[ London Times ]
This newspaper, most correctly known simply as The Times, began publication in 1785 and continues to this day.
The October 16, 1828 edition of The Times carried the following note in which, yet again, a Newf pulls a corpse from a body of water:
At a late hour on Tuesday night last an inquest was held at the Marquis of Granby, Knightsbridge, before Thomas Higgs, Esq., on the body of a female unknown, aged about 30 years, who was found in the Serpentine. Thomas Bayfield, 2, Lloyd's-place, Brompton, deposed, that on Monday afternoon, he was trying two spaniel dogs to take water in the Serpentine, within 50 yards of the head of the river, when he saw a bonnet floating close to the east end, near the shore. A Newfoundland dog, of witness's jumped in and brought the body to the shore; the water was about ten feet deep. Deceased appeared to have been in it two days. There was no mark of violence upon her.
The young woman was not able to be identified.
