CALDWELL, PARKER, & Co., Iron-Founders, Scotland-Road, Warrington, Lancashire, most respectfully solicit the attention of the Nobility, Gentry, Seedsmen, Gardeners, &c. to the improvement which they have made in the system of Heating Hothouses by Water — system which supersedes all others in producing the most healthy Plants in the shortest time, for which they can produce the most undeniable reference. The improved system prevents the scorching of plants, so common to flues, and keeps the house in one regular temperature, with a saving of fuel and labour ; and the Improvers warrant their system to be superior to any other, and ultimately, far less expensive.

1846 'Death through Fighting — An inquest was held on Wednesday morning before Mr. Hayes, at the Sessions Room, on view of the body of Charles Vickers, a young man of 22 years of age. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was by trade a moulder, and a native of Manchester, where he was very respectably connected. He recently came to work for Messrs. Parker and Caldwell, the Iron Founders, and on Monday evening last he went in company with several of his companions, to the house of Mr. Grainger, the Moulders' Arms, Mersey street, where they met several persons in the employment of Mr. Bateson, Bridge Foundry. Whilst in the house an altercation took place respecting their merits as workmen, and the deceased called one of the persons present a knobstick. This was denied, and eventually Mrs. Grainger prevailed upon them to leave the house. On going out the deceased struck a young man named William Jefferson, who agreed to fight him, and immediately the parties, ten in number, went under a lamp at the Bridge Mill, when Jefferson and deceased commenced fighting. They fought about five rounds with equal advantage, every time each of them was knocked down they were picked up by their respective friends ...... The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of "Manslaughter" against the principal William Jefferson, whereupon he was committed to the ensuing assizes, for trial. The other parties in custody were discharged, as it appeared they endeavoured to stop the fight several times, but the deceased persisted in prolonging it.'
