Samuel Allum, got a light and went into the shed, when he said, “Surely, Mark, the fowls ain't in your cart; here's some feathers against your cart wheel.” Allum then lifted up a guano bag in the cart and found one of the fowls underneath. Collings’s basket was underneath this fowl, Allum then called him, and be took the fowl and basket indoors. The fowl produced was the same. When he got into the house he looked into the basket. Collings was present, and he said to him, “There have been some fowls in this basket, as there are some blood and feathers in it.” There was also some blood in the guano bag. Prosecutor then threatened to send for the police if anyone left the house, upon which Collings said that one of the men, Stephen Bond, did not come in for an hour after the others. He knew this to be false, as they all came in together. From what Collings told him he sent for the police, and Bond’s bouse was searched. There were 11 fowls altogether. He missed them all that night, but found nine of them in different places the nert morning. The remaining one had not been found.
Saml. Allum, labourer in prosecutor's employ, proved finding the fowl in Mark&rfsquo;s cart on the top of Collings’ basket. He spoke of it before Mark, when the latter said, “That's a rum 'un.” He did not see either of the prisoners go towards the fowl-house during the afternoon.
Policeman Sales, stationed at Bressingham, said he compared the prisoner Collings’ boots with some footprints in the fowl-house and found them to correspond.
Jas. Greenwood, who was present when the footmarks were compared, said the policeman did not make a fresh impression with the boot, but he fitted it into the footprint.
The evidence not being satisfactory, both the prisoners were discharged.

ALLEGED HORSE-STEALING IN NORFOLK.
On Wednesday, at the Diss Petty Sessions, before the Rev. H. T. Frere (chairman), the Rev. H. Bradley, and R. H. Crawshay, Esq.,
Edward Lovick, late of Fersfield, drover was charged on remand with stealing two geldings and one mare, the property of Frederick Smith, dealer, Fersfield, on the 15th inst.
Mr. Linay, Norwich, prosecuted.
Prosecutor said that on the 15th inst. prisoner was in his employ and went to Diss Market with him. They took eight ponies. Prosecutor sold one, and about eight o’clock in the evening he sent the prisoner with seven ponies to his (prosecutor's) father's at Fersfield. Prosecutor afterwards found four of the ponies on the road, but the prisoner was not with them, nor was he at the prosecutor’s father’s house. On the following day he was shown three ponies by the police which he identified as his property, and valued them at £21. Prisoner had been in witness’s employ since May 8th. He was not in partnership with the prisoner, nor did he tell him to take the ponies and make as much as he could of them. Prisoner did not sell one horse for him and take the money, nor did he allow him to take horses by the week to sell them.
Amos Watts, labourer, Redgrave, said that he was with prosecutors at Ipswich Fair, and he heard prisoner say that he would go to Bungay Fair for prosecutor and receive victuals as payment, as he had neither food nor money. He did not see prisoner sell a pony at Ipswich, nor did he remember prisoner trying to sell one to Mr. Cooke, of Kenninghall.
Henry Wade, labourer, Fersfield, said that he saw the prisoner with seven ponies near Fairweather’s workshop. He caught one, saddled and bridled it, and tied it up to a gate, and then caught two others and tied them up also. He then drove the other four in the direction of Fersfield Crown. When he returned he got on to the back of the one with the saddle and bridle, and rode away with the other two in the direction of Shelfanger.
P.C. Alfred Willkin, stated that on Sunday, the 17th inst., he went to Stoke Holy Cross, and in a lane there saw the prisoner with a number of ponies. Witness examined the ponies and the prisoner ran away. Witness afterwards found him concealed in a fence in a meadow. He took him into custody, and handed prisoner with the three ponies over to Sergt. Hammond.
In answer to the charge prisoner said, I was in co. with Smith.
The Magistrates committed prisoner for trial at the Sessions, bail being allowed, himself in £20 and two sureties of £10 each.

FASHIONABLE MARRIAGES.
SHELTON - DARBY,
At the Abbey Church, Bath, on Wednesday, the marriage was celebrated of Mr. Frederick William Shelton Shelton, elder son of Captain F. Shelton, of Prestbury, Gloucestershire, and grandson of the late Venerable Archdeacon Timbrel!, D.D., and Miss Edith Elizabeth Barrow Darby, younger daughter of the late Rev. G. W. Darby, M.A., rector of North Wingfield, Derbyshire, formerly of Fersfield, Norfolk, and grand-daughter of the late Rev. James Barrow, Fellow of St. John’s College, Cambridge, rector of North Wingfield, and formerly of North and South Lopham, Norfolk. The service, which was fully choral, commenced at two o’clock, the officiating clergy being the Rev. Norman Shelton, rector of Taynton, brother of the bridegroom, and the Rev. B. Norton Thompson, incumbent of Christ Church, Bath. While the guests were assembling Mr. A. E. New, the organist, played “The March of the Priests,” and the hymn “O God, our help in ages past,” was sung as a processional, the clergy and choir meeting the bridal procession at the west door of the Abbey.
The bride, who was given away by her eldest brother, Mr. George Barrow Darby, wore a handsome dress of white Oriental Tadmar satin, train, skirt, and bodice all in one, draped with real Venetian lace from the left shoulder, and falling nearly to the edge of the skirt in front; the lace was caught up at the waist with orange blossom, and fell to the end of the train. The sleeves of the dress were full to the elbow with frills of the lace, and the prettily drawn bodice had lace round the throat and epaulettes of orange blossoms; the bride also wore a long silk tulle veil and a wreath of orange blossoms, her only ornaments being a very old gold cross and gold chains. The bride was attended by five little bridemaidens - Miss Marian L. B. Darby, Miss Muriel Shelton, Miss Nellie and Miss Enid Adams, and Miss B. Rogers. They were all dressed as little Roman flower girls, in white crepon frocks, loose hanging sleeves, with tight under-sleeves of yellow silk, yellow silk sashes, gold ribbons of different widths tracing the edges of the frocks, sleeves, and necks, white shoes and stockings crossed with gold up the legs. Flat round Oriental baskets were slung over their shoulders with gold ribbon, and held by one hand under the arm. The baskets were filled with crimson and other roses. Their Roman headdresses were of yellow and white gossamer edged with gold, and each wore a gold Indian bangle, the gift of the bridegroom. The Rev. A. H. Pattrick, Minor Canon of Christ Church, Oxford, accompanied the bridegroom as best man. During the service the hymn “Now thank we all our God” was sung and the ceremony concluded with the Wedding March. The chancel was tastefully embellished by plants.
After the wedding the bridal party and guests returned to the Grand Pump Room Hotel, where a reception was held. Bells rang merrily at the Abbey, and also at North Wingfield, Derbyshire, and at Fersfield, Norfolk, the villagers were entertained at tea and supper given by the bride. Amongst the presents were a silver fruit or butter dish, with name and date engraved, from the cottagers of Fersfield, and a Crown Derby tea set from the parishioners of North Wingfield, both being greatly valued by the bride as coming from her old homes. During the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Shelton left Bath for London en route for Italy and Switzerland, where the honeymoon will be passed. The bride’s going away dress was of powdered blue crepon, crossed with black watered ribbon at the back and coming over the shoulders, and full gathered bodice; she wore a small fancy straw hat trimmed with black velvet and pink roses.
