International Exhibition:
Last week, nearly 200 persons, resident in this village, paid a visit to the International Exhibition. The Vicar, Professor Grote, paid the expense of about 100; Captain Pemberton, of Anstey-hall, paid the cost attending the trip to between 30 and 40 of his tenantry ; the remainder went at their own expense. The total cost was from £40 to £50. While at the Exhibition, and afterwards, an abundance of refreshment was supplied to all the visitors; of the 100 sent by the Vicar, many were women, as well as children, connected with the National school of the village. These were placed under the guidance of Mr. Hyham, the master of the school, who, before proceeding to the Exhibition, gave his party the opportunity of inspecting the Bank of England, St. Paul's Church, and other places of interest in the city. They then proceeded by water to Westminster Bridge, and were shown the Houses of Parliament. The party then walked to the Exhibition, and were well supplied with what they required. The whole party returned home in excellent spirits, and nothing occurred to mar the enjoyments of the day.

WILFUL DAMAGE
Charles Wright, of Fitzroy-street, Cambridge, was charged with wilfully injuring a fence, at Trumpington, the property of Mr. H.W. Pemberton, by pushing through the same, on May 9.
George Barker said: I work at the coprolite pits on Mr. Pemberton's land. I remember the 9th of May. About one o'clock on that day I was walking up the field road, which comes through the plantation leading on to the Trumpington-road. I saw the defendant in Mr. Bland's wheat-field. He ran across after an old hare, and put it up. I saw him come out of the plantation, go into the field, and then go back into the plantation. I next saw the defendant, whom I knew by sight, in a cart on the road.
Edward Lloyd, gamekeeper to Mr. H.W. Pemberton, of Trumpington, said: In consequence of what I was told on the 9th May, I examined the plantation fence against Mr. Bland's wheat field. I found a gap in the fence. I asked the defendant his name. He would not tell it me at first, but afterwards said it was Charles Wright. The other man said his name was Wright. The defendant said he had been down after a hare, which he thought was dead. He said he saw the noticeboards. I estimate the damage at 3d.
The Magistrates inflicted a penalty of 6d. and costs, amounting in all to 18s. 3d.
Cambridge Daily News 4 Jan 1900: The last scene in a long life of much usefulness to the county of Cambridge was enacted at Trumpington when the funeral of Mr Henry Pemberton of Trumpington Hall took place. The villagers unobtrusively gave expression to their heart-felt sympathy. During the time mourners were assembling and during the funeral service the blinds at almost every residence in the village were drawn, the few places of business were closed, and at the corners passed by the cortege there were knots of inhabitants who, with reverently uncovered heads, watched the body on its last journey.
