Sorry it's been a while; here are two notices which I think may be of interest:
Liverpool Mercury
div>
The first, as far as I can tell is about a group of Street Lamp Lighters who arrived in Leeds claiming that they were from Liverpool (and probably well thought of there). When this notice reaches Liverpool the Mercury doesn't know a thing about these Lighters. Probably means that they were con-men who duped an entire city into believing they were something they are not!
The second one is quite nice incedentally, gives a rather nice impression of Liverpool at this period.
