⚫ | *Letter to [[Percy Wilfred Machell|Lt-Col. Machell]] from T. Armstrong, vicar of Brampton: "I hear that a detachment of the Lonsdale Battn. is coming to Brampton on the Hiring Day, [[11 November|Nov 11th]] & will stay overnight in the town. As that night is the rowdiest of the year, with a lot of drinking, & worse – we should be grateful to you if you would kindly see that some officer is sent with them who will be able to exercise a fairly strong control over them. On each hiring day towards the evening may be seen numbers of half-drunken lads and girls & these would be a great temptation to your young men of whom we are justly proud....The hiring practically ends by one o’clock: after that there is much dancing & drinking." <ref>{{lowther|recno=7}}</ref> |
