Mr. John Prince, surgeon of Balsham examined the body , and was of the opinion that death was occasioned by violent injuries on the chest; the probability is that the wheel of the van passed over his chest, but there being no direct evidence to that effect, the jury returned a verdict that the deceased "died from the effect of violent injuries on the chest, but how such injuries were inflicted no evidence appeared."


Death of Mr Nash - The Cambridge Chronicle and Journal, 20 April 1844 (p2)

The dogs were found in the yard by the shepherd about five in the morning. Mr Long has kindly accepted, and is perfectly satisfied with, the lives of the two dogs in expiation of his great loss.


Fire - The Cambridge Independent Press, 6 July 1850 (p3)

CARLTON.- Fire.- About eight o'clock, on Wednesday morning, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. John Crossby, surgeon, of Carlton, and being thatched, they were reduced to ruin in an incredibly short space of time, even before scarcely a vestige of property could be secured. The fire occurred through the heating of an oven.


Bigamy - The Cambridge Chronicle and University Journal, Saturday August 3, 1850 (p2)

CARLTON.- Bigamy.- At the Norwich Assizes, Stephen Shinkfield (44) pleaded guilty to a charge of having married Ann Cook, in this village, on the 10th November last, his former wife Ellen being then alive ; and also to a previous conviction for felony.


Incendiary fire - The Cambridge Independent Press, Saturday December 24, 1853 (p5)

CARLTON.- Incendiary Fire.- On Wednesday evening week, about nine o'clock, a barn in the occupation of Mr. Revel, of Cockfield farm, was discovered to be on fire, and owing to the wind, coupled with the cunning of the incendiary - he having set fire to the east corner of the barn - the entire premises soon became a prey to the devouring element; indeed, some exertion was required to get the children, ten in number, out before the house took fire. It is fortunate the fire was discovered at the moment it was, as Mr. Revel was preparing to retire to his bed : and had he and his family been asleep at the time, there is no doubt they would have perished in the flames. We believe most of the live stock on the farm was saved, with the exception of a foal which could not be got out. All the dead stock, with the farming implements, except the carts and waggons, were destroyed, as was the household furniture. Mr. Revel is insured in the Imperial Fire Office.

Trial of George Cornwall - The Cambridge Chronicle, Friday July 26th, 1889 (p8)

CARLTON cum WILLINGHAM- Concerning the trial of George Cornwall, at the County Quarter Sessions, H. St John Raikes, the counsel for the defence, writes that the prisoner was brought forward under two indictments for assault, and - "On the more serious charge the prisoner was acquitted, while as regards the minor one, I, as his counsel , practically pleaded guilty as there was no defence to it. No suggestion was made by the court in my hearing that the prisoner should be examined as to his sanity, as that question would have been decided before, and not after sentence."


Suspicious death at the Red Lion - The Cambridge Chronicle, Friday February 8, 1895 (p8)
