- 1816 Aug 2 (dated Jul 23): Letter to Framework-knitters, from a FWK at M: "It is more than twenty-eight years since I first engaged in the framework-knitting trade. Numerous are the fauds and impositions which have been introduced amongst us during that period... In the latter part of this time, we have been engaged in two different attempts to put a stop to the numerous evil practices... in both attempts we have been unsuccessful... Let us learn experience from what we have suffered, and in our present endeavours, avoid those rocks we have before split upon. The best plan, in my opinion... when we have come to a decision upon what system to act upon, will be to endeavour to procure a general meeting of our employers, and lay our plan before them, and request that they would favour us with their advice... But should our employers refuse to meet us on such honourable terms, we shall have shown to the world that we have done all we can to reconcile all parties... But, you may ask, what plan would you have us adopt? I answer, that a bill shall be procured, if possible, to enable a general meeting of the hosiers to fix the price of every article making... Should any employer be found to put out any work under the price fixed by the general meeting... he shall be fined fifty pounds, and some mode of punishment be stated for the man that makes it..." Writer goes on to describe the theoretical benefits of this approach to all involved in the trade.

Cursham, in the chair) it was observed that of 1154 rateable buildings and 4027 acres of cultivated land, only 549 building occupiers are currently able to pay rates, and 1164 (?) people are receiving parish relief, at a cost of at least £800. The present monthly deficit on the Poor Rate is £262/1/6, in addition to an overall debt incurred by the Overseers of over £850. The meeting therefore proposed approaching the principal land-owners for a loan, to pay for employment schemes. To manage these funds, a committee was nominated: the churchwardens and overseers of the poor, with the Vicar, the Rev Wm. Bowerbank, the Rev Wm. Goodacre, the Rev John Williams, Charles Stanton, Thomas Heygate, Francis Wakefield, William Howitt, William Ellis, Dickinson Ellis, Abraham Booth, John Mason, Thomas Shipman, Thomas Ryecroft, George Vickers, Josh. Hurt & William McLellan. The Committee will own all stock and goods produced. Messrs Abney & Maltby's bank to act as treasurers.

Also resolved, a vote of thanks to the Vicar for his conduct of the meeting.

- 1816 Oct 18 (Mon prev): Quarter Sessions (at the Shire Hall, Nottingham): Samuel Hall of M, under 15 years old, charged with stealing, on 1 Oct, 1oz of silver, 2 copper tokens and a halfpenny, from Thomas Cook, butcher of M. Cook, who lives about 100 yards from his shop left on Oct 1 about 7pm and on returning the following morning about 6am, found the shop shutter and desk had been broken open. He occasionally employed Hall to run errands, and he had been in Cook's slaughter-house the day before. On enquiry, he was found to have gone to Nottingham Fair, with a friend called John Wood. Wood, aged about 13, testified that he had met with Hall in M Market Place on the evening of the 30th, when Hall decided not to go to the fair. Wood decided to go himself, walking with Ibberson's goods wagon. About midnght on the Tuesday, while waiting for the wagon, he heard someone in Cook's shop, and after calling for a while, was answered by a voice sounding like Hall. Shortly afterwards, the wagon set off, and Hall joined Wood. At first, he denied being the person in the shop, but as they reached Watson's Farm, he confessed. He paid the waggoner 6d to let them both ride, and two more 6d's for a French shilling. In Nottingham he bought some coffee in the Market Place, then they went into a church-yard and divided the money, so that Wood would keep quiet; Wood's share being about 11s. John Hurst, who had been alerted by Cook, met the boys at Red-hill as they returned, and enticed them into a publyc-house there, where he attempted to get the story out of Wood. Though Wood kept silent, Hurst then went to Hall and told him that Wood had confessed, at which point Hall did confess, and gave up his money. Hurst left him in custody, and set off after Wood, who had departed. Wood too was made to give up his money, and Hurst gave the whole amount recovered to John Freeman, the high-constable of M. Freeman appeared in court with his head bandaged, as he had been severely wounded while attempting to search and handcuff a man on the Thursday before the Sessions. He produced the recovered money. Hall, in his defence, claimed he had found the money in Stockwell Gate, but was found guilty. In passing sentence, the chairman acknowledged that he was an orphan, and had never been bound as an apprentice. He was sent to Southwell House of Correction for 3 months, the first 2 with hard labour, the last month in solitary confinement.
