JOSEPH GOBLEY

LAMENTABLE DEATH FROM DESTITUTION.
ANOTHER ALLEGATION OF WORKHOUSE INHUMANITY.

Another melancholy case of death from destitution, involving a charge of inhumanity against workhouse officials, was investigated at a late hour last night by Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy-coroner for East Middlesex, at an inquiry held at the Marquis Cornwallis Tavern, Curtain-road, Shoreditch, upon the body of Elizabeth Wilmot, otherwise Lloyd, aged forty-nine.
Thomas Wilmot, 61, Charlotte-street, Old-street-road, said the deceased had been in ill-health for the last five months, and they had fallen into extreme poverty. Finding that with his utmost efforts he could not obtain for her proper food he sent her about six weeks ago to Mr. Rogers, the relieving-officer of St. Leonard's Union, for relief. Mr. Rogers called in three days' time, and although he saw the condition in which they were, he refused to give anything, and said "he could do nothing for them." She subsequently obtained a certificate from three respectable tradesmen, testifying to her good character and to the urgency of the case, but Mr. Rogers refused to submit it to the board of guardians, and handed it back. On Wednesday night he was awoke by her moaning, and he got her some water, but she died in his arms. If the workhouse officer had given the slightest assistance she would have been alive now. When he found her to be dead he took her from the mattress on which they were lying on the floor, and placed her in another corner of the room, and went back then to the mattress himself. No one heard of her being dead until the landlord came in and found the body. After the relieving officer said that he could do nothing for them he thought it would be no use to trouble the neighbours about her being dead, they being all no better off than himself.
Mr. Joseph Gobley said that on Saturday last he saw the landlord of the last witness enter the house, and finding a dreadful stench, he exclaimed, "Good God! what is the matter?" Wilmot replied, "It is only my old woman that is dead." The corpse was huddled in a corner, merely covered with an apron.
Mr. Waller, the coroner's officer, said that he found the place in a state of the most abject and squalid poverty. There was hardly an article in the house besides a couple of broken chairs and something shaken down in the corner as a bed. From inquiries he found that Wilmot was a shoemaker, and was very hardworking when he could get employment.
Dr. Burchell said that the body of the deceased was much emaciated. Death resulted from exhaustion, consequent on disease and want of proper nourishment.
The Coroner said that cases of this afflicting character were becoming painfully numerous. He should adjourn the court for the production of the relieving officer in question, and also for the purpose of hearing from the board of guardians a statement as to what standing instructions they had in force with reference to such cases.
The court was accordingly adjourned.

It would appear that Joseph Gobley was also publican of the Green Man Tavern in Shoreditch:

JOHN HARVEY

Another juror at the Kelly inquest was Mr. John Harvey, who just may be this gentleman, the new Royal huntsman, who would have been familiar with Prince Albert Victor's deer-hunting and dressing procedures. Also, please note the interesting date of the following article - as it is November 10, 1888.

SPORT.
CATCHING DEER IN WINDSOR PARK.

Hie we now to her Majesty's beautiful park at Windsor. Here we have Sketches by another Artist of catching deer in Windsor Park for the Queen's Buckhounds, which have this autumn commenced hunting under the new Royal huntsman, Mr. John Harvey. The Great Western Railway on Tuesday ran a special train down to Slough for the opening meet at Salt Hill. The Earl of Coventry and the Comte de Paris were present.

EDWIN STEVENS

SHOREDITCH JEWELLER'S SUICIDE.
MR. E. STEVENS' TRAGIC DEATH.

Mr. Edwin Stevens, who for some 36 years had carried on business as a jeweller in Shoreditch High-street, left his shop opposite the Church on Tuesday afternoon about two o'clock. There was nothing suspicious about his departure, and the assistants merely thought he was going out on business in the usual way or to his home at Graham-road, Dalston.
Later in the day came the sad news that the body of Mr. Stevens had been recovered from the Thames at Richmond, having been first seen by a Regent-street tailor out for a row. When found the body had apparently only been in the water about ten minutes, and an attempt was made to restore animation, but it was too late.

NOTHING BUT TRIFLING WORRIES.

Subsequently the manager, Mr. Carmichael, discovered a slip of paper on which the deceased had written, "Can't stand the worry. Goodbye." This statement has given rise to the rumour that things were in a very bad way, but Mr. Carmichael assured our representative that such was not the case. There were only a few trifling worries inseparable from modern business life, which could have been overcome with a little patience, and the old gentleman might have finished his life quite happily.
The body was identified by a sister of the deceased and by Mr. Allwright, who had been with him in the business for some years, and the inquest takes place at Richmond at 5:45 p.m. this (Friday) evening.
The deceased tradesman was of a very genial disposition, but of late years had been occasionally depressed by business matters. He was 66 years of age, and although he never interested himself actively in local affairs, his neighbours and fellow tradesmen held him in great respect. He left no family, and his wife died about eight years ago.

ABRAHAM CLEMENTS

CHARGES OF BURGLARY.

At Clerkenwell yesterday, Thomas King, 20, Edward Randall, 20, and William Jackson, 18, all of Windmill-street, Deptford, were charged, on remand, with loitering with housebreaking implements in their possession in Roseman-street, Clerkenwell, on the 29th ultimo. The prisoners, who were apprehended by Police-sergeant Daybell, had in their possession a screwdriver, a box of matches, a latch-key, a chisel, and a jemmy. The prisoners were now further charged with having on the 17th of May burglariously broken into the office at No. 1 Wharf, Great Northern Goods Station, St. Pancras, and with having stolen therefrom a coat, a rule, and other articles, the property of John Rogers, assistant-manager to the goods station. Still further charges were preferred against them of having broken into the Baron's Arms, Oldfield-road, Deptford, and with having stolen therefrom 120 cigars, nine penny stamps, and other articles, the property of Mr. Abraham Clements; and with having broken into the White Swan, Greenwich-road, and with having stolen therefrom 150 cigars, 5 pounds in gold, a shirt, and other articles, the property of Mr. James Randall, the landlord. Part of the proceeds of the above burglaries were found by the police at the house occupied by the prisoners at 18, Windmill-street, Deptford. King was wearing the shirt stolen from the White Swan, which was identified by the owner. Entrance was effected into the Baron's Arms by scaling a wall at the back of the premises, and forcing open a side window. Mr. Barstow again remanded the prisoners for further evidence.

HENRY DAWKES

DEATH OF MR. HENRY DAWKES.

The death of Mr. Henry Dawkes, Queen's-tax collector of High-street, Shoreditch, took place at his residence, Wood Green, on Tuesday night, November 20th, at five minutes to twelve. Mr. Dawkes had been ailing, but the sad termination came very suddenly and unexpectedly. Mr. Dawkes was 58 years of age, and leaves a widow, son, and two daughters. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, at Highgate Cemetery. Mr. Dawkes held the post of collector of Queen's-taxes for nearly 28 years, and the family has for a long time been connected with Shoreditch, his father having been connected with the old Trustee Board. The business in Shoreditch is still carried on by Mr. Henry Dawkes, the son, with whom, and the family, very deep sympathy is felt by a large number of the inhabitants of this district.

N.B. The information in the above death notice leaves one question still unanswered. Was the juror present at the Kelly inquest the previous year, the deceased man; or his son?

CURRENT EVENTS.

We regret to have to announce the death of Mr. Henry Dawkes, jun., of High-street, Shoreditch, which took place suddenly on Wednesday morning.

JOHN LLOYD

"NATIONAL PENSIONS FOR OLD AGE."

Continuing the course of lectures arranged by the Political Council of the Borough of Shoreditch Liberal and Radical Club, 43, New North-road, Canon Blackley addressed a public meeting on Wednesday last, on the subject of "National Pensions for Old Age." Mr. Hubbard, L.C.C., had arranged to speak, but County Council business kept him away, and Canon Blackley kindly volunteered his services at a moment's notice. Having made this subject a special study for upwards of twelve years, the reverend lecturer was not handicapped by the shortness of notice. On the contrary, the project was handled in a masterly manner in a speech bristling with pregnant fact and weighty argument, rendered more enjoyable by the racy anecdote and humorous illustration so frequently adopted. Having answered numerous questions, a short and lively discussion ensued, the compulsory character of any pension scheme being strongly insisted on by the various speakers. Eventually, a resolution affirming the necessity for "a well-considered scheme of State-aided national pensions for old age of a compulsory nature" was unanimously passed. Hearty thanks were accorded to the lecturer and Mr. John Lloyd, of the National Providence League, for their services, and a similar compliment was paid to the chairman, Mr. T.B. Chant, and Mr. Hall, secretary of the Political Council.

VISIT OF BELGIAN MINING ENGINEERS TO GREAT BRITAIN.

A party of forty-six members of the Societe des Ingenieurs sortis de l'Ecole des Mines du Hainaut, have arrived in England, on a visit to various parts of the Western Station by Mr. R. De Soldenhoff, Mr. Archicountry, and on June 27 they commenced their tour of inspection at Cardiff. The party were received at the Great bald Hood, Mons. Bregeon, and Mr. H. Huxham (hon. sec.), on behalf of the South Wales Institute, and conveyed in brakes to the Town Hall, where they were received by the Mayor (Alderman T. Rees) and Mr. Thomas Foster Brown (president of the South Wales Institute) and the members of the Council. After partaking of luncheon the party were conveyed to the Bute Docks, where, under the guidance of Captain Pomeroy, Mr. David Morgan, and Mr. Hunter, the visitors were afforded an opportunity of inspecting the various shipping appliances, especially the "Lewis Hunter" patent coaling cranes, by which a vessel may be loaded or discharged at three or more hatchways simultaneously, and which are capable of shipping 7,000 tons of coal in twenty-four hours. The party afterwards proceeded to inspect the Dowlais Iron and Steel Works, being received by the general manager, Mr. E.P. Martin. The blast-furnaces and engines were greatly admired, many of the visitors taking sketches of the ponderous machinery displayed. After seeing over the works, they were conveyed back to Cardiff by train, and proceeded to Barry Docks. Here the visitors had an opportunity of seeing the wrought-iron floating gates worked by hydraulic cylinders, and other interesting features of the docks. Returning to Cardiff, dinner was served at the Park Hotel at the invitation of the president and members of the South Wales Institute. The visitors resumed their inspection of the various large industrial enterprises near Cardiff on June 28, inspecting on that day the Great-western Collieries, the Llwynypia Colliery, belonging to the Glamorgan Coal Company, the Dowlais Cardiff Colliery new sinking at Aberdare, Harris's Navigation Colliery, and the Cyfarthfa Steel Works. The party of mining engineers will visit successively, Crewe, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Loch Katrine, Glasgow, Sheffield, &c, returning to Brussels on July 5.

WILLIAM WORF

William Worf was another interesting choice in a juror, since he resided in Norfolk, and as most of my readers know, Sandringham House, where the Prince of Wales celebrated his birthday on Nov. 9/10, is also in the county of Norfolk. Could Mr. Worf have seen something in the early morning hours of November 10th, as he was tending to his farming duties? Is this why he was at the Kelly inquest?

The following tidbits are taken from Court and Society journals and newspapers and the reason I have posted them is to show very clearly that the Royal family travelled through East Walton to arrive at Sandringham House and would also go hunting and shooting at various estates and grounds surrounding the agricultural village of East Walton.
The fact that William Worf, the East Walton farmer, was present at the Kelly inquest becomes even more clear after reading the following extracts. This gentleman saw or heard or knew something pertaining to the Royal family and their activities surrounding the 9th and 10th of November. Could he have seen two gentlemen riders heading in the direction of Sandringham on the morning of the 10th? Remember, Mary's neighbour, Elizabeth Prater stated that on the morning of the 9th she saw two men saddling horses in the court at approximately 5:10 a.m.

Home News.

The meet of the West Norfolk pack was held at Sandringham on Wednesday, when the Prince joined the field, and the Princess was present in her pony-carriage. The royal covers, however, were blank, but a fox was eventually found, though, the scent being bad, there was a poor run. In the evening their Royal Highnesses gave a servants' dance in the new servants' hall. The Prince shot on Thursday and Friday, and on Saturday hunted with the West Norfolk hounds at East Walton. The Prince and Princess on Sunday morning attended church, when the sermon was preached by the Rev. W. Lake Onslow. The Princess of Wales continues to drive out daily in her small pony-carriage through the gardens and grounds and the neighbourhood. Her Royal Highness, who takes much interest in the children on the estate, was present on Monday at their examination in the parish schools, distributing to them their prizes. Her Royal Highness was accompanied by the lady guests at the house. Several of the clergy were also present.
