"CORONER'S INQUESTS.
AN inquest was held by the City Coroner on Sunday, at the Canterbury Arms Inn, Canterbury, on the body of a woman named Sarah Bennett, aged seventy-four years. Deceased resided with her husband near Canterbury, and supported herself and husband by carting wood to Sydney. On Thursday evening she went to the Union Inn, O'Connell Town, with a load of wood and left on her return at four o'clock. About half-past five, she was observed passing the Stanmore Hotel, three miles from Canterbury. Nothing more was seen of her until Friday afternoon, when her dead body was found in a quarry, which is now filled with water, Canterbury bush. The horse and cart were found at a distance of 300 years from the quarry, with one of the wheels entangled with the branches of a tree. It is supposed she was unable to extricate the cart and therefore went in on to Canterbury for assistance, and whilst doing so fell into the water and was drowned. The jury returned a verdict of Died from suffocation by drowning; and in a rider expressed their opinion that the water-hole in which deceased was drowned ought to be fenced in. The husband of the deceased is now eighty three hears of age, and is one of the few surviving veterans of the Peninsular War, He is still healthy although a cripple for many years past. He served in the 20th Regiment during the whole of the Peninsular War, and afterwards, for a number of years, was employed as a night porter at Windsor Castle during the reign of the III and IV Georges."
