Just had a look at the digital archive and it isnt mentioned, as far as i can see any way. It does mention in the DFHS mag the info orginally came from illustrated london news. Any one ever heard of it?

that happened in my family in the 1800s and Merry kindly found the details for me in The Times and I bought the Paper to keep with my papers for them , fascinating reading it even mentioned the Judge who turned out to be a famous Bankruptcy Judge and I got a copy of a painting of him too.
