Execution of James Ratcliff for Wife Murder at Stockport

The Chester assizes murder case ends with James Ratcliff hanged at the city gaol after his conviction for stabbing his wife. He faced execution with religious observance and a final plea, then died at noon as crowd members cried out. The report also covers the Leicester murder inquiry into Mr Messenger, where evidence remains contested and a verdict of wilful murder against unknown parties is expected. A separate note recounts the sinking of the sloop Good Intent near Grimsby, with two drowned and the captain's young son lost, while the captain and wife were rescued.

Greenwich Railway Toll Talks End In Litigation Drift

At the adjourned Greenwich proprietors meeting at the London tavern, officers heard a report on proposed mileage tolls and land conveyances.
