[ London Times ]
This newspaper, most correctly known simply as The Times, began publication in 1785 and continues to this day.
The April 24, 1867 edition of The Times carried a "public health" notice regarding recent deaths in London and other large British towns. One item, in a paragraph dealing with more miscellaneous causes of mortality, notes what was essentially death by Newfoundland:
At Church-street, on the 9th of April, the daughter of a baker, aged two years, "from the effects of fright, from being knocked down by a Newfoundland dog." (Inquest)
This is not the first such instance of 'death by Newfoundland' that The Times has reported; see this note on a similar incident that transpired in 1785.
