JACK, Sam W.B. Lowther St

Photographers

Samuel’s introduction to photography was through the Carlisle and County Amateur Photographic Society, of which he was secretary for many years. He remained an active member of the society long after he became a professional photographer. An architect by profession, he set up in business as a studio photographer, in about 1905, at the former studio of Alfred Johnston, in Greystone Road. By 1907, under the name of S. and D. Jack, he had moved to 19 Lowther Street. The D. Jack was his brother, David Hay Jack, as confirmed by an entry in Beaty’s directory of Carlisle, 1913/14, which describes the partnership as S.W.B and D.H. Jack. [notes by Mr Moonie]

JACOBITE REBELLION 1745 On 8th November 1745 The Rev George Williamson of Arthuret noted in his diary ‘The Highland Army came to Longtown. The Chevalier at D.Murray’s’. On November 9th he wrote ‘4,000’d pass’d hence and by here for Garishtown, saw the Chevalier who lodged at Moorhouse.’ The Mayor received the following communication from the young Prince. ‘Charles, Prince of Wales, Regent of the Kingdoms of England, Scotland, France and Ireland and the Dominions thereto belonging. Being come to recover the King our Father’s just Rights, for which we are arrived with all his authority, we are sorry to find you should prepare to obstruct our passage. We therefore, to avoid the Effusion of English Blood, hereby require you to open your Gates, and let us enter, as we desire, in a peaceable Manner; which if you do, we shall take Care to preserve you from any Insult, and let an Example to all England of the Exactness with which we intent to fulfil the King our Father’s Declarations and our own; But if you shall refuse our entrance, we are fully resolved to force in by such Means as Providence has put into our hands and then it will not perhaps be in our Power to prevent the dreadful Consequences which usually attend a Town’s being taken by Assault. Consider seriously of this, and let me have your Answer within the space of two hours, for we shall take any farther Delay as a peremptory Refusal, and take our Measures accordingly. November 10th’. Two in the afternoon. Carlisle came under siege from the Jacobite forces under Bonnie Prince Charlie. On 10.11.1745. The Mayor returned no answer but by firing the cannon upon them. The Prince on hearing that General Wade and his forces at Newcastle was crossing to meet him moved east to Brampton. On seeing the Jacobites move off the deputy Mayor Pattinson sent a hasty ill-judged letter to Lord Lonsdale declaring that the city had seen off the Prince ‘We have outdone Edinburgh, nay all Scotland.’. However Wade and his army were unable to cross the country because of bad weather and bad roads so the Prince resumed his siege of the city. By the 15th the besiegers had pushed their trenches within eighty yards of the walls and gave every appearance of being about to assault the city. At this point the militia and citizens sued for peace offering to surrender the city. The Prince insisted that the Castle must surrender at the same time. This was agreed to and the Prince received the Mayor and Corporation at Brampton where they presented him with the keys to the city. On the 18th the Prince made his entry into the city where at the Market Cross his father was proclaimed King of England. The reasons for the surrender of city and Castle are various. There was divided leadership; the Castle, a sadly neglected fortress, garrisoned by 83 invalides was under Colonel Durand. The Cumberland Militia, fatigued by their duty in Carlisle, unpaid and with no prospect of pay, were not very popular in the city and were charged exorbitant prices for food and lodgings. They meant to capitulate, Durand having no authority over them. Nor had Durand any authority over the Mayor and citizens. The obstructive town council refused to demolish outlying houses outside the city walls which gave cover to the Jacobites and obstructed the defenders field of fire. On the 22nd of November the Prince departed south leaving a garrison in the city. On 19th and 20th December the Jacobites retreated through the city leaving a garrison of 400 in city and a further siege by the Duke of Cumberland commenced on 21.12.1745. The Governor of the city was Colonel Francis Townley and the governor of the Castle Captain John Hamilton. Both men resolved to do all in their power to defy the Hanovarians. The Duke of Cumberland now received an offer from the loyal citizens of Whitehaven of 10 eighteen-pounder cannon, twenty barrels of gunpowder and an initial 400 shot - with an unlimited quantity available upon request from a private forge near the town. On the 26th December six of the cannon arrived and these opened fire on the castle on the 28th. The Duke of Cumberland apprehended the poor state of the defences, likening them to a chicken coop. On the 29th firing abated for the want of shot and an order for 2,000 cannon shot was made for the eighteen pounders. On the 30th, with the walls breached, the Jacobites hung out a white flag and on the 31st the Duke entered the city. After the surrender the Jacobite garrison was held as prisoners in the Cathedral which after their evacuation was left in a poor state. A correspondent wrote to Waugh ‘The rebels made a most nasty church which will not be fit for service for a long while’. It was not until the end of February that ‘after much burning of sulphur and tar’ that the Cathedral was in a fit state for worship. Smallpox was rife in the city and between 20th January and 15th June 1746 111 soldiers were recorded as having been buried in the city’s two parishes; service in Carlisle being recorded as ‘worse than Egyptian bondage’. [Mounsey p214] Thomas Wilson wrote to Dr Waugh on 03.04.1746 ‘The small-pox and a fever have swept off a great number of soldiers; both these distempers are at present abated’. On January 10th 1746 the prisoners were removed to Lancaster and Chester. 315 Jacobite prisoners sent to Carlisle for trial in August/ September 1746 to face a charge of treason. There was great congestion in the city with prisoners, guards, judges and witnesses and there was a fear of contagion breaking out in the town. With this in mind it was decided to lot the prisoners out for trial. 180 drew blank lots and were excused trial, as long as they had pleaded guilty. Those lotted out were sent to the plantations in what amounted to slavery, 8 were sick or not indicted for some reason, 1 pleaded peerage, one was given as an ignoramus. 125 stood trial in the old Town Hall. 34 were acquitted, 91 sentenced to death, of whom 31 were executed; nine on Gallows HIll on Saturday October 18th 1746, including Parson Coppock, pretended Bishop of Carlisle who was drawn, hanged and quartered for High Treason and Rebellion. A further 11 on Tuesday November 16 were executed. [Jarvis Carlisle Trials p255] Other Jacobites were executed at Penrith and Brampton. Henry Holsteds, sexton of St Mary’s, was awarded 16 shillings for making16 graves for the rebels who died in Carlisle. A witness of the funeral of Charles Gordon, executed on November 16th, saw him buried in St Cuthbert’s churchyard, Another executed was Sir Archibald Primrose and JW Wright wrote that he attended his burial in St Cuthbert’s churchyard ‘within four yards of the second window from the steeple’. [CN 13.10.2017 2nd section p16] Donald McDonald of Kinlock Moidert was described at his trial as a principal man in the Pretender’s army. He was found guilty ‘after a very long trial of six hours’ Baron Clarke’s notebook] . Defence was often ‘mistaken identity’ or that the man had been ‘forced into the Rebel army’. ‘A little deformed boy’ was acquitted by favour of the King’ Council’. The Sheriff of Cumberland received a warrant from the Secretary of State dated August 22nd 1746 ‘for putting up the heads...on one of the gates of the city of Thomas Chadwick and John Berwick, two of the Carlisle garrison, tried and condemned in London. Christopher Pattinson, the Sheriff, replied that he was unable to do so for although he had received the warrant safely, he had not received the heads. On September 20th he was able to report that he had ‘yesterday received the heads’, which he had caused to be set up on the English Gate of the city [p271] Francis Townley, Colonel of the Manchester Regiment, and Commandant of Carlisle was tried for High Treason in Southwark on June 15th 1746. His head was mounted on the Temple Bar [see engraving by Hogarth]. After the suppression of the Jacobites the King struck a series of medals commemorating William Duke of Cumberland British Hero. The coins read ‘More rebels a coming’, the lettering arching around a gallows; Rebellion justly rewarded at Carlisle December 1746; For my father and country, Carlisle reduced and rebels flew, December 1746’. On April 3rd 1826 Walter Scott, the author, wrote in his journal on his visit to Carlisle, ‘I remember the spikes the heads stood upon’. Scott refers to a line in a poem by David Hume ‘Here Scotsmen’s heads do guard the wall’.

JEFFERSON, S Scotch Street About 1836 Jollie’s bookselling and general printing business was sold to S.Jefferson; in 1838 Jefferson published at his Scotch St premises ‘Jefferson’s History of Carlisle’, in 1840 ‘The History of Leath Ward’ and 1842 ‘The History of Allerdale and Derwent’ CWAAS OS Vol 14 p19. Jefferson distinguished himself as a local historian, and was an industrious and trustworthy gatherer of materials for various works of a similar character. The History of the City of Carlisle was a forerunner of these volumes. In 1840 he issued his History of Leath Ward which contains no less than nine engravings after drawings by Sam Bough, then only 18 years old. To Allerdale Above Derwent, 1842, Bough contributed a plate etched by himself of the Cross in Irton Churchyard. Bough remembered afterwards that Jefferson was the first to pay him money for any of his attempts with a pencil. Bough spoke highly of the industry and perseverance displayed by the bookseller in persecuting his favourite study of local history. In fact Jefferson instead of confining his studies to his leisure hours in the evening allowed them to engross his whole thoughts, soon and late and at all times of the day, almost to wreck his legitimate trade of bookselling [S.Gilpin Life of Sam Bough p 7-8]

JOHN STREET [No 6] CALDEWGATE WORKING MENS READING ROOM Established 1847 (Whellan 1860 p131)

The Chartists had a small room at 6 John Street. Here papers and pamphlets were available for their members. By 1847 the organisation had run its course and was about to be discontinued. In October of that year a meeting was held to consider using the room as a working men’s reading room. This suggestion was adopted and a committee formed and rules adopted which stated that the organisation would be non political and non religious. It was also decreed that no man could hold office unless he was in receipt of a weekly wage for his support. The subscription was to be one penny a week. Membership quickly reached 150. The society flourished then interest waned. The committee sought the help of Dr Elliott and others. Their advice and assistance was accepted without relinquishing their independence. As the numbers increased their room became inadequate. In the summer of 1860 a committee was appointed to look into the cost of building a larger premises. An area of land opposite his factory was donated by J.D.Carr. Plans were adopted and the building was up by the next autumn. Two committees had been formed, a reading room and a temperance committee, and the building was designed to serve both ends. The ground floor was arranged to give a temperance hall, a caretaker’s cottage and a small room to be used as a soup kitchen adjoining. Upstairs was the lecture room, reading room and library well stocked with a variety of books on various topics

CJ 04.10.1895 p7a Letter concerning the poor of Jollie’s buildings. A few days ago in passing through that portion of the town known as Jollies Buildings the faces of some of the poor women appeared to me enough to move a heart of stone. One woman especially, with scarcely any clothing upon her, and a poor puny infant at her breast, was sitting on a doorstep. She fixed upon me a look more like that of a wild animal than a human being

JOLLIE’S LANE Did this Lane become Crown and Anchor Lane? Jollie was a bookseller on Scotch Street who sold out, via Craddock, to Samuel Jefferson. See Jefferson for location of his premises at 34 Scotch Street, immediately north of Crown and Anchor Lane

1829 Directory. Crown and Anchor Inn, John Elliott, Jollie’s Lane. The list of streets put Jollie’s Lane on Scotch Street. Wood’s 1821 map names Jollie’s Lane, and shows it to be in an identical situation to Crown and Anchor Lane on Asquith’s map of 1853
