From the Borough of Greenwich Free Press, 5 June, 1858.

STOREKEEPER AT WOOLWICH.

On Thursday afternoon an inquest was held at the "Ordnance Arms tavern," Beresford-square, Woolwich, before Mr. C. J. Carttar, on the body of Mr. Francis Pellatt, principal Military Storekeeper at the Royal Arsenal, who died from the results of an accident which occurred on the previous Monday evening.

Mr. Wm. Baker deposed, that on the evening of Monday last, about a quarter to 9 o'clock, he was at Green’s-end, Woolwich, when he saw the deceased driving his horse and chaise towards his residence at the Royal Arsenal. The up train, which leaves the Arsenal station of the North Kent Railway at 8.46 a.m., was, at the time, passing under the bridge which crosses the main street, and the steam from the engine appeared to startle the horse which the deceased was driving. The animal rushed along at a gallop, and on arriving at the Plumstead-road the vehicle came in collision with a lamp-past, when the deceased and Mrs. Pellatt were thrown out with great violence. Witness assisted to remove the deceased and his lady to the residence of Mr. Coleman, the nearest surgeon, but the deceased was entirely insensible, and his head, which fell against the lamp column, was fearfully injured.

The jury after suggesting that the Railway Company should cover over the line with a roof of corrugated iron for a distance of several yards from each bridge which crossed a street of large traffic, returned a verdict to the following effect "That death resulted from an accident, which was caused by the horse which the deceased was driving becoming restive, from the steam arising from the engine of a train on the North Kent Railway."

The funeral of Mr. Pellatt will take place this day, with full military honours, as the deceased, in accordance with the recent regulations ranked ať Lieutenant-Colonel. The artizans and labourers of the several departments of the Royal Arsenal have forwarded a request to the authorities to be allowed to exhibit their respect for the deceased by attending the funeral, and it is expected the establishment will be closed for the day.
