At that time, a party of Rifles were quartered in [[Post Office Passage|Post-office passage]], and as their duty was to assist the blockade, they, on this particular night were called out to prevent what was believed to be a contemplated run of contraband. The Government detectives were assisted in their object by the light of a full moon, and were thus enabled to pounce upon the boat as soon as it struck the beach. A young man named {{Hw|Richard Cobb}} was one of the boatmen, and seeing that the venture was likely to be of a sanguinary nature, he threw himself into the sea with a pair of tubs, the buoyancy of which assisted him to swim towards Hastings, landing ultimately at a convenient spot and getting off unscathed. One of his companions (&quot;Dolly&quot; Mann) was less fortunate, he having been wounded in one arm, after the bullet had passed through the two heads of a tub of spirits. This first shot was quickly followed by others, the blockademen firing almost indiscriminantly at any smuggler who was within range, while the rifles (or as some say, the marines) discharged their weapons in the air. As, however, one of the [[smugglers]] (George Harrod), besides being mortally shot, was found with a bayonet thrust, the soldiers were, perhaps, hardly so considerate as rumour gave them credit for. There were two other fatalities, the one occuring during the night to &quot;Trucks&quot; (William) Cruttenden, and the other, after several weeks suffering to William Nash. Cruttenden's body was found next morning in the New-barn field where the tops of a crop of turnips were pulled or kicked to pieces over a considerable area, thus indicating that the unfortunate man had had a terrible struggle either with his assailants or with death. His age was 25 years, and the interment of his remains took place in the [[All Saints Church|All Saint's]] burial-ground on the 10th of January. The other sufferer (William Nash) was seriously wounded, and was conveyed by some of his comrades to a house near the Fish-ponds.</div></td><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>A boat came ashore at [[Fairlight]], not far from the [[Dripping Well]], with a cargo of tubs, twenty of which, in the bow of the boat, were, by the drawing of lots or some other arrangement to be the property of Ranger and his brothers (an elder and a younger), who were also present.

To the reign of King John&lt;ref&gt;By a law published at Hastings, in 1200, he commanded that all Foreign vessels should strike their topsail to his flag on pain of capture and confiscation.&lt;/ref&gt; Hastings is indebted for chartered privileges. By the charter of Queen Elizabeth the corporation consisted of a mayor, (before called bailiff) recorder, and twelve jurats: the last charter was granted by James II; and the right of election (1698) was in the mayor, jurats, and resident freemen. It dwindled down to what was termed “The Good Old Seventeen.” A copy of the customal written in 1857, was duly returned to Roger de Mortimer, Lord Warden, pursuant to his mandate. The original, after some years absence, has been returned to the Corporation, and is again among the town records. The Municipal Act has, however, affected an entire change in the Local Government; and the Borough is now under the control of the Town Council, which consists of a Mayor, six Aldermen, and eighteen Common Councilmen. One-third of the Common Council go out{{Page|1|19}}of office annually in rotation, and are elected on the first of November by the Burgess, (rate payers of three years standing.) The Mayor is elected annually on the ninth of November, and two Aldermen every three years, by the Council.</div></td></tr> <!-- diff cache key wiki-mw:diff::1.12:old-113570:rev-129565 --> </table> Sat, 09 May 2026 13:52:14 GMT RoyPenfold https://historymap.info/Talk:Osborne%27s_Stranger%27s_Guide_to_Hastings https://historymap.info/index.php?title=Hastings_Mayors&diff=129564&oldid=129002 https://historymap.info/index.php?title=Hastings_Mayors&diff=129564&oldid=129002 <p>Text replacement - &quot;Baron of the Cinque Ports&quot; to &quot;<a href="/Baron_of_the_Cinque_Ports" title="Baron of the Cinque Ports">Baron of the Cinque Ports</a>&quot;</p> <table class="diff diff-contentalign-left diff-editfont-monospace" data-mw="interface"> <col class="diff-marker" /> <col class="diff-content" /> <col class="diff-marker" /> <col class="diff-content" /> <tr class="diff-title" lang="en-GB"> <td colspan="2" style="background-color: #fff; color: #202122; text-align: center;">← Older revision</td> <td colspan="2" style="background-color: #fff; color: #202122; text-align: center;">Revision as of 13:52, 9 May 2026</td> </tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-lineno" id="mw-diff-left-l196" >Line 196:</td> <td colspan="2" class="diff-lineno">Line 196:</td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>===20th Century===</div></td><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>===20th Century===</div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>* 1900.
