Death of a Yorkshire Cricketer - Mr Richard Letby, of York, died suddenly yesterday. His prowess as a single wicket player was unrivalled in his day, and evidence of this exists in the fact he played no less than 13 such matches against the best men in Yorkshore and adjoining counties, and was never beaten in one.
He was honorary secretary of the York Cricket Club for thirty five years, and until its career was stayed by the occupation of its ground by the new railway station.
In 1842 he became landlord of the Cricketers Arms, in Tanner row, where he remained for thirty nine years; and his connection with the licensed victuallers trade ultimately brought him into the position of president of that body.
