TONBRIDGE. Melancholy Suicide.
On Wednesday last in inquest was held at the "Star and Garter"
beer-shop, Golden Green, Hadlow, before J. N. Dudlow, Esq., coroner, on
the body of John Beach, a boy aged 11 years, who was found drowned in
the Medway, on Sunday, the 22nd inst.
Thomas Beach, brother of the deceased, labourer, said:— I have
seen the
deceased; he is about 11 1/2 years old. Saw him last alive at his home.
Yesterday week, in the afternoon, he complained of his feet; he said he
wished he was dead, as father swore at him and knocked him about with
the shoes, and knocked him down in the hop garden, because he did not
bury the weeds. He said, as father knocked him about so he was not
happy, and thought he should make off with himself. Father has used us
all cruelly; he would knock us down; the deceased, I think, was used
worse than the rest, because he was hard of hearing.
Edward Beach, the father, stated that he sent the boy to Mr. Simmons, on
Monday, for orders, and that he only socked his head, and that he used
him as he did the others.
The Coroner told this witness that there was no doubt in the minds of
the jury that his cruelty was the cause of the poor boy’s drowning
himself, and that in the eyes of God he was no doubt guilty of the boy’s
death.
Verdict, "That the deceased drowned himself, being under the age of
discretion."
It was stated that the father was an illiterate, violent man, and that
his conduct has always been very cruel towards his wife and children.

Highway Robbery at Hadlow.
George Golding, 39, and Robert Mullis, 32, both labourers, were
charged with assaulting Samuel Hobden, on Wednesday, the 16th of
September last, and stealing from his person, with violence, a
silver watch, value £3, at Hadlow. Mr. Horn prosecuted, and Mr. Ribton defended the prisoner. Samuel Hobden, of Hadlow, labourer, stated that on the 15th
September, he went to the "Star and Garter" beerhouse, at
Golden-green. While there the prisoners came in, and he afterwards
pulled out his watch to tell the hour. At about ten o'clock the
house was cleared, and, ten or twelve went out, himself and the
prisoners among them. Witness was proceeding home, when Golding
knocked him down, and then both prisoners rolled him over, and got
him into a ditch. They then felt for his watch, and after a
struggle, obtained it and ran away. He ran after them, and overtook
Mullis, who struck him and then escaped. Henry Delia, police-constable at Tunbridge, apprehended the
prisoners on the morning of the 10th September, when they had no
watch upon them. Mr. Ribton addressed the jury for the prisoners, treating the case
as one of mistaken identity. The jury returned a verdict of guilty against both prisoners, who
were then sentenced to twelve months’ hard labour. |
