Richard W Dickinson

Nothing is known of this architect save the Following paragraph:

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A CAB -  Yesterday evening a respectably dressed man engaged a cab in York Street, Chorlton-on-Medlock, and instructed the cabman to drive him to Potter Street, Hulme. Proceeding along Stretford Road the hirer stopped the vehicle at a public-house and both he and the driver partook of some liquor. The man re-entered the cab, and was driven towards his destination; but when in Radnor Street Hulme, the cabman heard the report of a pistol; and thinking something was wrong, he called a man named Greaves, and they looked into the cab. They there found the occupant in a state of insensibility, and blood flowing from his nose and from a wound in the back of his head. The man was driven to the house of Mr Pinder, a surgeon residing in the locality, who discovered a small single barrelled pistol lying at the bottom of the cab. Subsequently he was conveyed to the Royal Infirmary where it was found he was suffering from a serious wound in the head, from which it is considered extremely improbable that he will recover. It has been ascertained that his name is Richard W Dickinson, that he resides at 14 Potter Street, Hulme, and is an architect and surveyor. The reasons which prompted the unhappy man to lay violent hands upon himself have not been ascertained. [Manchester Guardian 26 January 1876 page 8]
