On the river Darent, about half a mile from
Dartford, a paper-mill, supposed to be the first mill of that
kind in England, was erected in the reign of Elizabeth, by
John Spalman, a person of German extraction, who was
jeweller to the Queen. He received the honour of knight-
hood from King James the First. He also obtained a
patent and an annuity of 2001. from Charles the First, to en-
able him to carry on that manufacture. Paper, however, made
at Hertford, by J. Tate, jun. was used in a book printed in 1593.
At Dartford, in the year 1590, was erected a mill for slitting
bar iron, for the purpose of converting it into wire.

dicted at the last Marsh Assizes for this County, for being con-

Margate, where he was delivered into the custody of Mr.
Stride, an Officer of the Excise, and a party of the Royal
Dragoons, and from thence conveyed under their escort
to Maidstone Gaol for trial at the next Assizes.—He was ap-
prehended at Broadstairs, by an officer of the coast blockade,
in the act of smuggling, for which he was convicted under the
name of Thomas Brown, and sentenced by the Magistrate, the
Rev, W. F. Baylay, to five years' servitude in the navy ; and,
being conveyed on beard the Severn, he was subsequently re-
cognised and identified.—( Kentish Gazette.)
