Trouble finding an article on the Times Archive

I've found a report, on the times archive (from 1878) into the inquest into the death of someone, who was killed by a police officer, when being arrested. The report says 'the circumstances of the case have already been reported', but I can't find that report. I've searched under the man who died's name and the policeman's name. There's no other information, like where etc, to search on. Any suggestions?

Perhaps you could try a headline, rather than a name? Something not too lurid.(even tho' some were a bit bloodthirsty ) Of course I've now gone blank!! ''Police killing' ? ''Man's Death''? 'Crime Report' , ''Arrest Death'' Wouldn't think the report would be too far back, so you can put specific dates in. Only thing I can think of Regards Jane

Tried all those. I managed to find another report into the inquest, which says the incident happened on a Saturday, so maybe it was The Sunday Times that reported it. That's not included in the Archive.
