  1. Alternative spelling of Rum-ville
    • 1834, William Harrison Ainsworth, Rookwood[1], volume 3, page 27:
      You have a banker, Ma'am, I suppose in town—perhaps in the country; but I don't like country bankers; besides I want a little ready cash in Rumville—beg pardon, Ma'am, London I mean; but my ears have been so stunned with those Romany patterers, I almost think in flash.
