A MAN FOUND DROWNED AT
EGREMONT.

On Saturday morning last, the captain of the Egre-
mont and New Brighton ferry boat discovered the body
of a sailor, of about thirty-two years of age, floating
near the Egremont slip, He conveyed it ashore; and,
having been refused petniissibn to deposit it in a public
house, placed it in a shed belonging to a sweep. The
body was in a very advanced state of decomposition,
and had evidently remained in the water for some days.
There were two bruises upon the neck, and a bruise upon
the head, which gave rise to the suspicion that he had
been stabbed and cruelly murdered aboard some vessel
in the river. Much excitement prevailed, and the body
was visited by thousands of persons. An inquest was.
held in the afternoon, at the Hen and Chickens, before
the district coroner, Mr. Henry Churton, who explained
to the jury that the marks on the neck and head might
have been caused by a great many things, such as the
sharp point of a rock, k-c. He and several jurymen.
expressed dissatisfaction that the body had been depo-
sited among the soot in a sweep's shed, and suggested
the desirability of erecting dead-houses at Egremont.
The jury returned a verdict of " found drowned."
