The text recalls a drowning where a swimmer failed to reach a young woman lost offshore and she was not recovered. It also reports a murder at Uxbridge after a pub quarrel leading to a throat cut. Murray and Redrup faced magistrates as a coroner's verdict awaited. A separate case sees Parr, an eleven year old, charged with manslaughter after a fatal knife throw in a local dispute.
