Poor John! April 19 1850 DISCOVERY OF A DEAD BODY The body of a boy, apparently about 15 years old, was found on the bank of the Foyle, about 2 miles below Strabane on Sunday evening last. On inquiry it was found that the deceased, whose name was John MULLAN, belonged to the neighbourhood of Drumquin and had been drowned about a fortnight since, when crossing a ford across the river below Newtownstewart. The body, which was in a mutilated state, the eyes having been pecked out apparently by a bird, had been carried ten miles down the river. The Strabane police had a coffin provided and the remains interred.
