WAR AT OLMER.
Lively doings were on the leap to animate Weyburn at Olmer during Easter week.

The Rev.Mr.Hampton-Evey, rector of Barborough, on hearing that Lady Charlotte Eglett was engaged in knocking at the doors of litigation with certain acts that constituted distinct breaches of the law and the peace, and were a violation of the rights of her neighbour, Mr.Gilbert Addicote, might hope that the troublesome parishioner whom he did not often number among his congregation would grant him a term of repose.
Therein he was deceived.

Alterations and enlargements of the church, much required, had necessitated the bricking up of a door regarded by the lady as the private entrance to the Olmer pew.

She sent him notice of her intention to batter at the new brickwork; so there was the prospect of a pew-fight before him.
