Lancaster Gazette, 24 Jan 1818, page 3
A melancholy accident happened lately at Lorton, near Cockermouth. A son of Mr. Jonathan Musgrave (about fourteen years of age), endeavouring to recover a foot-ball, which one of his playfellows had tost into the Whitbeck, he fell into the rivulet, which was much swoln at the time by the heavy rains, and was unfortunately drowned. The accident happened on the Thursday, and the body was not discovered till the Saturday following.
