Miscellaneous Tokens and Checks, Co ARMAGH, Loughgall, [The Rock] Coffee Tavern [Mrs Cecilia Cope], copper Penny, 29mm (Owens –; Woodside AR 24, this piece). Obverse very fine, reverse fine, extremely rare £90-£120 --- Provenance: Bt A. Cunningham 2000. Of late Georgian construction, the Rock Tavern began life as a spirit grocery and hotel run by John Hyde Cardwell. The Cardwells left Loughgall possibly as a result of their liquor licence being bought up by a Mrs   Cecilia Cope who, like many ladies in Victorian times, was a fervent advocate of temperance. She bought up the licences of all the publicans in the village and instead offered an alternative, the Rock Coffee Tavern, a report of the opening of which appeared in the Belfast News Letter of July 1879. It described the facility as ‘a most comfortable and suitable building...there is a good reading room which is amply supplied with daily, weekly, and temperance newspapers, periodicals, etc. The coffee room is large and airy and fitted with marble tables and comfortably seated stalls. A commodious kitchen, with glass doors, opens into the coffee room...refreshments all of which are sold at prices scarcely sufficient to cover their cost.’ An advertisement for a manager in the same publication in 1892 is of interest as it reflects the recruitment policy of the time: ‘Man and wife wanted to manage a Coffee Tavern in a village (without children preferred) total abstainers and Protestants’

Giovanni Kalabergo arrived in Banbury from Italy in around 1810 and later anglicised his name to John. He was, in 1851, also joined by his nephew who shared his name but took to calling himself William. Unfortunately William did not take kindly to his uncle's demanding demeaner and he sought to address the problem by hatching a plan to murder him and inherit his property. In January 1852 William bought himself a gun and joined his uncle on a normal work-related trip out of town. Whilst descending d Williamscot Hill William drew the gun and shot his uncle. On returning to Banbury he reported to the Police that they had been set-upon by bandits and that his uncle resisted (allowing William to escape) but had been shot.On investigation the Police suspected foul play as nothing had been stolen from Giovanni and William was in possession of the murder weapon together with ammunition and a blood-stained rag. William was subsequently trialled and found guilty of his uncle's murder. Whilst in prison awaiting execution he made two attempts to escape; the infamy of his trial was reported throughout the country and resulted in around 10,000 people attending his hanging, a folk ballad also records his fate:In Italy I was bred and born,At Oxford town I must die with scorn;For murdering my uncle as you may see,Has brought me to the gallows tree.Condition Report: Tube has been removed but pulley mechanism is present; will require tube, lines and weights/floats. The dial has overall light to moderate oxidation to the silvering otherwise is in good original condition. The thermometer is intact but the glass to the housing is cracked/damaged. The silvering to the thermometer scale has some patchy oxidation. The case is in sound original condition with notable faults limited to bruising to the surface around the lower inlaid rosette, some light lifting to the side veneers and further light bruising/scuffs to the mouldings of the pediment. Faults are otherwise limited to minor bumps and scuff and the rear door is missing two securing screws for the upper hinge. Surface/finish is generally a little flat. Condition Report Disclaimer

The second barometer in the current lot is made to the principles laid down by Nicholas Fortin (1750-1831) and incorporates a glazed cistern so that the level can be calibrated via the adjustment screw to the base against an inverted conical ivory cone in the cistern in order to obtain consistency in the readings.
