Stag hunted to lake and boat chase at Kerry note
A stag pursued near Lord Kenmare’s property reaches the lake and is forced back to land by hunters, rowers, and dogs. He dives twice, then a third time before Counsellor Leahy’s boatmen capture him as the Kerry sports scene shifts to a wagering boat disaster on the Thames. A coroner’s inquest at Nine Elms Battersea reviews the death of George James Rogers, aged twenty nine, a tobacco firm partner, with testimonies about the boat, wager racing, and lack of death causes. A verdict returns death unknown with no violence seen, urging names and addresses for boat hires and stricter regulations.
