INQUEST ON THE DUKE OP WELLINGTON'S
SERVANT.

At ten o'cloeitpotteeday morning, a Jury wae sasembled at the
(Merge Tavern, Vasxhall-bridge-road, before Richard Carter, Esq.
Venom for Barmy, on the body of John White, a man of colour,
fate In the meek* of the Duke of Wellington, who was unfortu-
timely drowned..
George Penny being sworn, stated, that he was the third coach.
Man to the Dute of Wellington ; he and the deceased had spent
the evenkitte( Tuesday last at Vauxhall Gardens. On leaving
there, abowt four o'clock on Wednesday morning, they procured a
boat front the stairs to Westminster-bridge. On deceased getting
into the boat, being a little elevated, he fell over, but was soon got .
le again by the assistance of himself and the waterman ; the de.
teased then proposed to bathe, when he and the Waterman requested
him not; he, however, began to pull off his clothes, and declared
be would have a swim. Witness then said to the waterrnan, it he
will go into the water let him. The deceased was one of the best
iiiitimmers in the world, and told the Waterman he apprehended not
the !met danger. Witness, at request of deceased, then pulled oft
Me neekkerchief. On beirg stripped, he plunged out of the boat,
head foremost, and witness never caw him afterwards; indeed, he
considered, from his activity in the water on former occasions, that
he would have seen him rise again in the centre of tie river. W it-
TAWS could not believe he was drowned, and tept rowing shout fur
a cons'derable time, endeavouring to find him, but ineffectually.
The deceased was draggedt for, and the body found about two hours
after the occurrence happened. Witness had frequently seen the
llemased swim, and play most wonderful antics in the water, that
aiatonished all who had seen him, which indreed him (witness) to
cont,icla lie could not be drowned. The deceased was in liquor,
and that he believed was the occasion of his death.
Joseph Groves, a watcrman, deposed. that be was in tl.e boss
with the deceased and last witness ; he did not know whose servants
'they were: the deceased was not dressed in livery; he was to row
limn to ‘Vestminster-bridge. They both stepped into the boat,l
when the deceased got up and pushed the boat from a pile, by
willett he fell overboard up to his knees in water, he then got into
the boat again, and instantly began to undress himself to bathe,
esjing he would show .them (meaning several persons who were
lsegiong at him on chore) what he could do under water, and then
jumped head foremost into the river, and kept under water some
'time. WitOONI saw deceased swimming about a beat's length
air, but before he could reach him, he suddenly sunk and did not
'tire again ; the lapse of time could not have exceeded one minute;
Witness for an hour and a half kept rotting about for the body,
which was discovered about six o'clock in the morning near the,
-second etch of Vauxhall Bridge, and picked up in a fisismakies
'net. % heers has no doubt his death was occasioned by sedialls,;l

not longer trespass on your time than to thank you in the
name of my Revolutionary companions imams and myself
for the testimonies of esteem and affection, I may say, of
filial affection, which have been bestowed upon us 011 the
'memorable celebration of this anniversary day ; and to offer
our fervent prayers for the preservation of that Republican
freedom, equality, and self-government—that blessed
union between the States of the confederacy for which we
have fought and bled, and on which-rest the hopes of man-
'kind. Permit me to proroce the following sentiment :
" Bunker-hid, and the holy resistance to oppression which has
already enfranchised the American hemisphere—the next half can-
tury's jubilee's toast shall be—to enfranchised Europe."
' Of the surviving officers of the battle, there were present
