Murder of Joseph
Glendinning
July 13. The body of Joseph Glendinning was found
murdered in his own field, near Workington. He was
seen very near the place, in company of a man at present
unknown, between seven and eight o'clock in the morning, and
was found dead between two and three in the afternoon; and
from every circumstance it appears that the murder must have
been committed within a few minutes after he was seen with
the said unknown person. A more cruel and barbarous murder
has not been heard of in any country. He had five wounds in
the breast and ribs, eleven in the belly, twelve in the
neck, and one in the right leg.
