The prisoner seemed quite ast miehed at her good

LOSS OF LIFE ON THE RIVER

THAMES

On Saturday morning a leariul accident, involving a
serious loss of human lhe, occurred on the river Thames,
near Battersea-bridge. It appears that a party of five
persons, named severally William Day, of No. 7,
Garden-row, College-street, Chelsea ; Mary Eyles, a
shit, w:anati' of Qiieen-street ; George Cox, a Chelsea
pensioner, who resided near the coilege ; 'Jane Ingram,
who lived .in the same neighbourhood ; and a youth
' named Charles Foke, living near Battersea-bridge. had
been out to a party c debrating the grand raga: ta, in
which one of thole friends had won a' prize. It wa3
proposed that the five persons before alluded to shuuld
take a bust and have a row on the water. Accordiegl),
the whole party got into a small sailing boat, sufficient!)
capacious to carry with safety from two to three p,rsons.
Whilst they were getting take g the shore to the vessel,
the young woman Ingram slip;:ed down into the mutt
and dirtied her dress. As stem as the party had taken
their sesta in the frail craft, the young womsu just
spoken of gut up with the intention of washing
the mud off her gown. She had scarcely dune so
when the boat canted on one side, and in an instant the
whole of the five persons were precipitated lido the river.
Their crie:= for assistance were truly distressing, and at
that early hour of the tnornitig, it is hardly necessary to
state, but few persons were to be found up. With the
ussistatice of the police on the beat, however, several of
the neighbours and watermen were brought to the spot;
and it is but right to say that every man exerted hitnself
to the utmost to save as many lives as possible. Foke
was re'eued, and with the assistance ot Mr. Davies, a
coal -mere-ham, and a person named John Bull, the fife
of Jane Ingram was saved, but unfortunately Mar)
Eyiea, who was seen clinging to Day and Cox, Kept her
hold el them so tight that they were unable to do any-
thing to effect their escape. and all three sank together.
Mr. Jaekwitg-the-landlord of the Adam and Eve public-
hoose, had the drags brought out, and the spot where
the see,dent occurred was searched, but without effect,
for the wh..16 three had disappeared. Tile search, bow
ever, was continued throughout yeNtetday (Sunday), and
',About three o'clock the body of Cox was found, and it
was taken to St. Margaret's dead hou-e, in which dis-
trict it was found; but neither of the oi.her two bodies
had been found at seven o'clock last evening.
