Mr. Pretor thinks it highly proper, if not necessary, to inform his friends and the public that he has declined his trade as a GROCER, at the upper end of the Shambles, in favour of JOHN and WILLIAM ENSOR, the latter of whom served his apprenticeship in London, and resided in that city the last ten years. Mr. Pretor begs leave to recommend them to the favour of his friends and customers, believing they are every way well qualified to serve them on as good terms as he himself has done.
- Mr Pretor takes this opportunity to return his most sincere thanks for the favours he has received for so many years past, and will think himself particularly obliged to such of his customers as will continue their favours to his successors, whom he verily believes will exert their best endeavours to give satisfaction.
As Messrs. Ensors have retained Mr. Pretor’s late shopman, Robert Gumbleton, in their service, he will be much obliged to such of his customers as can make it convenient to settle their accounts with him, or with Daniel Penny, at the Bank, who are duly authorised to give discharges in his name.

Account of the inquest into death of Henry Gumbleton who drowned at Waterbeach (March 29th)

Melancholy Case of Drowning - On Saturday last, F Barlow, esq, coroner, presided at an inquest at the Green Man, Waterbeach, to investigate the circumstances attending the death of Mr Henry Gumbleton, boot-maker, Market Street, Cambridge. The brother of hte deceased, Mr John Thomas Gumbleton said his brother left Cambridge on Good Friday in his ususal health, and he did not know him to be subject to fits. He was 28 years of age. The next witness called was Jonathan Day, the keeper of what are generally known as the Bottisham Locks, who deposed to witnessing the death of deceased under the following distressing circumstances:- he said that between 4 and 5 o’clock on Good Friday afternoon, hte deceased went down the river in a canoe alone. The stream at that time was more than usually high, and the sluice ates were all up; consequently, there was a strong current running. The deceased came alongside witness’s boat, which was lying against the waterfall. Witness went to him, and with the permission of deceased emptied the water out of the canoe. Presently, deceased said he must return, and made as for getting into the frail craft. Witness told him he must not get in there. for the stream would take him throught the flood gates. Deceased, however, said he should not go through.Witness thereupon wished to pull him up the side a little; bvut deceased said “let go of the boat”. Witness would not, and then he said decease “snapped at him” several times, saying “let go of the boat, fellow”. At last, though reluctantly, witness did let go and immediately the water drew the canoe to the floodgates and the boat was upset. The body of deceased was driven through the opening and his arms got wedged between the boat and the posts, so that he had his face under water, although the top part of his head was just above it. The witness, two watermen and others tried to get deceased up, but were unsuccessful. Witness’s two sons also went down and held deceased up by the hair of his head as long as they could, but they could not clear his mouth. It was something like half an hour before deceased was got out, and he was then quite dead. The Jury returned a verdict of “accidentally drowned”.

On May 20th, the death occurred of Mrs Elizabeth Gumbleton, of Penycaemawr, at the advanced age of 85 years. Deceased was one of the oldest inhabitants. By her death the neighbours throughout a wide area have lost a true and helpful friend. She had lived in the district for 60 years, and was one of the first members of the Wesleyan cause at Penycaemawr, her husband, who predeceased her 30 years ago, being one of the Early Local Preachers, and a chief support of the Church. In her earlier days, Mrs Gumbleton rendered much useful service as a midwife in a district, which in those days, was almost inaccessible. She leaves three sons and three daughters to mourn their loss, and the sympathy of the district goes out to them in their bereavement.

There was a large attendance at the funeral on the following Sunday. The body was laid in the Wesleyan Church the preceding evening, and on the Sunday afternoon Rev. J. Burge of Caldicot conducted a service, when the sacred edifice failed to accommodate all the sympathising friends who wished to pay their last tribute of respect. Deceased's favourite hymns — "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds", and "O for a heart to praise my God".

Major Charles Gumbleton

Major Chas. Gumbleton, all through his Salvation career, was a very earnest soul-seeker. His zeal and his methods made him an outstanding character from his earliest days. He continued his warfare until he was summoned Home to Heaven, being engaged in a strenuaous campaign at Ballymena, Ireland, when he suddenly passsed away.

Like many another successful man the Major started with very little capital in the way of talent and ability. He was so unpromising that his first application for officership was rejected. He had also an impediment in his speech. But the young salvationist was so sure of his call to this work that when he removed to Weston-super-Mare he made further application. In the matter of his speech he believed that God who had chosen him would make him ready, so he went into a wood to pray for deliverance. After some hours he left the wood freed from his disability, which never returned.

After eleven weeks of training, during which time he was a member of a brigade which campaigned in various parts of the country under the direction of "Miss Eva" Booth, he received his first appointment, in 1896, to Hednesford. He subsequently commanded Corps in Birmingham, South Yorks, Notts and Derby, and Liverpool Divisions.

After his marriage in 1909, to ensign Nicholls, he held further appointments in Sheffield, Kirkcaldy and Swansea.

Even as a Captain his comrade Officers and Soldiers were impressed by his humble spirit and his zeal for souls. He used often to spend all night in prayer for the salvation of the people among whom he lived and worked. Sometimes he would go out into the fields on a summer night and pass the time in communion with God there.

He had such great power in prayer that wicked men have been known to run from him in fear, though often they would return to pray. His first Lieutenant still cherishes the memory of his gracious influence.

Major Gumbleton used to take a blackboard to the Open-Air Meetings in order to illustrate his talks the more powerfully, and his drawings and cartoons were a striking feature of such meetings. Promotion and advancement never attracted him, his heart was so full of love for his work.

His zeal was unflagging, and even in his later years his wife was often wakened in the night by hearing his earnestly pleading with God for the salvation of the unsaved.

Following his Corps commands the Major was appointed to the Welsh National Headquarters as a Spiritual Special, conducting numerous campaigns throughout the Principality and in many parts of the British Isles.

His influence upon the officers with whom he came into contact during these campaigns is indicated by a letter received by the British Commissioner a few days before the Major's promotion:

"Not only has the visit made a lasting impression upon the town, but the Major's methods during visitation have been a lesson to us. He showed how visitation can be a most effective weapon of salvation warfare. Tears came to the eyes of many as he reasoned with them. After witnessing the Major's methods and coming under the influence of his beautiful spirit both in the meetings and in the home, we cease to wonder why the Army made such rapid strides in its early days. Such men as he were bound to win souls."

At Ballymena, where he conducted his last campaign, he had the joy of seeing twenty-eight seekers at the Mercy Seat in three nights.

People of the district were much moved by the Major's Home Call. His last hours on earth were spent in door to door visitation and in the last house at which he called he read St John's Gospel iv 32-34 and then sank on his knees and sang:
  Till then I will Thy love proclaim
  With every fleeting breath
  And may the music of Thy name
  Refresh my soul in death.
A few minutes later, in the Officers' Quarters, he passed triumphantly into the presence of God.

A lone Salvationist wins through - Mrs Major Gumbleton

Appointed as an officer to the British Field, Mrs Gumbleton commanded several corps prior to her marriage, and with her husband victoriously toiled at Sheffiedl, Kircaldy, Swansea, Llanelly, and in other corps appointments.

When Major Gumbleton was called to undertake special work, his partner resided in Cardiff, quietly ministering in her small field of service, but exercising a beautiful Chrstian influence upon all who knew her. She became known as 'one of God's true Saints'.

Twenty years ago her husband was called to higher service. During the past eight years Mrs Gumbleton had suffered extreme pain borne with a patiencee and radiance only possible to those who, like herself,have found perfect peace, trusting in the everlasting strength of the Lord.

Coroners' Inquests

Yesterday morning an investigation took place at the White Hart, Great Tower Street, before Mr W. Payne, the city coroner, and a respectable jury, into the circumstances connected with the death of Richard Gumbleton, a native of Ireland, aged about 38.

The deceased was observed by John Husker, beadle of The Tower precinct, on Thursday last, about half past two o'clock in the afternoon, sitting by the rails near the tower ditch. He appeared to be stupified with the effects of liquor, and could not give any account of who he was, or where he lived. He was taken to the watch house and laid down on the floor on his back, and there remained until nearly nine o'clock on Friday (Chrismas) morning, when he was taken home to his lodgings. He was then much worse than when he was brought in. It appeared that there was no fire in the place, and the deceased had no covering given him to protect him from the cold.

Mr Hunter, a surgeon, saw the deceased after he had been dead some hours; he was cold and quite stiff. There did not appear to be any marks of violence on his body. He desired his legs and feet to be bared; they were covered with chilblains caused by severe exposure to cold. He believed his death was caused by drinking ardent spirits and exposure to the severity of the weather.

The jury returned the following written verdict:- "it is the opinion of the jury that the death of the deceased was greatly accelerated by being left in an engine house, without covering or fire, from half-past two o'clock in the afternoon until nine o'clock the next morning, owing to the neglect of the officers of the liberty of the Old Tower Without."
