Perth Courier, Friday October 14, 1859
... The first paper issued in Perth was by John Stewart, and it was called the ?i?Independent Examiner?/i? - its politics (as were all Canadian politics of that tiem) was High Tory. It was a small sheet and a half the size of that as which the Courier is now printed. The office was in a small wooden house on the corner of Gore and Herriott streets, about where Mr Ferrier's stone house now stands. The price of it was four dollars a year. ?b?Mr. Stewart, after publishing the paper about three years, and finding it did not pay, sold the establishment to Mr. Tully, and it was removed to an old brick house on Gore street, wher Mr. Allan's (Baker) stone house now stands. Mr. Tully issued, we believe, but three numbers of the paper, and then abandoned it.?/b? It was afterwards taken up by Mr. Cummngs, and removed to a house on Drummond Street, about where mr. Dettrick now resides. After publishing it a while, Mr Cummings also abandoned it, and after a short cessaation, Mr. John Cameron, eldere brother of the Hon. Malcolm Cameron,took hold of it, anad removed it to a stone house on where the present propietor of the Courier now resides.
Mr Cameron changed the name from that of the Independent Examiner to that of the Bathurst Courier, and took the liberal side of politics - so the Courier was first started as a Reform journal, and was the first Reform paper issued North-west of Brockville.To be a Reformer at that time was to be stigmatized as a rebel, but Mr. Cameron kept his little sheet afloat and bravely battlled against the Family Compact for the twin of liberty and the people's rights. For about two years Mr. John Cameron conducted the paper, when he unfortunately died, and Mr. Malcolm Cameron continued its publication for about a year, when he sold the establishment to James Thompson, Esq., the present Sheriff of the United Counties of Lanark & Renfrew. Mr. Thompson remived the establishment to a frame house on Gore street where Mr. T. Brooke's fine stone building now stands. Up to this time and for some years after, the issue of the Courier had been very irregular, owing to the difficulty of getting supplies of paper and ink. There were no railroads in those days, nor steamboats either, and it frequency took a month to six weeks to bring goods from Montreal to Perth, which can now be done in twelve hours. ...
(Research):Notes from Tully file:
?i?Wetheral, Cumberland, England?/i?
Situated in the Eden 4 miles SE of Carlisle there are ruins of a priory or abbey. William Edward Tully was born at Wetherald Abbey, Wetheral, Cumberland, England
William Edward Tully and Olivia Rutledge had three children, William Mary Anne and Hannah. Apparently the estate on which the family lived was to a great extent taken from them as a result of William Tully signing a joint note to help someone. The man could not pay so great-great grandfather lost so much of his property that he sold what was left and came to Canada about 1820. He settled in Perth, Lanark County and in 1845 he died there.
Family lore suggested that the The Duke of Cumberland was born at Wetheral Abbey and that he was related. (No relationship has been found). In the Tully history it is recorded that Annie Young has letters that indicate this relationship.
Research on the title Duke of Cumberland reveal that the title is extinct and that the original holder and the holder under the first revival of the title died without issue. The third reciprient, Erst August, Crown Prince of Hanover, 3rd Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale, the eldest child and only son of George V of Hanover and his wife Marie of Saxe-Altenburg, senior male-line great grandson of George III, was deprived of his British peerage and honours for siding with Germany in WWI.
When King George V died in Paris on 12 June 1878, Prince Ernst August succeeded him as Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale in the Peerage of Great Britain and Earl of Armagh in the Peerage of Ireland. Queen Victoria created him a Knight of the Garter on 1 August 1878.
No current heir has petition for reinstatement of the peerage.

Historical Description
Wetheral, a village and a parish in Cumberland. The village stands on the river Eden, adjacent to the Newcastle and Carlisle railway, 4? miles ESE of Carlisle, enjoys charming environs, has a post, money order, and telegraph office under Carlisle, and a railway station. The parish comprises Cotehill, Cumwhinton, Great Corby, Scotby, and Warwick Bridge. Acreage, 11,331 of land and 158 of water; population of the civil parish, 3272; of the ecclesiastical, with Warwick, 1369. There is a parish council of fifteen members. Corby Castle, originally a castellated edifice, but modernized with a Grecian front, is the seat of the Howards. A Benedictine priory, a cell to St Mary's of York, was founded a little SW of the village in 1088 by Ranulph de Meschines; was given at the dissolution to the Dean and Chapter of Carlisle, and is now represented by a Later English gateway, surmounted by an embattled tower. A railway viaduct of five arches, with roadway 90 feet above the surface of the water, and another bridge of seven arches, and 480 feet in length, span the thickly wooded Eden. Delightful walks lie along the river, above the village, and lead to three caves called Wetheral Safeguards or St Constantine's Cells, cut deeply in a precipice 40 feet above the water, which tradition says were occupied by this saint as a hermitage. A house, called the Folly, stands on a high site a little farther up the river, and commands a superb view. Red freestone and alabaster are worked. The living is a rectory, united with Warwick, in the diocese of Carlisle; net value, ?285 with residence. Patrons, the Dean and Chapter. The church, originally Norman, is now chiefly in the Perpendicular style, consisting of chancel, rebuilt in 1872, nave, N and S aisles, and tower. The nave was restored and the tower rebuilt in 1882.

--------------------------------
Wetheral is a village, civil parish and electoral ward in Cumbria, England near Carlisle.
Wetheral stands high on a bank overlooking a gorge in the River Eden. Parts of the riverbank here are surrounded by ancient woodlands, including Wetheral Woods, owned by the National Trust. Formerly a small ferryboat operated to the village of Great Corby on the opposite bank, and an iron ring can still be found attached to the rocks on the Great Corby side of the river where the ferry would tie up.
The Newcastle to Carlisle Railway has a station here at the west end of Corby Bridge (popularly known as 'Wetheral Viaduct') over the Eden which acts also as a footbridge connecting with Great Corby. The station was closed during the Beeching cuts in 1967, but was reopened in 1981. In 1836 one of the very earliest railway accidents happened close to Wetheral station.
In the Middle Ages there was a priory at Wetheral. All that is left now is the gatehouse, which is in the care of English Heritage, and some low ruined walls behind the farm buildings that now occupy the site.
At the historic core of the village lies the village green, in one corner of which stands Wetheral Cross. The cross previously stood in the centre of the green before it was moved. The green is surrounded by large period houses in different styles.
Wetheral Parish Church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and St Constantine. St Constantine was said to be a Scottish king who relinquished his throne to become a monk. Legend has it that he lived as a hermit in a cave at Wetheral.

Occupation:
?i?from Everyday Life in Early Perth
?/i?"In 1823 John Stewart (1788-1881) educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and founder* of Perth's first newspaper, the Independent Examiner, was appointed teacher at the grammar school. An old stone school-house stood on the southeast side of D'Arcy between Gore and Wilson Streets from 1834 to 1846.
Some of Perth's social elite would never be comfortable with a common school, so several small private schools (some were called dame schools) were run in town up to the late 1830s... Male private school teachers included Dawson Kerr, and Messrs. Hudson and Tully.
*The Perth ?i?Independent Examiner?/i? was established by William Tully and sold to John Stewart after a year (1823).

A Quarter of a Century
The present number commences the twenty-sixth volume of the ?i?Courier?/i? - it is therfore twenty-five years, or a quarter of a century, since this journal was first started in Perth. The first paper issued in Perth was by John Stewart, and it was called the ?i?Independent Examiner?/i? - its politics (as were all Canadian politics at that time) was high Tory. It was a small sheet not half the size of that on which the ?i?Courier?/i? is now printed. The office was in a small wooden house on the corner of Gore and Herriott streets, about where Mr. Ferrier's stone house now stands. The price of it was four dollars a year. Mr Stewart, after publishing the paper about three years, and finding it did not pay, sold the establishment to Mr. Tully, and it was removed to an old brick house on Gore streeet, where Mr. Allan's (Baker) stone house now stands. Mr. Tully issued, we believe, but three numbers of the paper, and then abandoned it. It was afterwards taken up by Mr. Cummings, and removed to a house on Drummond Street, about where Mr. Dettrick now resides. After publishing it a while, Mr. Cummings also abandoned it, and after a short cessation, Mr. John Cameron, elder brother of the Hon. Malcolm Cameron, took hold of it, and removed the office to the stone house on Drummond Street, where the present proprietor of the ?i?Courier?/i? (Charles Rice) now resides. Mr. Cameron changed the name from that of the ?i?Independent Examiner?/i? to that of the ?i?Bathurst Courier?/i?, and took the liberal side of politics - so that the Courier ws first started as a Reform journal, and was the first Reform paper issued North-west of Brockville. To be a Reformer at that time was to be stigmatised as a rebel, but Mr. Cameron kept his little sheet afloat and bravely battled against the Family Compact for the cause of liberty and the people's rights. For about two years Mr. John Cameron conducted the paper, when he unfortunately died, and Mr. Malcolm Cameron continued its publication for about a year, when he sold the establishment to James Thompson, Esq., the present Sheriff of the United Counties of Lanark & Renfrew. Mr. Thompson removed the establishment to a frame house on Gore Street where Mr. T. Brooke's fine stone building now stands.
Up to this time and for some years after, the issue of the ?i?Courier?/i? had been very irregular, owing to the difficulty of getting supplies of paper and ink. There were no railroads in those days, nor steamboats either, and it frequently took a month or six weeks to bring goods from Montreal to Perth, which can now be done in twelve hours. The greater part of the goods for this part of the country were brought from Montreal in the winter season on "Canadian trains," and we dare say many of the inhabitants on the second line of Drummond will recollect the long strings of these "trains" proceeding to Perth towards the end of winter, loaded with goods for the merchants. These "trains", however, are an institution of the past - they have served their purpose, and the "iron horse" now monopolizes a traffic which was once peculiarly their own. They were useful in their day but their "occupation's gone", never to return, at least in this section of the country. And with them have gone a large number of the "old settlers," who braved the hardships of a pioneer life, and who are now mouldering in the quiet churchyard - peace be with their ashes. But to return to the ?i?Courier?/i?.
After continuing for some two or three years in the stone house on Gore Street, Mr. Thompson removed the office to the house on Drummond Street, at the south end of the bridge. It was there that the present proprietor of the ?i?Courier ?/i?commenced his apprenticeship at the art of typesetting. The establishment was again removed to the stone house on Gore street, where it now is, which was then the property of William Likely, and the only stone house on the Island - what a contrast a few years have made in this portion of the town - not a vacant building lot can now be procured where what was then an unoccupied common, the property of the Tay Navigation Company. After about three years, Mr. Thompson purchased from Mr. F. Holliday the property where he now resides, and removed the ?i?Courier?/i? office the side of popular rights and popular liberty, thither. About a year after this removal, Mr. Thompson commenced the styd of the law in the office of W.O. Buell, Esq., and took the present proprietor into partnership, and the paper was published by the firm of "Thompson & Rice", which continued for a little over five years. At the end of that time (1852) Mr. Thompson received from the Hincks Administration the appointment of Sheriff, a situation which his eertions in the cause of Reform fully entitled him to, and an office which he has since filled with credit to himself and satisfaction to all those who have had dealings with him. Mr. Thompson, on receiving the Sheriffship, sold the ?i?Courier?/i? to the present proprietor, in whose hands it still remains.
The old press on which the Courier was first printed, and which is now replaced by a power press, was of peculiar construction, we think a French invention - it was destroyed by fire a few years ago in an outbuilding in which it was stored. It was not much worth as a printing machine, but as a relic of the past, and as a momento of the first paper ever published in Perth, it is to be regretted that it was not taken in charge by the Town Council and preserved as a relic of antiquity. A century after this it would have been a rare relic of days gone by. The Courier has now attained a respectable age. It has grown with the growth of the place and strengthened with its strength - and its history is a sort of counterpart of that of the people of this section of the country. It has ever been arrayed on and unflinchingly opposed to tyranny, and misrule, and corruption, in those occupying the position of rulers of the people. What it has been it will continue to be - the staunch and unflinching advocate of sound Reform principles. In closing, we return our sincere thans to those who, by their generous support, have enabled the Courier to see the close of the first quarter of a century of its existence, not knowing whose task it will be to write the next quarter century article, or who among our present readers will have the pleasure of perusing it.
