Sunday Telegram.—­Started May, 1883.

Sunrise.—­Rose Nov. 18, 1882, at the price of one-halfpenny, and lasted a few weeks only.

Tattler.—­April 1817 saw the first appearance of this tittle-tattle-tale-telling monthly tease to all lovers of theatrical order, and August saw the last.

Theatrical Argus.—­Of May and following months of 1830.  A two-penny-worth of hotch-potch, principally scandal.

Theatrical John Bull.—­Published in May, 1824, lasting for the season only.

Theatrical Note Book.—­Rival to above in June, 1824, and going off the stage same time.

Town Crier.—­This respectable specimen of a local comic appeared first in September, 1861, and it deserves a long life, if only for keeping clear of scandal and scurrility.

Warwick and Staffordshire Journal.—­Though printed here, the town was not thought capable of filling its columns; a little experience showed the two counties to be as bad, and subscribers were tempted to buy by the issue of an Illustrated Bible and Prayer Book sent out in parts with the paper.  The first No. was that of Aug. 20, 1737, and it continued till the end of Revelations, a large number of copperplate engravings being given with the Bible, though the price of the paper was but 2d.

Weekly Mercury.—­Commenced November, 1884.

Weekly News.—­A weak attempt at a weekly paper, lasted from May to September, 1882.

Newsrooms.—­The first to open a newsroom were Messrs. Thomson and Wrightson, booksellers, who on Aug. 22, 1807, admitted the public to its tables.  In 1825 a handsome newsroom was erected in Bennett’s Hill, the site of which was sold in 1858 for the County Court, previous to its removal to Waterloo Street.

New Street once called “Beast Market.” was in Hutton’s time approached from High Street through an archway, the rooms over being in his occupation.  In 1817 there were several walled-in gardens on the Bennett’s Hill side of the street, and it is on record that one house at least was let at the low rent of 5s. 6d. per week.  The old “Grapes” public-house was pulled down just after the Queen’s visit, being the last of the houses removed on account of the railway station.  Though it has long been the principal business street of the town, New street was at one time devoted to the ignoble purposes of a beast market, and where the fair ladies of to-day lightly tread the flags when on shopping bent, the swine did wait the butcher’s knife.  New Street is 561 yards in length; between Temple Street and Bennett’s Hill it is 46-1/2 feet wide, and near Worcester Street 65 ft. 4 in. wide.
