Petersfield.
SHOCK OF AN EARTHQUAKE.— Between Petersfield and Godalming on Friday, the 16th instant, at 9.45 p.m., the localities of Rake, Liphook, Bramshott onwards, running north with the Portsmouth and London Roads, and from east to west for a considerable distance, the inhabitants were greatly alarmed by the shock of an earthquake. At the turnpike gate at Rake, Mrs. Goodeave at the time was greatly alarmed, fearing as she said, ‟the tiles were all coming off the house.” The houses between this place and through Liphook and Bramshott were shaken in instances so severely as to impart a panic stricken fear amongst the inhabitants, never before experienced. At the Anchor Inn the glasses were set together jingling and shaking upon the tables, and at the home of Edward Chalcraft, Esq. in the village, and of William Chalcraft, Esq., Bramshott House, the shock was sensibly felt; as also at the Railway Station and the houses of Messrs. Rowland and Futerell. Many living in old houses were very much alarmed. The shock was also felt at Hollywater, Pasfield and Lindford on the west, and on the east at the residence of Mr. Coomb’s, Bridgeland Farm, where the clock was shook from the wall and at Mr. Brewer's at Marsh House, the shock was also severely felt.
