Echo (London): Friday 16th December 1892

Mr. Sidney H. Preston, writing upon a strange piece of good fortune which has befallen a Lambeth pauper named Sheridan, says that £19,000 has been paid out of the state of Mrs. Helen Blake, of which £1,000 went to Mr. Gladstone. If testators frequently leave legacies to statesmen, the world seldom hears of it. The most notable instance, perhaps, was that of Sir Thomas Pynsent (sic) a Somersetshire baronet, who left the Earl of Chatham an estate in gratitude of his opposition to a tax of cider. A tower was erected to his memory at Burton Pynsent, which overlooks Sedgmoor.

Local News: On Monday a man named Hunt was taken to Newton Cottage Hospital for the purpose of having his arm amputated. He had suffered considerable pain for two or three weeks from blood poisoning, and the two or three medical gentlemen that had attended him saw that the only chance of saving his life was to amputate the arm, hence his removal to the Cottage Hospital. Death, however, terminated his sufferings before the operation was performed. He was a steady, industrious man, and had been for some years in the employ of Pinsent and Son to deliver coals. He leaves a widow and three young children.
