Liverpool Daily Post 1 Feb 1868:
CONFESSION OF A MURDER TWENTY YEARS AGO. - A man named "Pinny" Lloyd, who was in 1848 sentenced to transportation for sheep stealing, at Granchester, Cambs, has confessed to one John Hullyer, in Australia, where Lloyd is now dangerously ill and not expected to live, that he was the murderer of Mr. Edward Titchmarsh, dealer, of Shepreth, Cambs, whose death has ever been a matter of mystery. The late Mr. Titchmarsh had with him, at the time of his leaving Trumpington, about £1,000 in notes, all of which were missed: and it is now said that Lloyd murdered poor Titchmarsh, and took his notes away at the time of the occurrence in September, 1847. It was supposed by the jury at the inquest that Mr. Titchmarsh met with his death by falling out of his gig, but that supposition is cleaned away by this confession. The notes, it is said, were burnt by Lloyd to avoid detection.
