1825 Norwich Mercury 5 Feb On Saturday last William JARVIS was taken in the act of fowl-stealing on the premises of Mr Robert WORTLEY by Thomas NEWLAND, a person employed by Wm PRIMROSE to guard his premises, in consequence of the numerous depredations which have lately been committed in Trunch and the neighbouring villages. Newland’s conduct is beyond all praise. He boldly entered the fowl-house unarmed and secured the offender. We are happy to hear that a handsome subscription (collection) has been opened for him by the inhabitants. The prisoner has been committed.
