Nottinghamshire Guardian TREAT TO WORKMEN - Mr Mundy gave a supper at the house of Mr Jas. King, The Bull's Head Inn, Derby, on Saturday evening last, to about 50 of the workmen lately employed in putting on the new roof, and other alterations at Shipley Hall, in acknowledgment of the satisfaction all had given through the behaviour and exertions in working during the late inclement season. All were highly pleased with the supper, which was excellent and well served. Many of the workmen have been employed by Mr Mundy for the past 12 months in erecting a farmhouse at Smalley, cottages, lodges and other improvements still in progress at Shipley, Mapperley and other parts of the estate, under the direction of Messrs. Giles and Brookhouse, architects.

The Derby Mercury, Wednesday, July 15, 1863 GRAND BAZAAR AT SHIPLEY HALL - The most successful bazaar we have attended for many years was held on Tuesday and Wednesday last at Shipley. The result was due none the less to the energy and thoughtfulness of Mrs. Evans and the ladies who were responsible for the effort, than to the kindness of Mr. Mundy, who not only permitted the bazaar to be held upon his estate, but contributed also by his presence, by his purse and his influence to promote in every way the attainment of the object in view. It is very probable, too, that the exceedingly fine weather, the beauty of the site, and the personal popularity of the respected ladies who were concerned in the project, had much influence upon the hundreds who patronised the laudable design to erect schools for the parish of Stanley. The Bazaar was held in a tent, provided by Mr. Hobson, of Derby, and fixed in a meadow near to the Hull. The interior was prettily decorated, by Mr. Holmes, of Nottingham with streamers and festoons of red and white. The stalls were attended by Mrs. Evans, Mrs, Roe, Miss Roe, Mrs. Canner, Mrs, H. Richardson, Mrs. R. Evans, Miss Evans, Misses Evans (Ellastone), Misses Eliza aud Annie Richardson, Miss Kendal, Miss Bates, Miss Barnes, Miss Fletcher (Mapperley), Mrs Fletcher (Stanton), Miss Canner, Miss Ann Brentnall, and the Misses Parkins (Kirk Hallam.) The large number of contributions included the usual variety of useful and ornamental articles which the ingenuity taste of the ladies generally offer for the patrons of bazaars, but there were also additional inducements for purchasers in the live fowl, splendidly worked screens , jewellery, and a vast number of knick-knacks as indescribable as they were beautiful. The ladies who kept the stalls were successfully assisted by Mr. Robt. Evans, Mr. J. Potts, Mr. J. A. Evans, Mr. T. Roe, Mr. Digby Lyon, Mr. Willie Kendal, and other gentlemen, through whose exertions, with the aid of Mrs, Roe, Mr. Evans, and Miss Evans, a vast number of articles were disposed of by raffles, in which a trade so incessant was done as to render it impossible for the stronger sex to walk from one end of the room to the other without being fleeced to the last cent by the weaker vessel. Indeed bullion soon became as scarce as in America. At one side of the tent was a refreshment stall, where a more satisfactory business was done on a very business-like and moderate tariff of charges. Here restoratives were promptly administered to the shorn Iambs and fainting hearts which came staggering from the effects of the treatment of the fair traders, but on the whole, whatever were their troubles, every one seemed good humoured under them, and the object of the bazaar was amply encouraged, 207/- being received in the two days. ln addition to the enticing attraction of the bazaar tent the visitors were allowed to join in the games of Aunt Sally, Croquet. &c., whilst numerous parties enjoyed the swings, participated in the dances, to the music of well selected bands, or strolled in the beautiful grounds— generously thrown open. For the lovers of more boisterous mirth Professor Phillips performed tricks of sleight of hand with creditable eclat. The fine scenery, the joyous weather, and the attractive nature of the occasion combined to render this a very pleasurable event, but above all the courtesy and kindness of Mr. Mundy and his friends contributed to ensure the success of the venture. Mr. Mundy was ever ready to aid the efforts made by Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Roe and the other ladies who zealously and kindly laboured to ensure the consummation of Mrs. Evans's laudable design. Indeed, the members of the family rendered invaluable aid, and it may be said that to their kindnesses, and the efforts of the ladies, who ranked themselves under Mrs. Evans's banner, the great success is due. Mrs. Roe and Mrs. Canner kindly supplied a stall with articles of usefulness and ornamentation ; and, at the risk of being invidious, we must particularize the splendid screens made by Miss Evans, and those furnished by Mrs. Roe. Many pretty things were contributed by Mr. Mundy, who also sent pastry, jellies, cakes, &c. The large amount taken includes 10/- kindly sent by Mrs. Sitwell, of Stainsby. We only express the opinion of the ladies who have so energetically carried out this most successful bazaar, when we record our commendation of the efforts made by the stall-keepers, the stewards, the gate-keepers (Messrs, Brown and Ling), and the whole of the assistants engaged in this memorable fete. Amongst the visitors were noticed—Captain and Mrs. Bateman, Miss Sitwell (Morley), the Revds. Ebsworth, Deacon, and Doughty, — Barber, Esq., E. Whitehouse, Esq., and Mrs. Whitehouse, A. G. Whitehouse, Esq., Mr. A. Whitehouse. Mr. H. Marshall, Mr. Marshall, Miss Alcock, Mr. F. Saudara, Mr. Walker, Mr. Gregory, Mr. and Mrs. Eastwood, Mr. Canner, Mr. Roe, Mr. Kemp, Mr. Gills, Mr. J, Pots, Mrs. Place. The industry displayed by Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Roe, Mrs. Canner, Miss Evans, the Misses Richardson, and other Indies was ably seconded by the efforts of Mr. Canner, Mr. C. Canner, Mr. J. Evans, Mr. Lyons, and other gentlemen, and the Shipley Hall Bazaar will be long remembered as amongst the most successful gatherings in Derbyshire. The Derby Volunteer Band, under Mr. J. King and Drum-Major Hickling, performed the following selection on Wednesday Part 1 Grand Parade March. "Volunteer," Mr. James King,
Part 2 March, "The Wedding," Mendelssohn.
A large number of useful and ornamental articles were unsold, and the Committee have resolved to hold another Bazaar at Stanley in a few weeks hence, when they will be glad to see all the friends who are anxious to promote the attainment of the object they have in view.

J. Higgins, one of the Society’s missionaries at Cuddapah, South India. The sum total collected at the Sunday services and after the meeting amounted to £1 6s 5d. Mysterious Death For several weeks past considerable excitement has prevailed in the village of Mapperley, owing to the sudden disappearance of a young man, respectably connected, named Francis Martin, a miller, carrying on the business at Mapperley Windmill. About a month ago he went Derby in company with a friend, the latter of whom left him in charge of his conveyance while making a business call in that town, but on returning to the trap found that Martin had disappeared. Inquiry as to his whereabouts was at once instituted, but nothing definite could be ascertained until Friday, the 2nd instant, when his body was found floating down the river Derwent, near the paper mills Messrs Tempest, at little Eaton, near Derby. Mr. Coroner Whiston held an inquest on the body on Saturday, when the evidence produced failed to unravel the mystery whether the deceased committed suicide or not. According the surgeon’s evidence, who made a post-mortem examination of the body, there were various blows on his back and head, as though he had been the victim of some foul play. The jury returned an open verdict of “Found drowned."

Nottinghamshire Guardian SUSPECTED MURDER NEAR DERBY. A case of suspected murder was on Friday brought to light by the discovery of the body of a man floating on the river Derwent, at Little Eaton, near Derby. On recovering the body from the water it was found that the back part of the head bore marks of severe blows having, from some cause or other, been inflicted, leading to the supposition that a foul murder had been committed, although nothing had been abstracted from the pockets of the deceased, thus showing that mercenary motives had not influenced any assailants to commit the deed. The body of the deceased was not recognized at the time of being taken from the water, but from letters found in his pockets it is believed that his name is Francis Martin, and that he is a native of Mapperley, Derbyshire. The body had evidently been in the water some time. The police have the case in hand, and will, of course, prosecute every inquiry to clear up this mysterious and suspicious death. The deceased is said to be a miller in a respectable position. The inquest held before Mr. Coroner Whiston, on the body of Francis Martin, of Mapperley, Derbyshire, who was found drowned in the river Derwent, near the paper mills of Messrs. Tempest, at Little Eaton failed to throw any really satisfactory light as to how the deceased came by his death, and the jury therefore returned an open verdict of "Found drowned."

William Hobson, of Mapperley, was the successful competitor. Three hearty cheers been given to Mr. and Mrs. Newdigate for their generosity and kindness the happy gathering dispersed.
