Fatat Accident.

An inquest was held on the body of Richard Winchester, at the "Rose and Crown" public house, Military-road, before Mr. Delasaux, coroner for this district, on Saturday morning last. The deceased met with his death under the following circumstances:—

He was proceeding from Herne Bay, where he had been living at the "Pier Hotel," as waiter, to Canterbury, on the top of a van, on Thursday evening, and when passing through Sturry, he fell off the vehicle on to the road; he was picked up and conveyed to his home in Canterbury, where medical assistance was promptly rendered. The next morning early he was found dead in his bed. The foregoing facts having been given in evidence, the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death." The unfortunate deceased has left a wife and four children totally unprovided for.
