Riots, Carlisle
The Carlisle Journal states, that tumult and disorder
at present prevail in that neighbourhood, and to a greater
extent than at any time since the disturbances first broke
out. It then proceeds to enumerate a variety of outrages
since the 15th, on which day the corn-mill at Monk-hill,
near that city, was broken into, and plundered by a number
of persons. Even the asylum of the poor is not spared by
these offenders. On Monday night, the 18th, the workhouse of
St. Cuthbert's parish, at Harraby-hill, was entered by one
of the windows, and a quantity of bacon and hams taken away.
