An evening at the George.
To the Sensible Inhabitants of the town of Northampton

My Friends,
A Performance took place on Tuesday Evening, at the George Hotel, in this Town, an Outline of which I proceed to lay before you, and to take your opinion on the same.

A vagabond Frenchman, who was lately kicked out of Aylesbury, and who has been for some weeks past parading his Mustachios in this Town, finding he could not deceive me by his impostures, has taken refuge under the wing of a Baptist Minister, with whom he is, I believe, at present picking up his crumbs; and to satisfy his own spite, and gratify his new friends, he thought well, on Tuesday Evening, to procure an Exhibition of Father Gavazzi, an Italian Priest, whom he brought down form London, to inveigh against the Corruptions of the Church of Rome, at Northampton.

A meeting having been duly called, the Mayor of the Town took the Chair; Gavazzi, with a Stranger or two, some preachers of the Town, and a Little Frenchman, appeared on the platform; and the room was filled with a large number of decently dressed Men and Women of the Town and Neighbourhood. The Performance commenced by a Person reading, in English, an outline of what was going to be done; when the Father rose, and with stentorian lungs, and violent gesticulations, poured forth a torrent of eloquent but unintelligible Italian. That the gaping audience might know when to express their approbation, a man in a distant part of the Room acted as Fugleman; and when he gave the signal, they stamped and clapped. After an hour and a half of most furious harangue, one whole sentence of which was not understood by one in fifty of the audience, a vote of thanks to the pious Father was proposed and seconded; and the Assembly broke up, highly delighted, edified, and instructed by what they had seen; and having spent a very agreeable evening at the George, returned to their homes, quite determined to hate and protest against Papists and Popery more than ever.

Such was the scene enacted in this Town, on Tuesday Evening, sanctioned by the presence of the Mayor, and a goodly muster of Clergy of most Denominations in the Town and Neighbourhood; --- a scene, I hesitate not to say, as ludicrous as any exhibited last week, on Boughton Green. A hash of the sane Dainty Dish may very likely be served up to the public, in the Mercury and Herald. On Saturday Morning; and every Pulpit in the Town will no doubt be made to ring, on Sunday, with a repetition (more or less effective) of the calumnious invectives of the pious Father.

But--- Men of Northampton, are these scenes to be repeated? Are the amenities of life, and the comfort of society, to be destroyed amongst us, be every Foreign Harlequin, brought here by Bigots, to make this Town a hot-bed of Intolerance, and to sow Discord and Religious Hate among Brethren? I believe and trust that you will answer, NO!

I am, your Friend and Fellow-Townsman +Wm. Wareing

Pg2:
"Casus / Puer patrem saepe per noctum comitatur as lignum in dominifundo furandum. Pater moritur ante restitutonem factam, puer vero post elapso aliquot annos jam adolescens factus putat se ad religionem vocari. Confessario idem videtur; sed ex damno illato dubium oritur utrum liceat juveni, cum nondum domino satisfecerit, statum religiosum amplecti, an potius debeat ungessum differe quo possit negotiationi se dare ut pecumiam domino restituendam congere valeat. Quaerit igitur secum

  1. utrum liceat obicem ponere quo quis as restitutionem faciendam inhabilis redditur?
  2. Quid juveni consulendum?"
    [Rough transation:
    The boy often accompanies his father through the night to steal wood on the farm. The father dies before the restoration takes place, but after the lapse of several years the boy, having become an adolescent, thinks that he is called to religion. It seems the same to the confessor; but from the damage caused, a doubt arises as to whether it is permissible for a young man, when he is not yet satisfied with his master, to embrace a religious state, or rather he should postpone the anointed one so that he can devote himself to business in order to be able to accumulate wealth to restore the master. Therefore he asks with himself
  3. Is it permissible to place an obstacle by which someone is rendered incapable of making restitution?
  4. What should the youth advise?]

Latin Text [a translation below]:
Omnibus has visuris sautem et beneditionem in Domino.

Synodum dioecesanam hoc anno, Deo juvante habituri, ut SS Patrum instituta, praeceptaque sequamur; ne pereat fructus ille, quem ex ea capere omnes possumus, monemus in Dominio, ac poenis sacrorum Canonum, seu aliis ad arbitrium nostrum proponendis, jubemus in virtute Sanctae Obedientiae Ecclesia nostrae Cathedralis Canonicos omnesque etiam Regulares, curae animarum in Dioecesi nostra addictos, et quoscunque tam e Clero Saeculari quam Regulari, qui ratione Facultatum quas a nobis obtinent, vel ex alio aliquo titulo Synodo hujus Dioecesis interesse debent, die sexta mensis maii proximi in nostrum proCathedralem Ecclesiam sancti felicis convenire, neque vero pro se alios mittere; nisi qui legitima causa sint impediti, quam nobis probaverint. Volumus autem ut haec Synodi indictio affixa valvis proCathedralis ecclesiae perinde omnes, et singulos interesse debentes afficiat, ac si fuisset singulus singulatim intimata.

in Feriis Quintis ante Synodum a die 16 aprilis Missae de Spiritu Sancto fiant, vel Collecta dicatur, et in Dominicis ac Festis Diebus, Litaniae Sanctorum ante Missam recitentur.

Rough Translation:
To all health and blessing in the Lord.

We will have a Diocesan Synod this year, with the help of God, so that we may follow the institutions and precepts of the Holy Fathers; lest that fruit be lost, which we all can take from it, we warn in the Dominion, and by the punishments of the sacred Canons, or by proposing to others at our discretion, we command, by virtue of Holy Obedience, the Canons of our Cathedral Church, and all the Regulars also, committed to the care of souls in our Diocese, and any both from the Secular and Regular Clergy, who, by reason of the Faculties which they obtain from us, or by reason of some other title, must attend the Synod of this Diocese, on the sixth of May next, in our pro-Cathedral Church of St. Felix, and not send others in their stead; except those who are hindered by a legitimate cause, which they have proved to us. This notice of Synod will be affixed to the gates of the Cathedral church, should equally affect all those who must attend, as if it had been intimated to each one individually.

On the Thursdays before the Synod from the 16th of April Masses on the Holy Spirit should be held, or the Collect said, and on Sundays and Feast Days, the Litany of the Saints should be recited before the Mass.

Given at Northampton on the 19th day of March, A. D. 1857

The honest answer to the direct question will neither be a "yes" or a "no". This is why he asked for a personal meeting in Hunstanton and a discussion with the doctor. Long time since had any spirits. Only touched altar wine. Alcohol was a danger in the past - the Bishop has little experience of mission work - Hunstanton is not an easy post. Fr Flynn considers he made a fatal mistake in not seeing the Bishop much earlier. The doctor will be sending a report under separate cover.

Headed: "Holmes", an undated note from the previously arranged meeting held in Norwich with Bishop Cary-Elwes.
Man is a convert from Wesleyanism; Woman is Irish, once a school teacher in Ireland; Girl aged 9.
They had previously dealt with Canon Eeles. Have not sent their child to the catholic elementary school after she attended Mrs Ridsdale's school in King's Lynn. Being "flagrant" Fr Stokes is refusing them sacraments. They threatened to go to Prot. church instead. They cite other cases where catholic children are not being sent to the catholic school. The real reason for the meeting is they have the impression that this will affect whether the boy will gain a scholarship to the High School.
Bishop advised that the boy can still gain a scholarship from the [catholic?] school; Bishop queries whether the parents will be satisfied.
Final paragraph: "Holmes was secretary of school, his wife was a nuisance to all, and he had [?] [?] he has been forgiven..." "...Case of revenge".
