At the village of Chirton, near North Shields, Mr. Gardiner wrote that severe stricture on the coal trade, entitled "England’s Grievance Discovered, in Relation to the Coal Trade," which was printed in London in 1655. The original copies of this work having become extremely rare, it was reprinted at Newcastle in 1796, by Messrs. Akenheads; this too, has become scarce. [LRS]
