  • Fatal Case of Military Flogging at Hounslow
    Fatal Case of Military Flogging at Hounslow. 395 Art. IX.- -Fatal Case of Military Flogging at Hounslow. The Inquest.?Thursday evening, at eight o'clock, a highly respectable jury of thirteen inhabitants ot'the parish of Hooton were empanelled be- fore Mr Wakley, M. P., in one of the parlours of the George the Fourth Inn, Hounslow Heath, to inquire into the circumstances attendant upon the death of Frederick White, aged 27 years, a private of the 7th Royal Hussars, whose death, it was alleged, had been caused by the effects of the corporal punishment he had received under an order of court-martial. The room was crowded to excess by the respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood, and the officers of the regiment, anxious to witness the proceedings. Thirteen jurors having been sworn, and Mr J. Bond appointed foreman, th? coroner accompanied them to the barracks, which was about half-a- mile distant, to view the body of the unfortunate deceased. It was in the coffin, and on being turned round on its face, the back, from the nape of the neck down to the loins, presented a deep purple appearance. In the middle of the back, between the shoulders, where the greatest inflamma- tion had evidently been, a great piece of skin, nine inches one way and eight inches the other, had been cut away. The coroner inquired where the skin was, and by whom it had been cut off, and it was replied it had been cut off by Dr Reid, who had been sent down by the Horse Guards to perform the post mortem examination of the body, and it should he looked for- Much delay was occasioned by the search, and eventually a piece of skin was brought, which, however, was not a fifth part of the whole.

  • Traffic Noise Maps of Public Parks in Hounslow May 2018
    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Hounslow May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Hounslow 1 1. Beaversfield Park 2. Bedfont Lake Country Park 3.
