From the Borough of Greenwich Free Press, 20 October, 1855.
Another inquest was held yesterday at the "Wellesley Arms, Hill
street, Woolwich, on the body of Rosina Holding, aged 11 years, the
daughter of a smith residing at Plumstead.
From the evidence it appeared that the deceased was at Charlton Fair
with her parents, and returning home her mother paid 4d. for her
four children to ride to the "Woodman." The driver was a boy, who
beat the horse and exercised no caution, and the vehicle came in
collision with a waggon, was upset, and the head of deceased was
thrown violently against the wheels of the waggon, killing her
almost instantly. The other children were more or less injured. The
driver of the chaise was apprehended and was yesterday charged with
furious driving at the Police Court.
Mr. Traill remanded the prisoner with an intimation that he would
most likely be sent for trial.
The inquest was adjourned until Saturday (this day).
