minster Abbey, which was done on the 2d of May in the above
year, when the body was found in the most perfect preservation,
and most richly dressed, after being entombed 534 years.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday afternoGn
an inquest was held at the White Swan Tavern in Vauxhall
Bridge-road, on the body of Lewis Webb, late of Little Pul-
teney- street, St. James's, gas-fitter.—William Carter stated
that he was Jack-in-the-water at the Westminster end of Vaux-
hall-bridge. Between twelve and one o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon he saw the body of the deceased lying on the shore
about twenty yards above bridge. The body was on its face,
and the tide was just ebbing from it.—Mr. William Dobson,
of No. 32, Little Pulteney-street, stated that he had been
acquainted with the deceased for some years. He was about
thirty-five years of age, and has left a widow and three chil-
dren. He was in good circumstances. On Tuesday last the de-
ceased and three other tradesmen and witness hired a boat at
Hungerford-market to have a row on the river. They pro-
ceeded to different places, and as far as Nine Elms, Vauxhall,
where they agreed to have a bathe, and the deceased, who wit-
ness believed could not swim, was the first to jump into tho
water. The boat was then about fifty yards from the shore,
and the depth ahout twelve feet. Witness, hearing the splash,
looked round, and saw that the head of the deceased was under
the water.. He was holding up his hands above the surface, and
clapping them violently together ; he sunk immediately after-
wards, and no more was seen of him. The drags were pro-
cured and used, but his body could not be found. He was per-
fectly sober. There had been no quarrel amongst the party.
—Verdict., " Accidentally drowned."
