The House of Parliament met for dispatch of business, but adjourns sine die on account of His Majesty's illness. 1788. Dec. His Majesty much better, but not declared, to be out of da.nger. Lord George Gordon is still scribling very erroneous and treasonable u^Don His Majesty's illness, quoting Dea.u[teronomy] and Kings from the Old Testament wdth respect to monarchy. He confesses to be author of the publication, but the printer is not yet found out, but diligent enquiry is making. It's i^robable that Lord George Avill be conftned for life. 1788. Dec. 6.

Supplement to 1788; with several other matters which happened many years ago, brought to remembrance :— '^ Mr. Mark William Carr, eldest son of the spendthrift Thomas Carr of Eshot by his wife Jane, widow of— Cmilif!', was born in Barbados ciira August, 1762, aiid married at Hexham 1 Dec. 1788, Klizabeth, daughter of James Collinson of London. He was admitted free of the Newcastle Merchants Company 16 July, 1818, and died at Hexham 24 July, 1833, having had issue one son and seven daughters. " John Miller ))ecarae tenant of Warkworth New Barns under tlie Duke and Duchess of Northumberland circa 1774.
305 Mr. Gilbert Park of London has sold the following estates, viz., •Coatyards, ^Vharton, and the house and land in Rothbury, being all the possessions he had in the county of Northumberland, but was under a necessity of so doing. ^^ Edwanl Gallon, esq., has also sold his part and share of Wharton estate, being subject often times to be overflowed with water, but under no necessity. i*^ A letter from Mr. Pitt to the Prince of Wales respecting the regency, and mentioning three or four limitations in case of his accepting thereof. An answer was returned indicating his acceptance but the jiurport thereof seems with reluctance ; not pleased to be so limitted, rather choosing more liberty. Limitations—Clauses and restrictions. Vide, an Act of Parliament . liegent—the per[s]on that governs a kingdom during the absence, minority, or indisposition of a king, queen, etc. Alx)ut tift}^ years ago was tried and condemned at the Northumberland assizes, one Cun-y, for the murder of Robert Sheavel,^" of Hartley. The body, after execution, was hung up in chains in a field adjoining to Hartley, denoting the ignominious crime, and to detarr others from the like offence. The offender was too intimate and familiar with Sheavel's wife, who was believed to be concerned in the perpetrating of the crime, as some hints were given in court, but not made clear, the neighlx)urs being tender therein. She lived in disgrace ever after, and died miserably, for the crime could not be forgot by the neighbourhood, being too evident. After sentence was passed by the judge, the delinquent, without reflection, boldly addressed the ladies upon the bench, saying, Will none of you ' step forward and petition to save my life ' ? He, being a remarkable genteel person of a man, gave him much impudence through the whole of his tryal. A number of years ago Captain Thomas Grey (one of Howick '^ George Park of Warton in Coquetdale had seisin of lands there in 1602. His descendant, Gilbert Park of Warton, married at Rothbury 13 Feb., 1654,5, Frances Thirlwall of Newbiggin, near Hexham, an alliance which opened out to his heirs the prospect of succeeding to the propertj' of the ancient family of Thirlwall of Thirlwall. The great grandson of this match, Gilbert Park of Hatton Wall, in the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, timber merchant, succeeded to the family property of Warton on tlie death of his uncle Gilbert Park of Warton, and obtained Coatyards l)y his marriage with Isabella, daughter of William Robinson of that place and of Gray's Inn. Warton was purchased by Mr. Jolm Robson and Coatyards by Major Wood (see p. 262, supra), stated to be a scion of the Beadnell family. "' See Gallon pedigree, new f/l-iforj/ of Norlhnmherland, vol. ii. p. 4S6. '• 1738 9. January 15. Robert Shevill of Hartley, overman, buried. Earsdon Ittgltters. 5lichael Curry was hanged at tlie West gate, Newcastle, on 4 September, 1739, for the murder of Robert Shevil of Hartley. He owned the murder, but alleged that he had been tempted to the deed by Shevil's wife. After execution the body was taken to Hartley and there hung in chains. Cf. Richardson, Local Historian'-^ Talde Book, vol. i. p. 392. 20
