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...
