Whitby Gazette, 3 June
1898: WHITBY COUNTY
COURT. FRIDAY, MAY 27TH, 1898. The
undisputed cases were disposed of in the morning by the registrar, Mr G
Buchanan, and the following cases came up for hearing before the deputy judge
Charles Thomas. A SHEEP TRANSACTION. R Barker, of Ayton, sued J Farndale,
off Castleton Farm, for money paid for the price of two sheep bought from
the defendant, and which he refused to deliver up. Mr T L Phillips, solicitor,
appeared for the plaintiff, who stated that, hearing the defendant had ten
sheep for sale, he called on his farm on Wednesday, the 2nd
March. He saw the defendant, and went to look at the
sheep where they housed. The defendant asked £5 or 10s each for the sheep, and
plaintiff eventually bargained for £4 for the lot, paid the money there and
then, and left instructions for them to be trucked at Castleton Station on the
Friday following. In accordance with that, plaintiff went to Ingleby station on
Friday afternoon to meet the sheep he had bought. When they were turned out of
the truck there were only eight. Plaintiff went to Castleton the next day to
see defendant, but he was away from home. He, however, saw one of the sheep,
and the other one he could not find. On arriving home that night, he wrote to
defendant and told him that he must send the other two he had purchased, or he
should claim one compensation. Plaintiff particularised the sheep, saying there
were three ewes, full wethers, and three wether hogs. John Robinson, farmer, Castleton, was called
as a witness, and stated that he went and saw Farndale a few days previous to this. When he visited him
he had ten sheep for sale, and he told the plaintiff. In reply to the letter
which the plaintiff wrote, defendant Farndale said he only showed him 9
sheep, and the one that was not sent to the plaintiff said was “good for
nothing.” He, Farndale, only had 9 sheep, and they bargained for eight, the
other one being “dowly” one. Mrs Farndale
defendant’s mother was called for the defence, and stated on the 15th February she went on a visit to Farndale's house,
and was there when plaintiff went to bargain for the sheep. During the whole of
the time of her visit she frequently saw these nine sheep housed on farm,
because when Mr Farndale was away she used to feed
them, and there were never ten in the house. Defendant called another witness,
a lad who had been living with him previously, and after his evidence had been
heard, His Honour gave judgement for the defendant with costs allowed for
three witnesses, being of the opinion that
plaintiff must have been mistaken with the number of the defendant’s stock.

Whitby Gazette, 6 August
1915: BANK ‘HOLIDAY’
AT WHITBY. PATRIOTIC SHOPKEEPERS. The use of the term “holiday” as applied to
Whitby on bank holiday, Monday last, was somewhat of a misnomer. But it should
not have been so. Decidedly not. The Military Authorities having instituted
patriotic demonstrations throughout the Northern Command, the Recruiting Officer
for the Whitby district requested that the tradesmen of Whitby should close
their premises between one and five o’clock on the Monday afternoon last. A
notice to this effect was prominently exhibited on Friday and Saturday last
week, in one of the windows of the Whitby Gazette office, so that all trades
people might read, mark, learn and have ample opportunity to inwardly digest
the appeal, and act in accordance with the invitation. The notice was exhibited
in such a prominent position that it would be very difficult to believe other
than that every tradesman and shop assistant in Whitby was aware of its
contents. The notice read as follows: “The Military Authorities having
instituted patriotic demonstrations throughout the Northern Command, the Recruiting
Officer for the Whitby District requests that the tradesmen of Whitby will close their premises between one and five o’clock on
Monday afternoon next.” What was the result? Unfortunately
it grieves us exceedingly to relate that not a few tradespeople relegated their
patriotism, apparently a negligible quantity, to the background, and persisted
in the worship of Mammon, as against a serious and active patriotism. While
many hundreds of loyal citizens and upholders and defenders of the Empire were
engaged in a recruiting demonstration in the cricket field, by far the larger
proportion of the tradespeople maintained open shop thereby depriving many of
their assistance of evidencing their loyalty and spending a wasted period of
full hours themselves for it is pretty generally
admitted that practically no business was transacted. … in a tool of the
principal streets during the afternoon, the following were noticed as the
patriots who close:...
Baxtergate, etc... Mr J W Farndale, pork
butcher...
