THE BODY FOUND IN THE RIVER LEA.—Yesterday
Mr. Baker, the Coroner for the Eastern Division of Mid-
dlesex, held an inquest at the Spread Eagle, Homerton,
respecting the death of Thomas Wilkinson, aged 65, of
Leytonstone, Essex, whose body was found in the River
Lea, under circumstances to warrant a supposition that he
had been murdered. The body having been viewed by
the coroner and the jury, the following witnesses were
examined .—James Harvey, of West-street, Hackney,
said, that on Sunday morning last his attention was
called to the body of the deceased, which was about four
inches below the surface of the water. Having got it
cut, it was taken to the workhouse. There was a rope
tied round the deceased's legs, and one of his hands was

tied to his knee. He found a hat and handkerchief lying
near the' place where the body was discovered. He had
no knowledge how the deceased got into the water; but
he had carefully examined the banks since, and could
discover nothing to lead him to suppose that the de-
ceased had been struggling before he went into the water.
Had not the least suspicion that deceased had been mur-
dered by another party; but, on the contrary, believed
that he had tied his own legs together, and then have
slid into the water Mr. James Root said that the de-
ceased, on more than one occasion, had wandered from
home into Epping Forest. Another witness said, that
about three years ago the deceased left his home, and
wandered about for three days and nights. The jury
returned an open verdict, " that the deceased was found
dead in the river Lea, with his legs tied together, but
there was not sufficient evidence to prove how he got
therein."
CURIOUS OCCURRENCE.—On Thursday last, as a
pair of Lord Strathallen's horsesandcartswprtereerhesthuirrne-
' Tullibardine,
return-
ing' from Westlands Quarry, at
the driver, John M‘.Lachlan, finding himself thirsty,
went into a cot-house by the roadside. While he was
there, one of his horses commenced eating the grass from
the' low earth dyke fence of a garden, but, in so doing,
upset a hive of bees. The bees immediately attacked
both the horses'and driver, who were literally covered
with the insects, and stung to such a degree that the
arses are completely disabled. Upon the attack of the
bees one of the horses reared and plunged at a fearful
rate, in consequence of which the driver lost all command
over it, and was thrown down and severely trampled on.
