Affray at Grindon Chare, Newcastle
"An affray took place in the Shades public house, Grindon Chare, in Newcastle. A travelling Italian had gone into the house and joined a party who were drinking, when some words took place, which produced a scuffle, and the Italian, being likely to be overpowered, drew his knife and stabbed an Irishman, named Hugh Ross, in the abdomen, He was at once taken to the Infirmary, where he lingered until the 18th. The Italian, Guiseppe Sidoli, was tried at the assizes on the 23rd of the same month, and was sentenced to seven years' transportation for manslaughter." 13th February 1833.

Parish in Focus: Rochester with Byrness
The Civil Parish is the lowest tier of local government and many of the parishes in Northern England have boundaries and interesting histories relating to the ancient townships of long ago. Typically they have an enduring sense of place and community.
Rochester with Byrness Civil Parish is located in Upper Redesdale in Northumberland, bounded to the north by the England-Scotland Border. It is about 34 miles north-west of Newcastle. The River Rede flows south-easterly through the parish. The A68 road transects the parish, roughly following close to the course of the river; there is a stopping place on the A68 at Carter Bar on the border with Scotland. The south of the parish is in the Northumberland National Park; including Bremenium Roman Fort at High Rochester. Whitelee Moor National Nature Reserve is in the north-west of the parish. The largest settlements are the villages of Byrness and Rochester.
