150 HISTORY OF THE PRINTING PRESS IN DERBYSHIRE. 
or Derby, Nottingham, & Leicester Advertiser, No. 1, being 
dated January 2d, 1792 (not 1791, as stated by Timperley), 
printed by Charles Sambroke Ordoyno, whose printing-office 
was in King Street, Derby. It was supported by what was 
then called “ The Jacobin party,” and advocated revolutionary 
principles in opposition to the Derby Mercury, then, and aiways, 
the staunch upholder of ‘* Church and State.” The publisher, 
however, was a ‘‘ Nottingham man,” a distinction which did 
not serve him in Derby (there never was ‘‘ much friendship lost ” 
between the people of the two towns !), and if he loved republi- 
canism well, he loved ale better, and so his speculation fell 
through. In about three months the Derby Herald disappeared, 
and Ordoyno returned to the occupation of a jobbing printer 
at Nottingham. His end was melancholy ; on November 17th, 
1826, he left his office about ten o’clock at night, wearing 
the paper cap which is the printers’ badge, and carrying with him 
in one hand two jugs for ale, and in the other, money to pay for 
it. Before going many yards from his door, one Wilford, a 
butcher, came hastily out of the public-house, and Ordoyno, going 
as hastily into it, their foreheads met, and the poor printer’s skull 
proved unequal to the match, for he fell insensible and died next 
morning from the effects of a ruptured vessel in the brain. 
Samuel Drewry printed several poll-books, some of which 
are in the Devonshire collection in the Derby Free Library.
