    Match Report

IN OTHER NEWS...

It was on 11 May 1927 that a 42-year-old man, Isaac Jeff was charged with the manslaughter of 14-year-old, Eric Evers at the Kursaal amusement park at Southend-on-Sea. Evers was working as an assistant at the rifle range and Jeff was firing at a shooting gallery when someone called out to him. As he turned to answer, the gun went off and shot the boy in the chest. A verdict of accidental death was returned by the Coroner's jury and the manslaughter charge was subsequently dropped.
