THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE "TRAM L—.
Yesterday Mr. Higgs held an inquest, -at the White
Swan, Vauxhall-bridge-road; on the body of !arall
• Coombes, aged ten months, one of the four "perJons
drowned on Monday evening in the Thames, otfthe,:ear.!
dogan pier, Chelaea.. :Some particulars touching this
afdic ting
occurrence appeared in this Journal on Tuesday,.
Samuel Hind, aged 16,. said that on Monday nfterribon•
Mrs. Coombe and Mrs. Goodrum, both drowned, and
six other persons, went in a boat to Putney, to see the
husbands of the former row for a wager, which they
won. They arrived safe at Putney, which they...left
at a quarter to six in the evening, and on their' re-
turn they stopped at the Magpie and Stump, Cheyne-,
walk, Chelsea,. and. had four glasses of gin and.
water. He, and a boy named Rush, -,ware in the
care of the bout: The whole- party left the Magpie and
Stump about seven. When they got into the boat, a
waterman's apprentice, named Holloway, jumped into it
from his own boat; -• Nobody asked• him to do so, and..
the boy Rush, who was rowing as well as witness, told
Holloway to get•out,-or they should not get down safe.
.M rs. Goodrum did not. ask Holloway- into the boat, but
when he was in she told him to sit down. As he was •
going aft to do so he knelt on witness's arm, rendering,
him incapable of using the oar, and the boat struck
against the dumb lighter at the bottom of the steam-boat
chain pier. The boat did not upset-immediately, but
directly she struck, the women stood up, saying, " Let
us get out." Holloway said, " Sit still," and tried to
shove the boat off, and in doing so, the water began to
run in at the stern of the boat. Holloway jumped out
of the beat, on to the dumb lighter, crying out that she
was sinking. Witness, the boat being then nearly full
of water, followed his example, and dragged after him
the boy Rush. As he was reaching his hand to Miss
Coombes (drotlned, and aged 14), the boat turned over,'
and Mr.;. Coonebe3, Mrs;. Goodrum, and the child, on
whoa, body the inquest was now held, were dro;%ned.
By a Juror—lf Holloway had not jumped into our
boat and impeded .my arm. I think we should have
got home safely. Holloway saved a Mrs. Phillips and
her son.

Thomas Rush, aged 16, son of a Waterman, and who
was rowing with the last witness, corroborated in every
particular his evidence, and was likewise of opinion that
the accident %%ould not hare happened if Holloway had
not jumped into their boat. • He added that Holloway
was not sober at the time. • There was no quarrelling be-
tween witness and Holloway. Deceased was the -child
of Mrs. Coombes, who was drowned.
