TRUMPINGTON. - Accident. - On Monday last, as John Haggis, labourer, in the employ of Mr. Thos. Bland, of the Green Man, was at work on a ladder, on the outbuildings in the farm-yard, he suddenly slipped off, and was precipitated to the ground, a distance of 8 or 10 feet, he was immediately picked up and conveyed to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, where it was ascertained that he had sustained a complete fracture of one of his legs; but we are happy to say that he is in a very favourable way of recovery.
Cambridge Independent Press 7 Nov 1868:
TRUMPINGTON. - William Long, a labourer from Downham, was committed for trial for stealing a spade, the property of John Haggis, and a spade and pickaxe, the property of Chas. Frost, at Trumpington, on the 19th Oct., also a spade and foot-iron, the property of Thomas Covell, at Harston, on the 21st October. These tools were stolen from Coprolite Works in the aforenamed parishes, and as it transpired that prisoner had been twice previously convicted, the Bench refused to deal summarily with the case. Prisoner had disposed of the tools at Rayments, a marine store dealer in Barnwell, from whence they were recovered by p.c. Longstaff, and prisoner was subsequently apprehended at Ely.
