Inquest
An inquest was held at the Star Inn, Newington by Mr.
R.M. Mercer (East Kent Coroner) on Saturday afternoon, touching the death of
Henry Wraight, who was found dead on St. Martin`s Plain.
Thomas Philpott deposed that he lived at 11, Military
Avenue, Cheriton. The previous day he was going to work, when he saw the body
of a man lying by a hedge on the Plain. Witness went up to the body, which was
lying on its left side. He gave information to the police, and the body was
removed to the Star Inn by P.C. Wright. Witness did not know the deceased.
P.C. Wright said he found deceased lying in the snow,
with his head partly under the fence. His feet were lying at an angle of 45
deg. from the fence. Deceased was not known to witness. He thought, according
to the footprints, that deceased was climbing over the fence when he fell over.
He was very scantily clad. He felt the body, which was warm. He searched
deceased`s clothing, but found no articles and no money.
Frederick Holt said he lived at 6, Dover Road,
Folkestone. Deceased was his uncle. He was 41 years of age and single. He was
formerly in the Navy, and latterly he had been working as an out-porter.
Witness saw deceased last a week ago. Witness could not account for deceased
being on the Plain.
Dr. A.J. Gore said he examined the body that morning.
There was a bruise on the left side of the forehead, near the temple, which
might have been caused by a fall. Death was due to collapse and syncope.
The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the
medical testimony.

Inquest
An inquest was held by Mr. R.M. Mercer (the East Kent
Coroner) at the Star Inn, Newington, on Saturday afternoon, on the body of
Henry Wraight, who was found dead on St. Martin`s Plain on the previous day.
Thomas Philpott stated that he lived at 11, Military
Avenue, Shorncliffe, and that on the previous day (Friday) at about one
o`clock, he was going to work, when he saw the body of deceased lying by the
hedge. He shouted out and went up to the body, which was lying close to the
fence, with his hand through it. Deceased was on his side, as if he had slipped
and fallen. His dress was not disturbed, and he had on a khaki coat, which
looked worn. His trousers and boots were not good. He did not know the
deceased. He informed the police, afterwards returning to the body, which was
removed to the Star Inn by P.C. Wright. He was alone when he saw the body,
which was lying in the snow. There was no snow on the body.
P.C. Wright deposed that he got to the body at about
1.30 on Friday. He found the deceased lying on the snow, with his head partly
under the fence or railings. His feet were lying at an angle of 45 degrees from
the fence. Deceased was a stranger to witness. He looked around the spot, and
saw footprints, and it seemed to him that deceased had tried to climb the fence
and had fallen over. What made him come to that conclusion was because no
footprints were to be seen on that side of the fence. Deceased was clad in an
old fawn-coloured jacket, which was very worn, and he had no underclothing on
at all. He made enquiries about deceased. According to the snow, there was
no-one there before, and the place was rather out of the way, being near to the
Volunteers` manoeuvring ground. He felt the body, which was warm, but he found
no articles on deceased, not any money in his pockets. The man had been a sailor
in the Navy for some time.
Frederick Holt stated that he lived at 6, Dover Road,
Folkestone, and he knew the deceased, who was his uncle. Deceased was 41 years
old, and had been in the Navy. He had lately been working as an out-porter, and
was very poor. Witness did not know where the deceased, who was a single man,
had lived lately. It was about a week ago when he last saw him. Deceased had
not been a sober man. He had had no business, or anything to do where he was
found. He (witness) did not know the place where the body was discovered.
Deceased had been an out-porter at the Central Station for about eight years.
Dr. Alfred Joseph Gore, a surgeon, of Bowood House,
Shorncliffe Road, Folkestone, deposed that he saw the body that (Saturday)
morning. There was one bruise on the left side of the forehead, near the
temple, and there was a dark clot of blood there, although there was no
abrasion. He (witness) thought that it had been caused through a fall. To the
left of the middle line there was another bruise, which was, possibly, caused
through falling, and turning over and hitting his head on the other side.
Deceased was a full-blooded man, and the vessels were diseased. The blow
received was sufficient to cause unconsciousness, and the exposure to the cold,
collapse, and syncope were the causes of death.
A verdict in accordance with the medical testimony was
returned.
