    BILLINGE - Found Drowned
    Last Monday Mr Driffield held an inquest at the Unicorn Inn, Billinge, on the body of James Unsworth, an old man of weak intellect, who was found drowned in the Mill Moor dam, Winstanley, on Saturday. The deceased, who was known to be very eccentric, left home of the 9th inst., about eight o'clock, the weather being then very tempestuous, with thunder and lightning. He got to the house of a gamekeeper in a wild spot in Winstanley, and was asked to stay, but refused. It was noticed that he was in a lower state of mind than usual, and he stated that a brother of his, who it seems drowned himself 30 years ago, was watching him. At midnight the old man was seen by a gamekeeper, named Downham, on the Winstanley road, going in the direction of the dam, and he was not again seen alive. He was searched for, but no tidings of him could be found till Saturday last, when a young man named Daniels saw the body floating in the water of the dam in question and had it taken out - The jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned."
