gave evidence at the inquest into the death of
Thomas George Bridge, Esq.:
Charles Ferry then
deposed that he resided at No. 7, St. Edmund Street. He was in that
street at half-past 6 that morning, and his attention was attracted to
something in the water. He obtained a line, and called to his nephew for
assistance, and they drew the body ashore. It was about 20 yards from
the quay. They threw a grapnel, and the second time it caught hold of
it, and they pulled it in, and discovered if was the body of a man. It
was floating face downwards, and when it came ashore the grapnel had
hold of it by the hand. He did not know who it was until he was told. He
was quite dead when they put him into the boat. When they got him ashore
they sent for the police, and the body was removed to the place where it
was then lying (the old Fish Market.) The body was found above the
bridge, and about 20 yards from the Melcombe side. No interference with
the body took place from the time it was got ashore till the police
came, who searched the body. P.C. English (W.4) said he was on duty that
morning about half-past six, at the station, when he received
information of a corpse having been found in the water. He immediately
went to Mr. Ferry's workshop and saw Charles Ferry, his nephew, and the
boy who gave the information; and near the quay wall they got a boat and
laid the body in it.
