On April 22 there was exhibited at Wolverhampton a meteorolite weighing 81bs. It is believed to have fallen in a turf field in a meadow near the Wellington and Market Drayton Railway, about a mile north of the Gradgington station. It was stated that about ten minutes to four, within a seven miles’ radius of the Wrekin, the villages were alarmed by an unusual rumbling noise in the atmosphere, followed immediately by an explosion resembling the discharge of heavy artillery. Bain was falling heavily throughout the afternoon, but there was neither lightning nor thunder. About an hour after the report, a Mr. George Brooks went into a meadow, which is in the occupation of his stepfather, Mr. Bailey, and noticed that a hole had been cut in the ground. He probed it, and found that what was apparently a hard stone had buried itself in the ground to a depth of loin., passing through 4iu. of soil and 14in. of clay. It rested upon the gravel underneath these. The stone was dug up and removed to Wolverhampton, where it was found to be a mass of meteoric iron. The hole (which has been protected for further examination) is almost perpendicular, and the meteorolite is assumed to have fallen in a south-easterly direction. Laborers were at work at the time close to the spot where the meteorolite is supposed to have fallen, and were greatly alarmed. It is stated to be the intention of Mr. Gibbons, of Tettenhall-road, Wolverhampton, in whose possession the meteorolite now is, to lay it before the Birmingham Natural History Society. It is stated that the meteoric stone when found by Mr. Brooks was quite hot, although nearly an hour had elapsed from the time of the explosion being heard.
