Maidstone Journal and Kentish Advertiser, Monday 4 January 1869.
Man Drowned.
An inquest was held at the "Ship Inn," Erith, on Monday night, on the
body of William Hunt, age 21, a labourer, of West Street, Erith, whose
body was found in the mud of the Ballast Wharf, Erith, on the afternoon
of the 25th, by James Brown, of West Street, Erith.
It appeared deceased had been drinking and was quarrelling, at 11
o'clock the previous night, at the "Ship." The landlord separated him
from the man with whom he was quarrelling, and tried to pacify him, when
he said he would go and drown himself, and at once left.
He was however, seen asleep on the ground afterwards, and it is
conjectured that on waking up, cold and half drunk, he walked into the
mud and water, under the impression that he was stepping onto dry land,
and thus unintentionally perpetrated the very act which he had a few
hours previously threatened to the landlord.
A verdict of "Found drowned was returned.
