A Coroner’s Inquest was held before C. B. Longcroft. Esq., on Monday last, at the Coach and Horses, at Hilsea, on view of the body of Elizabeth Bassel, an old beggar-woman, well known in that neighbourhood, who was found drowned in Hilsea Pond on the preceding morning. It appeared that the deceased had been drinking to excess on Saturday evening, and was supposed to have got into the pond without being at all sensible where she was. Verdict — Found Drowned.

There’s a silent gap of 21 years between the Coach and Horses being brought into government ownership in 1813 and this reference. It’s possible that inquests were directed to the Battle of Minden until it closed, just over three years before this inquest. I do think the Coach and Horses was used continuously throughout the period of government ownership, but it would be nice to close that 21 year gap.
