SIR, 
As your ufeful and entertaining Mifcellany 
maintains a very extenfive circulation though- 
out every county in the kingdom, I am in- 
duced, from this confideration, to tranfmit you 
the particular defcription of a perfon, unknown, 
found fuffocated and drowned in Seamill-dock, 
about 24% miles from the city of Briftol, within 
the tything of Stoke Bithop, and parith of 
Weftbury -upon- Trim, which may probably 
meet the eye of fome relative or acquaintance 
of the deceafed, 
Early in the afternoon of Friday, the 29th 
day of September laft, information was fent me 
by two gentlemen, that in their walk along the 
banks of the river, leading from the Hotwells 
to Seamill-dock, they were defirous of taking 
a furvey of the old ruins of the dock (formerly 
a place in great repute) when cafting their eyes 
over the, wall, in an obfcure corner, they taw 
the body of a man above the furface of the 
water, then flowing out, requefting the attend- 
ance of the parith officers to take charge of it, 
I immediately fent for the overfeer of the poor, 
and, with my fervant, attended him to the {pot 
where the man was found. In the mean time, 
the gentlemen had hailed a boat going down the 
river, it being then about half-tide out, and 
prevailed on them to row into the dock, to 
make the body faft to an old ladder, that ftill 
remains again{ft the wall, under the ruins of a 
crane; and in this ftate I found him. The 
tide had now flowed out below the body, and 
afforded me an opportunity of taking a particu- 
lar furvey of him. The attitude in which he 
lay drew my attention: his left leg was funk 
in the mud up to his knee, his right Jeg was 
but little immerfed; his body bent forward in 
a ftooping poiture, and his arms extended as far 
as he could reach, as if in the aét of faving 
himfelf from farther immerfion inthe mud. It 
appeared evident to me, that no accidental fall 
could poffibly leave a man in that fingular pof- 
ture; and I fufpeéted that he had purpofely 
jumped off the dock wall, about twenty feet 
hich from the mud, at ebb or fall of the tide, - 
when the water was fhallow over the mud. 
With fome difficulty the body was got out, 
and on the following day an inqueft was taken: 
the jury returned a verdidtt—<* Found drowned 
and fuffocated, but by what means no evidence 
appeared before them.’? ‘The perfon was well 
dreffed, but nothing found in his pockets, ex- 
cept a fmal] miniature portrait of a lady, care- 
fully wrapped up in paper, and tied round with 
filk 3
