The adjourned inquest at Great Yarmouth, on Thomas Greenhalgh Sutcliffe, master boot repairer, of 109a, Albert-street, Burnley, whose body was recovered from the River Yare, was concluded on Monday, no further evidence being given. Sutcliffe, and a Burnley girl, Edith Alston, aged 16, whose parents live in Hobart-street, Burnley, went, it was alleged, in the river together and the man was drowned. The girl was rescued, and was subsequently charged with attempted suicide and murder. Both bills were thrown out at the Guildford Assizes, and the girl was discharged. The coroner, on Monday, said he could only record a verdict of "Found drowned."
