"Stephen Polito (also known as Stephano, Stephani and Stephanus Polito; 1763/64–1814) was a menagerie owner of Italian descent in Georgian England.
Polito was born in Moltrasio, Italy. He owned a menagerie which he toured around England in the late 18th century. He went into partnership with another menagerist named Miles in 1798, and "Miles and Polito's Menagerie" exhibited at St Bartholomew's Fair in 1799. Polito's menagerie also attended Nottingham Goose Fair in 1807. ... ...

Early 1908, a notice with similar wording appeared in Saunders's News-Letter on Tuesday 26 January 1808.

Mr Pollito had been in Briston in September 1807.

The adverts in Saunders News-letter continued until 14th May 1808, At some point between 26th January and 4th March the admission price was reduced to "One British Shilling".

So some time between ~~26th~~ early January and 4th March 1808.

Of course, the Zoo didn’t open until 1831, so these were great novelties

I can't find any rules about attacking the foreman maltster with a shovel. Southern Star (Skibbereen) - Saturday 24 February 1917

BTW Welsh whisky doesn't have an E, whether it's in English like the bottle on my shelf, or in Welsh - wisgi

John Spooner The current P.J. O'Driscoll lives up the road from my parents house. Obviously a name they kept in the family. Every now and again his peacocks would visit our garden and he'd have to come collect them. We still have some tail feathers in a vase in the hall.
