WHITSTABLE. Death by Drowning.
Yesterday Mr. Coroner Delasaux and a respectable jury held an
inquest, at the "South Eastern Railway Hotel," on the body of Wm.
Austin Tomlin, aged 14 years, who was drowned while bathing on
Sunday afternoon. The only witness examined was William Harrison,
mariner, who deposed that about half past 2 o'clock on Sunday
afternoon he saw the deceased and four or five other boys bathing in
the sea. Shortly afterwards the deceased was missing, and several of
the boys said he was drowned. A boat was put off and a search was
instituted for the body which was not recovered till it had been in
the water two hours. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."
