    3. Saturday 15 Jun 1844 (p. 2, col. 7) BODY FOUND.-On Wednesday, the 5th instant, a body was seen floating at the foot of the river Nith, near Carsethorn, which proved to be the remains of Robert NICHOLSON, eldest son of Mr. Wm. NICHOLSON, Port Carlisle, who was unfortunately drowned in the Solway Frith last November. When found he had a couple of watches, some money, and other small articles in his pockets. His remains were interred on Friday, in the church-yard of Kirkbean, Dumfries-shire. The body of the gentleman who committed suicide near High Borrow Bridge, between Shap and Kendal, as mentioned in the Journal of last week, has been claimed by his relatives, and removed to Paisley for interment. The name of the ill-fated individual was GIBSON, and his connections at Paisley are said to be highly respectable.
