VSTRANGE DROWNING CASE AT Perry Barr

On Thursday afternoon a farm labourer of the name of John Hopkins, who was employed by Mr. Bayliss, of Old Oscott Farm was drowned in the moat in the grounds of Perry Hall, the residence of Lord Calthorpe.  It appears that about 3 o’clock he accompanied a shepherd, named George Cooper to the part to look after some sheep which was grazing there.  On arriving at the moat Hopkins remarked to Cooper that he was going to enter the water for the purpose of gathering some water lilies.  Cooper told him that the water was deep, and thinking that he could not swim; advise him not to go in.  However Hopkins commenced to undress, remarking that he was able to swim.  Cooper then left him; but before he had gone far he heard cried for help, on returning to the spot caught a glimpse of Hopkins just as he was disappearing for the last time beneath the surface of the water.  At once Cooper raised the alarm, and, with the assistance of the servants at the hall, he succeeded in getting the mat out.  Unfortunately life was extinct.  The body was then removed to the Old Crown and Cushion, Perry Barr, where the inquest will be held today (Saturday).

VTHE DROWING CASE AT PERRY BARR

Handsworth Herald, 22nd July 1893

The Deputy Coroner for South Staffordshire (Mr. F. W. Topham) held an inquiry on Saturday afternoon at the Old Crown and Cushion, Perry Barr into the circumstances attending the death of John Hopkins (36) a labourer who was employed by Mr. Frank Bayliss, of Manor House Farm, Oscott. Hopkins was drowned in the moat surrounding Perry Hall, the residence of Lord Calthorpe on the previous Thursday.  The first witness called was George Cooper a shepherd residing in Holly Lane and employed by Farmer Bayliss.  He, he said, known the deceased for about six months and had frequently worked in company with him.  But, up till his death, he only knew him by the name of

“Gentleman John”.

On Thursday afternoon witness had to go to the park at Perry hall to tend some sheep that were there grazing, and he asked deceased to go with him.  It then wanted a few minutes to three o’clock.  Hopkins consented to go, and they went to the park together.  Having counted and fed the sheep, they walked on in the direction of the moat.  Perry hall was a moated house, and the water was not very far from the building. On arrival at the moat Hopkins expressed a wish to enter the water, and obtain a number of water lilies which were grown in the centre.  Witness advised him not to go in; certainly to remain outside if he could not swim, as the water was very deep.  But he insisted upon going, declaring that he had been a swimmer from a boy.  Upon this witness left him and went to look after some cattle.  Shortly afterwards he heard

A CRY FOR HELP

From the direction of the moat, and at once ran there.  When he drew near to the moat he saw the water rippling and a pair of hands held upwards above the surface for a few seconds.  The hands then disappeared and no further sign of the presence of the body was seen.  Witness immediately entered the water, and waded in until the water rose to about his waist, and as he could go no further without being himself immersed, he got out and ran for a gate, a very large and heavy one, which was near by.  This he pushed into the water as near as possible to where he had seen the hands waving, thinking that if deceased should again rise to the surface, he would have something to catch hold of for support.  Witness then waited a short time, and as there seemed no probability of the body rising, he ran to the hall for help.  Seeing some workmen, he told them that “Gentleman John” was drowned and asked them to bring a drag if one was kept at the hall.  A raft was formed and on this sever men

FLOATED DOWN THE MOAT

Witness pointing out the spot where the body had sunk.  Witness had a rake with him, and one of the men had a long pole, and with these implements they brought the body up to the surface, and dragged him on to the bank.  He was then quite dead.  The whole of his clothing was found to have been removed, and left upon the bank before he entered the water.  In reply to questions, witness said that they moat about twenty yards wide, and some ten feet in depth. The body was found in about the centre of the water.  Mr. Alfred Land (foreman of the jury) asked whether Hopkins had ever tried to get the water lilies before.  Cooper replied in the negative.  A juryman said that Hopkins told him he intended to get some of the lilies.  The Coroner compliment Cooper upon straightforward and satisfactory manner in which he had given evidence, and added that all that was now needed to complete the inquiry was evidence to identify the body Edward Toway,

A BRAWNY IRISHMAN

Who lives in Holly Lane and who also is in the employ of Mr. Bayliss, identified the body as that of John Hopkins’ an native of County Mayo, Ireland, and known amongst his fellow-labourers as “Gentleman John”.  He had known deceased for about three years and had always found him a good tempered, steady man and one most unlikely to commit suicide.  Witness believed him to be a swimmer and remarked that once in conversation Hopkins told him that some time previous, when in a pool, he was seized with cramp and had it not been for a companion he would then have been drowned.  Witness was of opinion that this was the case in the present instance; that deceased had got to the centre of the moat all right and then fell a victim to a bad attack of cramp.  The Coroner thought there was no one to blame, unless it was the deceased himself for getting out of his depth; the death was evidently accidental.  The jury concurred in this view and returned a verdict of “Accidental Death”

Wm. Macdonald (17) and William Bayliss (16) of Perry Barr were charged with damaging telegraph insulators on the 9^th inst., at Perry Barr.  They were seen by a police constable throwing at the telegraph insulators and breaking six of them.  The Superintendent, who appeared on behalf of the post office officials, said they had suffered very much in that district of stone throwing.  Within fifty miles of Birmingham they had to replace about 4,000 insulators every year.  The bench considered that the nuisance ought to be checked and fined each defendant £1. 12s 9d or 21 days hard labour.
