THE HIGHWWAY ROBBERY NEAR SALTCOATS
The police have been successful in apprehending one of the men who is alleged to have taken part in the robbery of £12 from the person of Mr Livingstone, of Dalry, on Friday last, on the Saltcoats and Dalry Road. His name is GEORGE QUIN, a previously convicted thief.
There is no proof that chloroform was administered to Mr Livingstone, and it would appear that he had been in the company with the two men before leaving Saltcoats.
The police have information regarding the other man which will, it is expected, lead to his speedy capture.

9 JULY 1886
DEATH OF MR WILLIAM BRYDEN OF THE MISSION COAST HOME
Yesterday morning, after an illness of several weeks’ duration, Mr William Bryden died at his residence in Quay Street, Saltcoats, in his 68th year.
One of the originators of the Mission Coast Home, and manager of that institution, he was widely known for his skill and success in the treatment of disease.
Under his management the home increased from a small room and kitchen to its present large dimensions, having last year admitted 1381 persons; while income from the same period, given voluntarily, was £1392.
Mr Bryden was highly respected, and in all movements for the benefit of his native town he lent a helping hand. He will be greatly missed, as it will not be easy to fill the blank he has left.
Mr Bryden was a manager of the E.U. Church, and took a warm interest in its affairs.
He is survived by his widow, for whom deep sympathy is felt.
