January 2. — According to the register of St. John's church, in Newcastle, Edward Chicken was buried there, on the above day. He was a member of the incorporated company of weavers, Newcastle ; twenty-five years clerk of St. John's church, in that town ; and author of that very ludicrous and descriptive poem, intitled "The Collier's Wedding." Another piece intitled "No! This is the Truth," is attributed to Mr. Chicken. A new edition of "The Collier's Wedding," with notes, and a memoir of the author, was published by a gentleman of Newcastle, in 1829. [LRS]
