Beschreibung

Published in Shrewsbury, presumably in 1812, this is a seemingly unrecorded account of the trial and execution of John Griffiths in Shrewsbury, for the Murder of William Bailey from Old Park Iron Works near Shifnal, Shropshire. Bailey was found dead at Red Lake in the parish of Wellington, where he had been robbed with his throat cut and multiple skull fractures. Suspicion for the murder immediately fell on Griffiths who was a known felon living close by, and damming evidence against him for the murder was soon found. The 8-page pamphlet was printed and sold in Shrewsbury by M. Waidson, of Doglane. No copies of this work located in any of the main institutional library collections, nor in the Shropshire Archives, a few small holes in the title page, some grubbiness and browning to pages else in good general condition, Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 002464
