This page contains extracts relating to the name LONGMORE which can be found in the pages of various British & Irish newspapers between the dates given. I've endeavoured to leave out news items that are merely quotations from other sources, such as the London Gazette. I've also left out items where someone called Longmore was merely the overseer in some capacity, such as a coroner. This is just a snapshot of the many newspapers that have been archived and is by no means to be regarded as a complete extraction of what is available.

The poor man was so severely injured that, although medical assistance was immediately procured, he died in a short time. The deceased received an injury, some time ago, from the animal that caused his death, but would allow no one else to interfere with him, as he believed himself alone capable of controlling his restive disposition. The poor man had been upwards of thirty years in the employment of Messrs Blaikie and Sons, and has always borne an excellent character.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT-OAR RACE - On Saturday afternoon the great amd exciting contest between the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge was decided by an eight-oar race over the usual course from Putney Bridge to the well-known Ship Tavern at Mortlake - a distance of somewhat more than four miles. It is very nearly two years and a half since "Father Thames" was enlivened by a similar match, on which occasion the Oxonians were victorious through a foul on the part of their adversaries. Long before the time appointed, the whole course of the river to Puney was alive with bustle and excitement. Twlve steamers were chartered to accompany the race, but a vast number of persons were disappointed in obtaining places. Two boats were especially conspicuous, being crowded to excess with the members of either University, who sported their usual colours - dark blue for Oxford, light blue for Cambridge. Many of the London clubs turned out in their cutters; amongst others the Leander and the Westminster Eight. There were a few pair-oars and scullers.The different bridges and the banks were crowded with carriages, equestrians and foot people. There were a good many of the fair sex also on horseback. During the race a number of horsemen, who attempted to keep up with the racing boats at full speed, were the cause of some excitement. The tide, which was unusually high, had overflowed the bank upon the Surrey side at Putney, and several persons were precipitated into the water, both man and horse; fortunately no serious consequence ensued. About twenty minutes after one o'clock the Oxford crew rowed away from Searle's Yard, at Putney, and were followed shortly by the Cantabs on the Surrey. At a quarter to two the rival boats took their respective situations, the Oxford being on the Middlesex side, the Cantabs on the Surrey. The two crews, who were most vociferously cheered, were composed of the following gentlemen:- OXFORD 1. Prescott, Brasemose 2. Greenhall, ditto 3. Nind, Christ Church 4. Buller, Balliol 5. Denne, University 6. Houghton, Brasenose 7. King, Pembroke 8. Chitty, Balliol (stroke) Cotton, Christ Church (coxs) CAMBRIDGE 1. M'Naughten, Trinity 2. Brandt, ditto 3. Tuckey, St Johns 4. Ford, Trinity 5. Hawley, Sidney 6. Longmore, ditto 7. Norris, Trinity 8. Johnstone, Trinity (stroke) Crosse, Caius (coxs) Mr C. Selwyn officiated as umpire, and Mr E. Searle undertook to start them, which he effected at about ten minutes to two o'clock. The race may be described in a few words. Both crews started at an astonishing pace for some hundred yards, when the Oxford obtained a slight advantage, which they gradually improved upon. At this point the Cantabs, under the guidance of Robert Coombes, the champion, kept to the Surrey side, whilst the Oxonians steered up the middle of the river. On nearing Hammersmith Bridge, the Cambridge, putting on a spurt, appeared to lessen the distance between, and their partisans asserted that they would come out level from their plan of steering. At Chiswick Eyot, however, the Oxford had increased their lead, in despite of the most strenuous exertions of their opponents. All efforts after this were fruitless, for the Oxford coxswain, taking off his cap, cheered on his crew and steered them to victory, which they gained by about six boats' lengths amidst the deafening cheers of thousands. The boats were both built by Messrs. Searles for this occasion; the Oxford one being sixty-three feet in length, the Cambridge sixty-two. Several boats were upset by the swell from the steamers, and amongst others the Leander. The parties, however, fortunately met with no accident beyond the ducking. The Oxford and Cambridge crews dined together as usual after the race, at the Albion, Aldersgate Street.

THE BIRMINGHAM RING - DOBSON AND LONGMORE - Lawrence Dobson, of Walsall, and Longmore, of Wednesbury, fought, catch-weight, for #10 a side, at Parferry Greem, near the former place, on Monday last - Dobby being seconded by Fleming and Newey, while his adversary was waited upon by Tiney and Richards. Longmore was a two stone bigger man than Dobson, and was also the longest of the reach. With these advantages, however, he was exceedingly slow; while, on the other hand, the Walsall hero was quick in his exchanges, and quite nimble in making his investments and retiring without any adequate return of punishment. Thirty-three rounds were fought, occupying one hour and a quarter, when Dobson, who had gained the first two events, was also declared the winner of the battle - his opponent giving in dead beat. Dobson received the stakes the same evening, at George Holden's, at Walsall.

THE WAR - On Friday I dined with poor Captain Longmore of the 8th Royal Irish Hussars. He was seized with illnes (the cholera) on Saturday. at eight o'clock on Sunday morning he died on board the Himalaya, and at eleven o'clock I witnessed his remains interred on shore, in a rough coffin hastily made on board ship, and laid to rest on a ridge of land overlooking the bay, where frequent wooden crosses mark the graves of the French sailors who perished of the cholera. He was an excellent officer, and Lord Cardigan spoke highly of his conduct when commanding the 8th in his recent reconnaissance to the Danube.

Mr Male stated that on the day named the defendant exposed for sale at the wake gingerbread, nuts, sweets, &c., and effected several sales. The Magistrates asked if the defendant had ever been cautioned. Mr Male said that Longmore had a stall at Water Orton Wake on Sunday last year, and that he then cautioned him. The Magistrates said the defendant had violated the law, and had acted in defiance of the inspector's caution; they should therefore convict him in the full penalty the law allowed, namely, 5s. and costs, amounting altogether to 21s. 4d., to be paid in a week. In default, a distress warrant would issue.

£500 DAMAGES AGAINST THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY - Mrs Sarah Longmore, on Monday, at the Stafford Assizes, before Mr Justice Keating, recovered £500 damages from the Great Western Railway Company, as damages for the death of her husband, Francis Longmore, under the following circumstances:- Deceased was a butty collier,aged fifty-nine. On Saturday evening, the 17th January, deceased went to the Swan Village Station, on the defendant's railway, to go by the 9.55 trainto Wednesbury. While crossing the wooden bridge which connects the tickey-office side of the station with the side from which the train to Wednesbury started, he slipped, fell through the side of the bridge, which was unprovided with hand-rails or other safeguards, and broke his neck. Deceased left a widow and 13 children, six of whom were unable to earn their own living. Leave was given to Mr Cooke to set aside the verdict on the ground, as in the case of Bolsh v. Smith, that the company were not liable, and also that the deceased by his want of care contributed to his own death.

DAMAGES FOR THE LOSS OF A HUSBAND - At the Staffordshire Assizes, in action, "Longmore v. the Great Western Railway Company" was brought to recover damages and compensation for the loss of the plaintiff's husband, which was alleged in the declaration to have been caused by the negligence of the defendants. The case was heard by a special jury. Mr Huddlestone appealed for the plaintiff, the widow of a chartermaster at Wednesbury. The action was brought under Lord Campbell's Act. The deceased was working the Black Lake Pit, belonging to Messrs. Whitehead and Kendrick. He was a man of about fifty-nine years of age, who had had sixteen children, of whom thirteen were living, six of them being unable to earn their own subsistence, and dependent upon their father for support. The evidence showed that the deceased, on the 7th January last, left one of the pits in the afternoon to go to Swan Village to see a gentleman. Having transacted his business, he left the Nags Head Innwith the intention of going from Swan Village on the railway to Wednesbury. Giving a person named Davis the money to get the ticket, he proceeded to cross the wooden bridge to the other side of the line. The bridge had one long flight of steps, and then a shorter flight to the top of the bridge. The shorter portion had no hand-rail, and there is an aperture of 7ft 3ins length by 4ft 2in in height. Longmore went up the first flight of steps in safety, and whilst going up the short one his foot slipped, he fell through the aperture to the ground, and injured his neck. He was picked up and carried home, where he died on the following day. At the time of the accident the deceased was perfectly sober. Mr Cooke, for the company, contended that as the bridge in question was one the company was not bound to maintain, they were not liable. The learned Judge said he would not stop the case on that point, but would make a note of it; at the same time he gave permission to the defendants to move for a nonsuit upon this fact, and the additional one as to whether the plaintiff did not contribute to the accident. Witnesses were not called for the defence. The jury found for the plaintiff, £500 - £300 for the widow, and the remainder to be divided among the children of the deceased.
