FATAL ACCIDENT AT ST LAWRENCE.
On Friday last, T. T. Delasaux, Esq., the county coroner, held an
inquiry in this parish, touching the death of Stephen Foster. Mr. George
Foat, of St. Lawrence, deposed, that on the previous Wednesday, at about
half-past four in the afternoon, the deceased was assisting him in
getting a beer barrel (of 54 gallons) into his cellar, and when they had
got it on the top of the sill the deceased said, “Master, don’t you take
hold of it, or you will push me down.” The deceased pulled the barrel
down into the collar, and fell down himself. He received no other injury
except by the fall, which was purely accidental. Witness went into the
cellar, when the deceased got up and said, “Oh, my head.” The deceased
afterwards walked up the steps from the cellar into the beer-house. At
about seven o’clock witness’s sister gave the deceased a little brandy
and tea in the cellar. The deceased fell backwards on his head.
Mr. George S. Snowden, surgeon, of Ramsgate, deposed that he saw the
deceased on Wednesday evening, at Mansion Court Farm, and found him
insensible. Witness examined his head and found no external marks of
violence, but he was labouring under symptoms of congestion of the
brain, which witness had no doubt was produced by a fail, and which
caused his death.
Verdict, “Accidental Death.”
