The Bone House…
The Morning Chronicle: 21 January 1831
On Sunday evening, as two men were driving at a furious rate through Woolwich in a one-horse cart, the wheel came in contact with a post and overturned them.
On several persons going to their assistance, the men scampered off, leaving the cart and horse behind them.
On searching a sack the dead body of a man was discovered, which proved to be the one that was placed in the bone-house preparatory to a Coroner’s Inquest, the individual having been drowned.
The horse and cart still remain unclaimed.
