[aged 37, lived in Swine’s Green], married with two children, hay dealer charged with being disorderly and
refusing to quit the Red Cow when requested by the Landlord, John Hubbard.. The three men were in the
house about 5 o’clock on Thursday. An old man called for half a pint of beer, which was accidentally
knocked off the table, and the handle of the mug was broken. Sampson picked it up, and then smashed it
on the floor, which naturally made him angry, and he told him to leave the house or he would call the
police. The two other defendants also behaved badly, and he told them to go. They remained, however,
drinking other people’s beer, and otherwise behaving in an improper way. On eof them threw a piece of
coal at him and injured his hat: all three annoyed him for two hours. As they had been previously
convicted they were each fined 18s, incuding costs, or seven days. Thirteen days allowed.

A Farm House on the other side of the road opposite the garden wall with barn, stable, pigeon house and other convenient

Possession may be had of the above premises at Michaelmas next.

On the other side I send you the advertisement of your Estate allotted in such a manner as it will fetch a good price, which I
propose inserting in the Ipswich and Norwich Papers unless I receive your order to the contrary. I duly received yours and cannot
agree with you in thinking it aan advantage to advertise in the London Papers or Registering, only putting yourself to an expense
for nothing. As I am certain it will fetch more to those in Beccles and the environsthan to any person in the Kingdom, as a
gentleman of fortune would never think of taking such antique building (if I may call it so) as it is no way modern nor wish to be
troubled with a brick kiln, or a number of buildings & co Malting Offices, but prefer a snug Mansion more in the Town. I think if
you duly weigh the matter you will agree with me in opinion and should be glad to hear from you. Hereon, mean time I am

During several years Dr Fauconberge was an inhabitant of Beccles; a locality which may have been selected by him either with
reference to his ecclesiastical duties, or on account of his wife’s connexion with some of the families “of wyrship” in a quiet and
pleasantly situated town. He occupied a house on its eastern border, formerly belonging to John Clarke, gentleman, and which
retains the curved and parapetted gables common in domestic architecture at the beginning of the last century. The spot wsa
seems to imply, the learned official lived very much in seclusion.
And Grounds
On Wednesday, 22nd of November, 1854, at
drawing room, twenty-two feet six inches by nineteen feet three inches; five principal sleeping rooms with convenient closets,
dressing room, and private sitting room; three attics; kitchen, laundry, washhouse, store room, wine and ale cellars and other
suitable offices; large pleasure garden and grounds, pleasantly arranged, well screened from the north and planted with thriving
ornamental trees and evergreens; also a gardener’s cottage; three-stalled stable, chaise house, barn, and other buildings, yards
