CABS		Handsworth Herald October 8^th 1896 Shocking Street Accident. On Saturday afternoon, between three and four O’clock, a young man named Frank Smith of Winson Street, Winson Green, accompanied by a companion went to catch a tram near Victoria Courts in Corporation Street for the purpose of witnessing a football match. The conductor, however, intimidated that the car was full, and the men attempted to recross to the footpath. In doing so Smith was knocked down by a cab which was, it is stated, being driven on the wrong side of the street. The point of one of the shafts caught him round the neck, causing a severe wound, from which blood flowed copiously. A police constable conveyed him a cab to the General Hospital.

CALTHORPE		HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS
LORD CALTHORPE		MAIL 19^TH August 1893 There is something rather curious about the tardy announcement that Lord Calthorpe left an instruction in his will that he should be cremated. He has been dead close upon two months and this is the first that has been heard of his views on the ambient of cremation. We do not recollect seeing any report of the grim ceremony, and we can only express a hope that the deceased nobleman’s opinion upon the best way of disposing the dead has not been overlooked. It would be rather late in the day to discover just now that his Lordship was strongly in favour of cremation. See Miss Austin The Honorable A C G and Mrs Calthorpe gave their Annual Treat to all the School Children of the Parish on July 22^nd, 1886. There were 400 present, besides the teachers and a happy afternoon was spent in the part. Mr Edwards had provided every form of entertainment, cricket, football, fishing, races and all kinds of games. Tea was served in a large tent which held the whole party.

CANAL	DEATHS	MAIL 11TH FEB 1899 TRAGIC AFFAIR AT PERRY BARR A WIFE’S MYSTERIOUS CONDUCT. About four o’clock yesterday afternoon, two boatmen in the employ of the Birmingham Canal Company, whilst passing along the canal at Perry Barr, saw a woman struggling in the water with a child in her arms. The woman was rescued by the men, but the child was found to be dead. Police-constables Smith and Taylor conveyed the dead body and the woman to the Handsworth Police Station. Her name is Susan Bradley (27), wife of Robert Henry Bradley. Vicarage Road, Aston, employed at the General Post Office, Birmingham. The infant’s name was Harry Reginald Bradley aged 7 months. When police-constable Smith, first arrived, he took them into the cottage of Thomas Malpass, close by. The mother not being much the worse for her immersions, he directed his attention to the little one, but his EFFORTS TO RESTORE ANIMATION, Which were carried on for some time, were without avail. The woman, who did not seem to realise what had happened, was taken to the house of Mr. Martin, a canal policeman and provided with a change of clothes and some tea. She and the dead body of her child were afterwards conveyed in a float, belonging to Mr Hoskins, of Perry Barr, to the police station at Thornhill Road, Handsworth. As she had informed the boatman that she had become giddy and fallen into the water, no charge was then preferred against her. It subsequently transpired that she left her home about noon, accompanied by the deceased child and another, named Stanley Bradley (2). She called at the house of her husband’s mother, Mrs. Bradley, 23 Grosvenor Road, and the latter was rather surprised to see her, and said. “Whatever brings you here today?” She replied that Stanley wanted to see his grandmother. She then said that she would go and purchase something for Harry’s tea, and leaving the house, never returned. The woman was this morning IN A DAZED CONDITION From enquiries made by a Mail representative, it appears that about 18 months ago. Mr Bradley met with a serious accident at the General Post Office by falling down a lift. He received such injuries that he was unable to follow his employment for some time, and in fact had to be transferred to another department where the duties were less arduous. Mr. And Mrs. Bradley appear to have lived happily together, but as she was subject to fits of despondence her husband’s accident seems to have had a depressing effect upon her. About four months ago she confided to a neighbour that she had a great dread of being the mother of a young family, and added that in such case she should take her children and drown herself and them. The neighbour thought she was joking, and told her not to be silly. Nothing more was said on the subject, and Mrs. Bradley appeared to be in her usual health. During the morning yesterday she left home with her two children. As she did not return in the evening it was though that she had gone to Sparkbrook on a visit to a sister, who a few days ago gave birth to triplets. On the husband returning home shortly after four o’clock, and finding the door locked, he went to his mother’s, and met Police constable Smith, who had been in search of him, and who told him of the tragic event. On proceeding to the house he found a letter in his wife’s handwriting, written on half a sheet of notepaper, the contents of which left no doubt in the minds of the husband and officer that the woman’s conduct was premeditated. Bradley, who has been in the service of the post office since he was a boy, bears an excellent character. Indeed, the same may be said of his wife, and both husband and neighbour are unable to find any reason for her conduct except the strange fancy which she had communicated to a neighbour, as mentioned above. She kept her house and children scrupulously clean, and was most attentive to her husband’s wants, and so far as is known they lived most happily together. Handsworth Herald – December 24 1892 Mysterious affair at Perry Barr On Tuesday morning Mr. E Hooper held an inquest at the Old Crown and Cushion, Perry Barr on the body of a male child which was found in the Birmingham Canal on Sunday morning last. The evidence showed that on Sunday morning last a man named Thomas Lines, of Hill Farm, Great Barr was walking along the canal side with his retriever dog when the latter drew his attention to a floating body in the water. Lines communicated with the police and on examination they recovered the body from the water. It was perfectly naked and had the appearance of having been in the water some days. The body was removed to the Beaton Arms, and subsequently to the Perry Barr Police Station. The police have no clue as to the child’s parents and the inquiry was adjourned for a post mortem examination to be made. BIRMINGHAM DAILY MAIL February 13^th 1899 VTHE PERRY BARR TRAGEDY. A WIFE’S REMARKABLE LETTER The inquest upon the body of Harry Reginald Bradley, aged 7 months, was held before Mr. H. A. Pearson, coroner for South Staffordshire, at Handsworth Police Court this morning. The mother, Susannah Bradley, of 73 Vicarage Road, Aston, who is charged with causing the child’s death, was present. She was seated in the dock between two friends. She hung her had, and appeared not to take any interest whatever in the proceedings. Mr. P. Baker appeared on her behalf. The first witness called was Robert Henry Bradley, husband of the prisoner. He said he was a porter in the employ of the Birmingham Post Office. He left home on Friday morning at about 7.30 and his wife then seemed in her usual health and spirits. When re returned home, about 4.30 in the afternoon, he found the door locked. He went to his mother’s house in Grosvenor Road, Aston and there received the key of the door. Soon after he saw Police constable Smith, who told him what had happened. They had been married three years, and the union had been a happy one. On the 19^th June 1897, he met with a serious accident, and the shock had affected his wife’s health very much. In November she was suffering from anaemia, and was attended by Dr Clarke of Lichfield Road. On Wednesday she received a postcard stating that her sister at Sparkbrook had given birth to triplets. During a conversation on this subject his wife remarked that if she were in a similar position she would “take little Reggie and JUMP INTO THE CANAL, And leave little Stanley with his granny”. As she was laughing all the time he thought she was joking. On entering his house with Police constable Smith on Friday night he found a letter lying on the table from his wife. It ran: “My dear Husband, - I cannot do my duty to you or the children, so I am going to take Reggie and do away with myself. You will be far better off without me. Take dear little Stanley to his granny, and sell up and go back home. Don’t fret about me. I’m not worth troubling about. I am not fit to be a mother, or worthy to have a good husband. God help you both. Don’t ever tell dear little Stanley what his mother did, but love him for my sake. Good bye and God bless you. I owe for seven hundredweight of coal” by Mr Baker: His wife was a most affectionate woman, being kind and indulgent to her children. There could not be a better mother living. She did not enjoy robust health and was “subject to thinking moods” – Elizabeth Bradley, 22, Grosvenor Road, mother of the last witness, said that accused called with deceased and another child named Stanley Bradley (2) about noon on Friday. She said that Stanley wanted to see his grandmother, and she left him with her. She said she would go out and fetch something in for Harry’s tea. Witness thought she looked strange. She had a cap on, and her hair was untidy – By Mr. Baker: I know that the prisoner’s two brothers committed suicide. – Mary Adelaide Simms, 75, Vicarage Road, Aston, said that the accused seemed to have a dread of increased domestic responsibilities. She had heard her say that if she thought hers would increase she would do away with herself and the children. After a little girl named Louisa Holmes had proved seeing the woman and child in the water, Mr Baker said he would call the accused. She entered the witness box, and although evidently suffering from severe mental depression gave her version of the affair tolerably well. It was to the effect that she left the boy Stanley at his grandmother’s because she thought he would be happy, and she war unworthy of looking after him. She walked into Witton Cemetery to see HER MOTHER’S GRAVE But found that the gates were closed. She felt very unhappy, and had thought it would comfort her to see the grave. Turning back towards the canal side, she walked along the towing path, but did not know where was going. She was thinking about jumping in. On reaching the high bridge she did so. She had a sudden impulse – and could not turn back. The reason she wanted to be drowned with her baby was that she felt she was not doing her duty towards her husband or children. When she got into the water she realised what a dreadful thing she had done and wanted to save her baby, but she could not, she was so weak from having carried it so far.
