The Maryport Advertiser - March 10, 1882

MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN LONDON.    Considerable excitement was created at Finchley,  London, on Saturday, in consequence of the discovery of a body in one of the  woods. It was clear a murder had been committed, for the body, which was that of  a young man, had several terrible wounds, apparently made by a gun or a  pistol.    The police were communicated with, and a thorough  search was made in the wood, but no gun, knife, or pistol was discovered. The  hat of the unfortunate man was found a short distance from the place where the  murder appears to have been committed. ****** DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.    The match manufactory of Mr. P. R. TENNANT,  Clayhills, Aberdeen, was on Monday, together with its machinery and contents,  valued at £2,000, totally destroyed by fire. The damage is stated only to be  partially covered by insurance. ****** ACCIDENT IN THE FOOTBALL FIELD.    On Saturday while the heaton and Church Institute  teams were playing a match at Markland Hill, Chorley New Road, Bolton, Harry  LITTLE, a player, had his collar bone broken. He was running with the ball,  according to Rugby rules, when he was tackled and fell, several players falling  on top of him. He was taken to Dr. SNAPE's surgery, where his injuries were  attended to.    An inquest was held on Monday afternoon at Tiverton  on the body of Mr. WRENBURY who died from injuries received in a football match.  A verdict of accidental death was returned.
