All care was taken to ensure accuracy, but occasionally it isn’t possible to read the information, due to the quality of the surviving documents. When a best guess was made, this is indicated with a question mark in brackets (?). When one or more characters could not be identified, they are replaced with ‘#’.

at Cowglen. Gordon had been drinking to excess, and had been taken into the stable while in a state of helpless
inebriety, and in about two hours afterwards was found dead. The case has been investigated by the authorities
at Pollokshaws, and reported to the Sheriff.
MAN KILLED – An old man, named William Pewtherer, a mason, belonging to West Calder, who has been for
some time past in a desponding state of mind, left his own house on Sunday, and it would seem that he had,
from some cause or other, wandered upon the line of the Caledonian Railway, on which he was killed, on
Monday, by an engine coming in contact with him near Lanark.
MAN DROWNED – On Wednesday evening, between seven and eight o’clock, the body of a man, attired in the
garb of a seaman, was found on the canal at Port Dundas, opposite Gourlay’s distillery. He had not been above
ten minutes in the water, yet when taken out life was extinct. It is not known how he fell into the canal. The
body has been claimed by its relatives. Deceased was a man named Alexander Smith, master of the sloop Union
of Banff.
MAN KILLED [01] – The large brick building in Lothian Road, in now in course of being removed, in order to
afford more station accommodation for the Caledonian Railway Company, Friday afternoon, part of the roof fell
upon a labourer, named Robert Young, who was employed in taking it down, and we regret to say that such were
the injuries which he received that he died a few minutes adterwards. He has left a widow and three children
totally unprovided for.
DROWNING [02] – On Tuesday forenoon, about eleven o’clock the body of Mr Thomas Brownlee, agent, was
found floating in the Port Eglinton canal, which is in the immediate vicinity of his dwelling house. Deceased, it
appears, had been missing from Monday afternoon at five o’clock, when he had left his family on some
necessary business, and it is conjectured that in endeavouring to find his way home he had stumbled, and fell
into the canal.
ACCIDENT AT THE BROOMIELAW [02] – On Tuesday morning, about half past one o’clock, a workman
named John Norval Barr, accidentally missed his footing while stepping into the steamer Plover, and fell into the
river. Before assistance could be rendered him, the unfortunate man was drowned. Some time after the casualty,
the body of the deceased was got out of the water and conveyed to the Clyde Police Office.
FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT – On Saturday last a young man, about 19 years of age, named David Beggs, an
apprentice engineer on the Nithsdale Railway, went down from Dumfries to Gretna for pleasure; in returning by
the evening train he was sitting upon the tender, and it is supposed had overbalanced himself and fallen upon the
line. The engine-driver missed him and reported this to the station master at Dumfries on the arrival of the train
here; an engine with lights was immediately despatched in search, and the body was found lying on the line
betwixt Mousewald and Ruthwell. His skull had been fractured, apparently by the fall, and the left arm shattered
in consequence of the carriage wheels having passed over it. – Dumfries Courier.

immediately went down in about 16 feet of water. A youth who was close to the pair went down also. Two
