1884

Star of Gwent. 3rd January, 1884
Drowned in the Usk

Mr. Brewer held an inquest at the Bridge Inn on Monday, on the body of a young man, unknown, aged about 24 years. The deceased went down to the Tredegar Boat Company's wharf on the previous night, evidently the worse for drink, and tumbled into the water. Efforts were made to save him, but they were of no avail, and the body was found under the bows of the steamer. A verdict of "Accidentally Drowned" was returned.
