Tenter Lives ott vas Rrvan.—By Mr. W. Carter, at the
King's Arms, Kew-green, upon the bodies of William
Wollan Bonitos, aged 22, William Edward Seeger, aged 19,
and Jane Seam aged 19, who were drowned by the up-
setting of a boat off the Higk-bridge, Mortlake-reach, on
the evening of Sunday last.—Henry James Seeger deposed,
that the deceased female was his sister. His brother was •
fitter, and the deceased Bonitos, who was his brother in-law,
was shopman to Mr. Henderson, a silversmith. Witness, his
father, brother, sister, and brother-in-law, left home on
Sunday afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, and
walked to the White Hone, Thames-bank, where
they hired a boat ; they proceeded up the river as far as
Mortlake reach, and were opposite the High-bridge, when
seeing nosteasten or other craft near they stopped rowing
to bale the boat, as she had leaked considerably. The de-
ceased Bonitos commenced baling the water out, and as
he leaned a little forward to pour the water out of the can
the best turned completely over, and all the party were im-
mersed. The witness's younger brother came up from under
the boat, and witness caught hold of his trousers, and kept
hits afloat for five or six minutes ; but he at last let go, end
he disappeared. Witness saw his father and sister together
once or twice, but believes that he lost her as he
lot his brother. He never esw anything of the
deceased, Boulton, from the time the boat turned over.
Witness could swim a little, and with the aid of a gallon
beer-bottle he kept himself afloat until he war picked up by
a shallop, which also rescued his father. The boat had been
making water previously, and they hod put in at Putney to
bale her. He did not see his sister or any other person rise
in the boat while Bolton was baling her.—William Edward
Seater, the father of the last witness, corroborated his son's
testimony.—The Coroner remarked, it would be nachos to
prolong the painful inquiry, It was evident the deceased
were accidentally drowned. It was wrong to bale a boat out
whilst in deep water, and he trusted this me'ancholy affair
would be a caution to others.—A verdict of "Accidentally
drowned was then returned."
