THEFT AT THE CASTLE - Fenian Activists Suspected

The staggering theft committed last week from the castle remains unsolved. The famous Arroyo Drums, won by the local regiment during the Peninsular War went missing whilst the Commanding Officer Lt. Col. Richard Hulme was attending the Yeomanry camp at Penrith.

It is suspected that Irish Fenians are behind the theft. There has been an upsurge in Irish nationalism recently it is felt that the robbery is the first of many designed to embarrass the authorities. It is feared that this evening’s visit by Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman to the city could also become a target for some form of disruption.

Sergeant Smith of the Cumberland Constabulary has been placed in charge of the case. Earlier today he made the following statement, “We regard this as the most serious of crimes and we will be giving the matter our full attention. I am confident that we will retrieve the drums before the regiment holds its annual parade later this month.”
