Blackbird, David Ingle and John Richards,
siX cif the 'Unfortunate persons who were drOwned,
at the new SUuthwall-bridge, as we have already
mentioned.
• Robert Barrow, being sworn, said, Tam a wa-
te'rman, and belong to the British Fire-ofilee. 1
live in Prince's-court, Commercial-road, and have
beettemployed these sixteen months at the South-
work-bridge build tg across the river Thames
from Queen-stivet CO Batik-side. I hove been
entploved to take the men to and from their
work 'at the dam. 'At half-after, one o'clock
on Saturday mortliti:i I was at the dam stairs,
in conip,loy with John Dixon,. my fellow-
Waterman, on, the 'city side, to take the work,.
men,home ; amongst whom was John Armstrong
PM' several others. We were to take them to
Bankside ; we' came to take
them home in our boat, btu so many ru,shed
that I was alarmed, :and called out to them for
not so many to come in, or they ‘voold sink us.
They got in to the numbir of I 6: or 17, :!tall then
I pushed Off, and John Dixon and I were rowing
towards the shore, when, as we of near a barge
which was moored by the gltle of the bridge se-
'sera!, of them being alarmed at the dread of onr
running against the bare, stood up at once, and
I-called to them to sit down, or they would drown
us all. However, they all stood up at once, the
boat filled, and turned upside downinonediately,
Two of them got on her bottom }het) she turned
up. John Dixon and I saved ourselves by s,vini.
ming. Dixon swam ash Ore to Oneenitithe D cl, ;
I was picked tip by the ,Poliee boat ; and Ginsoo
and Chnh were saved by resting on the bottom of
'the boat that was upset, and were picked nit by
another boat belonging to Fletcher and Askew,
coal-merchants, in Queenhithe. All the rcst., tb
the mlniker cfr 13 or 14, were drawnedsi
w.kom wire the six persons whose bodies lie now
iu ibe bone-house.
A Juryman said, it was requisite for the Jury
to know 'low Richard Borrow was paid, -or wile-
! they he was' interested in carrying so many:persons
in his boat at the time.

Barrow replied, he had not a single penny by
it ; that
nhe had due it for the aceommodat:on
of the men, who, on former occasions, seemed
anx'..ons,to crowd in ; that he frequently cautioned
them, but without avail. He had a regular salary
front the Company, and had no occasion to carry
them if 1)6 had any
_thing else to do.
John Dixon Sworn.-:--He was in the boat. with
the last witness,- to carry the labourers employed
at the bridge from the end of Queen-street across
the Thames, to Horse.shoe-alley, Bardo-si4le.—
Several gOt into the boat, when Barrow said it
was enough, but that several more got in atter-
wards') they iwoceeded to neatly the 111 th

Richard Dalbv, surveyor of the Thames Police,
went 00 ditty about 12 o'clock,
.0.0 poised the
middle of the bridge ; between twel've and -ono he
heard a scream; and instantly proceeded to the
place from whence,it came ; it was ti moon.light
morning, which
.enabled him to discover the acei
dent ; he succeeded, %vitt' aisistattre, in picking
tip Barrow, Chub„undObson, -ail wt onir he.
landed at the engine-house belonging to 'the
Bridge Company. Every
_endeavour was made to.
save the rest, but without effect...
Mr. Xiaiston,.foreman of the works,.st"..d, that
they all had left -families 1, he was willing to in-
-ilemnify the parish for, burying them- decently, it
their friends consented; but if the bodies, were
removed in any other way, he.should.' have. no-
thing to do with them.
Francis peimon No, 3, Eptim-place, Lambeth-

marsh, said, on Saturday forenoon he W 43 stand-
ing; on, the bank of the Thames, near the Rose
and Bull, Bank-side, and saw the body of Com-
mings dragged up by some. fishermen ; it was
very much mutilated.
George Terryer, grave-digger at the Cross-
lane burying-ground, St. Saviour's,. Sottthwark,
said, the bodies of Armstrong, Baker, and Cutn-
tniugs, Mune brought to the butte-honse utt Satur.

morning tb body of Richards, foond droNned,
was brought in.: they all were the bodies the Jury
had a view of. There, were none of the persons

sent to give evidence.
The Coroner, in his charge, observed, bow lA..
men-table a circumstance, it was to !cave so many
widows mud orphans destitute of support.; but it
did not appear that any blame could, lie imputed
to any' individual. was an unforeseen accident,
occasioned by their (mu obstinacy and impatience;
if they had remained quiet in the boat 'it was
likely it would not have occurred.
The room was cleared for the Jury, and in a

assistance had been afforded, that she could have

The Jury censured the conduct of the witnesses
that they did not procure medical aid. •

their duty better than by regnesting- the Humane
Society to have some place and apparatus at Mtg.:.
