1850
Merlin. 28th February, 1850 Thomas Lightfoot was committed to the next Quarter Sessions on a charge of highway robbery. The particulars of the case are brief, as Ann Davies was walking along the Cardiff Road about 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, her pocket was exposed in consequence of her gown being held up. The prisoner suddenly approached and frightened her with a loud shout in her ear, snatched her pocket and made off with thirteen shillings.
Respectfully begs leave to announce to the gentry of Newport and its
vicinity that she proposes opening her Academy on Thursday next the 14th
inst. at the residence of her brother 139 Commercial Street. She had been
recently and for some time in London where she has had the opportunity
of instruction by the most eminent professors in the National or Quadrille
Polka now universally danced in the highest circles and which is now divested
of some of the foreign peculiarities which were deemed objectionable.
She is fully qualified to give instruction in that fashionable dance.
Terms 1 guinea per quarter or 1 guinea and a half for the Winter Season. [ Back ] |
