UNION-HALL. -

      There have been such numerous and daring robberies committed in the counties of Kent and Surry [sic], that the officers of Union-hall, with assistants, have been sent down to watch in the woods (where it was supposed the thieves retreated), and in the roads where it was likely for the robbers to pass.  In the course of a fort-night there were near 40 robberies committed in both counties in the night-time, and the officers at last secured a notorious bad character named Mitchell (now in Horsemonger Lane goal), he was connected with a gang, consisting of the 2 Brays, George and James, a man named Hood, himself, and another man.  Mitchell informed the officers where they might be found.  He stated, that they lived like gipsies [sic] in a tent, in the neighbourhood of a wood, some distance from their mother, Mrs. Bray, of Widmore and that they pretended to live by charcoal burning, and were up at night to watch the process of the buring, but instead of minding the charcoal they were going about the country committing robberies.

      On the arrival of the officers, they learned that a sister of these desperate characters had lived servant with Mr. Bird and it was supposed that the persons who committed the murders must have had a knowledge of the habits of the family.  On Wednesday night part of the police officers returned to town, with the young woman, Sarah Bray, who lived with Mr. Bird, in their custody;  and yesterday morning, Mrs. Bray, her mother, was brought to town on a charge of robbery.  She and her daughter were examined before W. Wells, Esq. Magistrate for Kent and Thomas Evance, Esq., at Union-hall police office, yesterday afternoon.  They were examined separately. - The following is the substance of their evidence: -

      Sarah Bray, daughter of Mary Bray, of Widmore, near Bromley, in Kent, aged 15 years, servant to Mr. Levalt, said, that when she was of the age of 13 years she went to live servant to Mr. Bird, of London-street, Greenwich, who has been lately murdered, together with his housekeeper, Mary Simmons.  She continued there nine months, during which time Mrs. Bird died, and Mary Simmons, who had been there about eight years, remained as housekeeper, during the remainder of the time she lived in Mr. Bird's house.  A Mr. Downing used frequently to call and see Mr. Bird, and a man sometimes came to see Mrs. Simmons;  she questioned Mrs. Simmons about him, and she said he was her brother;  this was in he summer of 1815.

      Her mother came to see her at Mr. Bird's during the time she lived there, first by herself, and then with her sister, Ann Craker.  Her brother, George Bray, came to see her, and no other relative or acquaintance.  She had four other brothers, three of whom are older than George, and one younger;  they never came to see her during the time she lived with Mr. Bird.  About three months after Mrs. Bird died, Mr. Bird paid her wages, having no further occasion for her services, and she went home.

      Her eldest brother is named Edward, he is about 30 years of age;  John, the next, is about 26, and James is about 21 years of age;  Samuel the youngest, is about twelve years of age;  they have all been brought up as farming labourers.  On Monday night she first heard of the murder of Mr. Bird and Mrs. Simmons.  She saw her brother James at her mother's about three weeks ago;  she saw George there last Sunday afternoon; - she had not seen John for two years, and it is nearly five years since she saw Edward.  She called on her mother on Saturday evening last about dusk and saw her brother George;  he was dressed in a dark round frock.  A man named William Hood was a companion of her brother, and frequently visited her mother.

      Mary Bray, widow, mother of the last witness, deposed on oath, that her daughter, Sarah, lived with Mr. Bird, at Greenwich (who has been murdered), for nine months;  about 18 months ago, deponent's son George went to see Sarah during her residence with Mr. Bird, but neither of her other sons ever went to her knowledge.  After Sarah Bray left Mr. Bird, she went to live with Mr. Abrahams, a silversmith, at Greenwich.  Witness went to see her twice at Abraham's;  the last time she was accompanied by a man named Wm. Hood, who was a sailor, and who afterwards went for a soldier.  He afterwards worked with Mr. Mosier, a farmer, at St. Mary's Cray.  Deponent's son George was at her house at Widmore on Saturday night and on Sunday morning;  he did not go out of the house, except to draw water from a well close by till between 9 and 10 o'clock;  did not see her daughter, Sarah Bray, on Saturday;  saw her on Sunday afternoon;  has not seen her three eldest sons, John, James, and Edward, for the last three months.  She was certain that she had not seen her son James for more than three months.

      The prisoners were ordered to be kept in custody.  The officers are still in pursuit of the Brays.

MYSTERIOUS CASE OF MURDER!-

      On Wednesday se'nnight the body of a young woman, apparently about 26 years of age, was discovered floating in the river Medway, at East Barming.  It was taken out of the water a shocking spectacle, and deposited in an outhouse on the premises of Mr. Golding.  On the following day an inquest was held at the Bull Inn, before James Ottaway, Esq., Coroner, when the body was inspected by the jury, and examined by Mr. Coleman, surgeon, who were all clearly of opinion that the deceased had been wilfully murdered.  It was supposed that she had been in the water nearly a fortnight;she was completely dressed, except that, from the effect of the water, part of her clothes had become rotten and wasted away.

      The deceased had no pockets on, nor any thing about her to denote who she was, or from whence she came.  Under these circumstances the Coroner advised an adjournment of the proceedings until Saturday, and in the mean time to give public notice of what had occurred, that the friends or relatives of the deceased might come forward with further information Handbills describing the person and dress of the deceased were promptly and extensively distributed in all the western parts of the county.

      On Saturday, at 1 o'clock, the Coroner's inquest again met, but although crowds of people had been to look at the body, no further material information transpired.  The jury without hesitation returned a verdict of - "wilful murder against some person or persons unknown."From the dress and appearance of the deceased, it is thought that she had been a servant in a respectable family.  Upon the right temple was a most severe wound, apparently inflicted by a hammer, or some blunt instrument;  and upon the head being opened, a great deal of extravasated blood surrounded the wound;  there was also other bruises on various parts of the body. - Maidstone Gazette.

On Saturday last an inquest was held at the Grayhound Inn, Hadlow, before James Ottaway, one of the coroners of the County, on the body of the 13-month old son of Richard and Sarah CLARK, labouring people of HADLOW. It was reported that the mother had been feeling unwell and sent a 10-year old girl to the local grocer's shop for six pennyworth of "Godfrey's Cordial" to settle the baby boy. The girl asked for "sleeping stuff" and the grocer sold her three pennyworth of Laudanum, supposed to be from 80 to 100 drops. This was adminstered incautiously to the infant, who died the following morning. [The coroner's verdict was not given in this report].

CORONER'S INQUEST.

      An inquest was held yesterday at Guy's Hospital, Southwark, before Thomas SHELTON, Esq. on the body of William POCOCK, a Dartford carrier, killed in Tooley-street by a brewer's dray passing over him.  Thomas WIX, of George-street, Kent-street, Borough, porter, deposed that on Monday evening last, between six and seven o'clock in the evening, he accompanied the deceased.  They were passing down Tooley-street, from High-street, on the right hand side of the way, when witness, having a parcel to deliver at No. 30, stepped smartly on to deliver it, and was about forty yards before the deceased when he heard a piercing cry, and on turning back saw him taken from the kennel close to the kirb [sic] stone, by two men, who assisted in conveying him to the hospital.  He was told a dray had passed over him.  The dray had been stopped and was standing close to where the deceased was picked up.  It was on the proper side of the way.

      The age of the deceased was fifty-four.  Believed him to be not quite sober at the time.  Never spoke after the accident, except to complain of agonising pain in the upper part of his thigh, and stating that the dray had passed over it.  Mr. FRANKS, Assistant-Surgeon of the Hospital, saw the deceased when brought into the house, on Monday evening.  The right thigh bone was fractured just above the knee, and there was another fracture on the haunch bone, which last, from the injury it inflicted on the abdomen, was the cause of death.  He died at 7 o'clock, on Tuesday night.

      VERDICT - Accidental Death, and a nominal deodand on the off wheel of the dray of 5s. ( the owner being unknown )

Margate, Sept. 17. -

A melancholy accident happened last night, at Broadstairs. Mr. ROGERS, of the firm of ROGERS, HORN, and Co., was with his wife in his own carriage, but for some reason not explained, he left his carriage, and put one of his horses into a buggy. The horse took fright and ran off with great rapidity. Mr. ROGERS was thrown out of the buggy on one side and his wife on the other. His head went against a wall and he was instantly killed; Mrs. ROGERS had one leg broken, and her knee was severely injured. The melancholy event was soon known at Margate, and excited much commiseration.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. -

      On Tuesday an inquest was held before the coroner for Kent, on view of the bodies of Mary, Elizabeth, and Eliza MUNNS, who came by their deaths under the following distressing circumstances:

      -John MUNNS, bargeman, deposed - On Wednesday week I left Erith in my barge, accompanied by my wife, two of my daughters, and eldest son;  on the following afternoon, near Sheerness, a squall came on, and the boat capsized.  My wife and two children were in the cabin, and it was impossible to render them assistance, although every effort was made to do so.  I was, with my son, saved by climbing up the rigging, and was discovered in that situation by some men in a boat.

      Verdict, "Accidental Death."  The barge was heavily laden with soil for Mr. ELLIS, the extensive hop-grower at Barming, near Maidstone.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT GREENWICH FAIR

On Monday afternoon, about three o'clock, a serious accident occurred to a young woman named Catherine JOHNSON, aged twenty-two, residing in Cloth-fair, Smithfield. The unfortunate young woman and a party of friends had proceeded to Greenwich for the purpose of enjoying the holidays, and in running down the Park, which was very slippery, she fell with great force upon the back of her head. She was instantly seen by a medical man, who was called for assistance, and by his advise she was placed in a cab and conveyed with all speed to one of the Borough hospitals. The poor creature had received so severe a concussion of the brain, that very faint hopes are entertained for her recovery.

THE CHOLERA IN THE METROPOLIS.

      Yesterday a coroner's inquest was held at the Royal Mortar Tavern, Woolwich, before Mr. C. J. CARTTAR, on the bodies of three prisoners, named RUTHERFORD, JONES, and BIDGOOD, the two former of whom expired on Saturday, the latter on Sunday, from the effects, it is alleged, of Asiatic cholera. -

      Mr. DABBS, the surgeon of the establishment, stated that the deceased died from the effects of epidemic cholera, but he would not pronounce any opinion as to whether it was Asiatic cholera.  A verdict of "Died from natural causes" was returned.

      We are happy to state that no new cases have shown themselves on board Justitia or Unite, and the only case that has terminated fatally since Saturday was that of BIDGOOD, who died yesterday.  The other men who were attacked by the disease are recovering.

A MILLER KILLED BY HIS OWN MILL SAILS.

On Thursday an inquest was held on the body of John MARSHALL, aged 26, a journeyman miller in the employ of Mr. H. SOMERFORD, of Borstall Mill, Whitstable. Mr. SOMERFORD stated that he saw the deceased at noon on Monday, and sent him a short distance on an errand; about a quarter of an hour afterwards he found him lying insensible on some sacks near the door of the mill, his cap being close to the sweeps. It was his impression that the deceased must have been struck on the head by the sails. Deceased was found to have an extensive fracture nearly seven inches long at the base of the skull, and also about four ounces of blood extravasated on the surface of the brain.

Verdict, "Accidental death". It appears that a man named CARR nearly lost his life a few years ago, and a cow was seriously injured at the same mill, owing to the dangerous lowness of the sails. - Cambridge Journal.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.

      On Thursday, Mr. W. S. NEVE and a highly respectable jury met at the Railway Hotel, Headcorn, to inquire into the circumstances touching the death of John BINGHAM, a plate-layer, who was accidentally killed on the morning of Wednesday last.  It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Stephen CARD, the inspector of the permanent way, that the deceased had, owing to the late heavy floods, been employed near the Kelsham Bridge viaduct.  On Wednesday morning, shortly after seven o'clock, John WIDDES, a plate-layer, found the deceased in the water close to the bridge quite died.  There were marks, he stated, about a foot from the outside of the rails, of his having tripped from there into the water.  His skull was very much fractured.

      Henry FAGG, the driver of the Ramsgate goods' train, stated that he left Tunbridge shortly after one on the morning in question, and met the up goods' train just under the second bridge from Headcorn.  He saw no one on the bridge, and no signal light, nor was he conscious that the engine had struck anything.  He was going at the rate of from fourteen to fifteen miles an hour.

      Richard TICKLE stated that he was driving the up goods' train from Dover to London on Tuesday night last.  He left the Headcorn station at a few minutes after two o'clock, and saw shortly after passing the Kelsham Bridge, that a man was standing on the outside of the down line showing a white signal lamp.  Was of opinion that if he had stood in the same position in which he saw him he would not have been struck by the down train.  The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death". - Morning Chronicle.

      On Monday afternoon some fishermen of HASTINGS saw the body of a woman floating on the water about three miles off that town.  William SPICE, a fisherman, was cruising upon the day in question, when his attention was attracted to an object in the water;  it proved to be the body of a woman, which, as soon as possible, was taken on board.  The body was attired in nothing but a chemise, a nightgown, two petticoats, stockings, and boots.  The fisherman returned to HASTINGS, and forthwith handed the deceased over to the care of Inspector CAMPBELL.

      An inquest was held at the Town Hall, and the fisherman, SPICE, having mentioned the circumstances, Mr. J. PAIN, of 2, Park Terrace, Oldford Road, LONDON, deposed that he had seen the body of the deceased, which he recognised as being that of his sister Eliza, who had married Captain BUTTERWORTH, the late commander of DALHOUSIE.  Deceased was thirty-four years of age, and witness recognised the rings taken from her as those she had been accustomed to wear.

      A verdict of "Found drowned" was returned.

      The body of a woman has been washed up on the beach of DYMCHURCH, which is supposed to be one of DALHOUSIE's passengers.  She is described as being about fifty years of age, and her linen marked "M. A. U.".  They correspond with the initials of the late Mrs. UNDERWOOD, and it is thought very probable that the remains are those of that ill-fated lady.  A gentleman who was well acquainted with the family has gone down to identify the body.

      As yet nothing has been heard of the spar to which Miss UNDERWOOD, Captain BUTTERWORTH, and several others were lashed.  Quantities of wreckage are being cast up between HASTINGS and DUNGERNESS.  The master and crew of the schooner WILLIAM, of EXETER, have made a statement, denying the charge that had been laid against them by Joseph REED, the survivor of the DALHOUSIE, to the effect that they bore away from the wreck without rendering the least assistance to the sufferers.

FATAL FALL FROM A CLIFF AT MARGATE

      Yesterday an inquiry was held in the Town Hall, Margate, before Mr. W. H. PAYNE, coroner, touching the death of a young man belonging to Broadstairs, named Archibald HILLIER, who came by his death by falling over the cliff on the sea shore, a short distance from this town, while in a state of intoxication.  Evidence of identification of the body having been given, a youth named John ADAMS was sworn, and he deposed that on Sunday morning about half-past 5 o'clock he was walking along the sand at the foot of the cliff, when he came upon something which he thought to be a piece of wood, but upon taking hold of it he found it was the body of a man, quite dead, and lying on its face.  Assistance was obtained, and the body was conveyed on a stretcher to Margate.

      John TULLY, a corporal in the Life Guards, said he was staying at Broadstairs.  He knew the deceased, and was with him on Saturday afternoon.  They left Broadstairs together and walked to Margate, where they visited some friends of the deceased, and had some beer at a public-house.  When they left the latter house it was about 8 o'clock in the evening, and having met with a friend ( also in the Life Guards ) witness went with him to another public-house, expecting the deceased would follow, but he did not, and he saw no more of him.  Witness believed deceased was sober when he last saw him, he had drunk only three glasses of beer and one of gin and peppermint.

      William BASS, a boatman in the Coastguard service, stationed at Newgate, near Margate, deposed that on Saturday evening about half-past nine he was on duty, and saw the deceased near the Clifton Baths, situate on the cliff.  He spoke to him and found he was the worse for drink.  Deceased asked witness the way to Broadstairs, and he told him there where two ways---one by the cliff, and the other by the road;  but it would not be safe for him to go by the cliff, because he was not capable of taking care of himself, nor did he know the road.  Witness then pointed out to deceased the road inland, and he proceeded in that direction.

      Mr. H. THORNTON, surgeon, proved that he had examined the body of the deceased, and the marks of violence thereon were several abrasions on the face, which was also much congested.  There was a compound fracture of the left arm, and a dislocation of the elbow.  He considered the cause of death was concussion of the brain, and the shock by the fall generally.  The Coroner summed up the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of "Accidentally killed by falling from the cliff."

SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT NEW-CROSS STATION

Mr. PAYNE held an inquest at Guy's Hospital respecting the death of Edward James KNIGHT, an artilleryman, aged twenty years, who lost his life under the following circumstances:-

He got into a train at Charing-cross to Woolwich. While on the journey he fell asleep, and upon reaching New-cross Station awoke, thought he was at Woolwich Station, and whilst the train was in motion jumped out of the carriage, and fell between the platform and the step of the carriage. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death".

At an inquest held at Maidstone, on the body of Mr. SMITHERMAN, who was killed on Boxing-day while attempting to cross the line at East Farleigh, at a level crossing, the coroner's jury attributed the accident to the culpable negligence of the railway authorities. The jury also censured the company for not proving proper means for crossing the line, and recommended that steps be taken to supply the deficiency in that respect.

An Awkward Discovery,---

At an Inquest held last week at ROCHESTER, on a man who was drowned in the Medway, the deceased was positively identified as one William CLIFFORD, and in that name he was buried. Yesterday, however, the real William CLIFFORD turned up, having been for some time an inmate of a hospital, and unacquainted with his reported death. Who the drowned man is remains a mystery. [Not connected to our research. But, a possible registration for his supposed death is Sept. Qtr. 1880, MEDWAY, 2a, 277. His age is shown as 54.]

THE SMITHERMAN APPEAL CASE

      The committee of the SMITHERMAN DEFENCE FUND brought their labours to an end at Maidstone on Friday evening, when Mrs. Mary SMITHERMAN was publicly presented with the sum of 750 pounds, the protracted litigation between herself and the South Eastern Railway, - who, it will be remembered, was sued by her for damages consequent upon the death of her husband - having at length been brought to a close.

      On Dec. 26th 1878 Henry SMITHERMAN, a journeyman painter, was killed at a level crossing at East Farleigh, being knocked down by an engine and tender which ran through the station in advance of an ordinary train, for which Mr. SMITHERMAN was a passenger.  The company was sued by Mrs. SMITHERMAN, and a jury at the Maidstone Assizes awarded her 900 pounds as damages.  The Divisional court, on appeal, set aside this verdict, and a protracted litigation followed, the poor widow's case being taken up by the working classes of the country.

      Subsequently the matter was referred to Mr. BIRON, Q.C.. who awarded Mrs. SMITHERMAN 500 pounds damages, and a similar amount as costs, and the whole of the costs incurred by the widow having been paid, the balance of 750 pounds remained, which was on Friday evening handed over to her.

An inquest was held at Ramsgate on Tuesday on the body of Ambrose Charles MARTIN, belonging to a training ship of the navy stationed at Portsmouth. Accompanied by two young man-of-war's men, MARTIN went into Minster Court-lane, near Minster, and climbed up one of the large trees growing there. When about 30ft. high he slipped from a branch, and fell to the ground, sustaining a compound fracture of the thigh and internal injuries. He was conveyed to the Seamen's Infirmary at Ramsgate, where he soon after died. A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned.

29 Oct 1917 - A COLLISION IN THE AIR

An inquest was held in Kent on Saturday on the body of FLIGHT LIEUTENANT ARTHUR FRANK BRANDON, R.N., who was killed as the result of a collision in the air on the previous evening. Evidence was given that Lieutenant BRANDON had been acting as an instructor in a formation flight in the afternoon. After tea he went up alone to test engines. When 500ft. up, another machine descending to the aerodrome struck the right wing of his machine, which fell to earth. A verdict of "Death by misadventure" was returned.
