From the Kentish Gazette, 7 January 1834. Price 7d.
An inquest was held on Thursday se"nnight, on the body of Thomas
Medhurst, who died suddenly, while sitting in the tap-room of the
“Golden Lion” public-house, in Mill-lane, Maidstone, on the Tuesday
night preceding? It Appeared that he had called for a pint of warm beer,
which was brought him, but before he had time to touch it, he fell with
his head on the table and died instantly. Mr. Plane, the surgeon,
attended promptly, but he was found to be beyond all human aid. He was a
stranger in Maidstone, but his name was discovered by a letter from the
Rev. C. Oxenden, near Bridge, in this count addressed to the Rev. R.
Mayne, of Linsfield, Sussex, in which it was stated that the poor fellow
had been harvesting in Kent, was labouring under a complication of
diseases, had been relieved by Mr. Oxenden, and would probably never
reach Linsfield, his native place, alive. After J. Mares, Esq. the mayor
and coroner of Maidstone, had examined witnesses as to the cause and
manner of the deceased's death, the jury returned a verdict of “Died by
the visitation of God from a complication of diseases.” |
