DEATH BY DROWNING. MORROW was proceeding to Caledon [Co Tyrone], with a prisoner, his attention was directed to the Callen river, where he found an old man drowned, almost two perches from the Callen river bridge, in a part of the river usually used for bathing. The Constable immediately removed the deceased from the water, and made every exertion to restore life, but without effect. We understand the name of the deceased was PINKERTON, and that he lived about a mile beyond Tandragee. He had slept in Armagh the night previous, and had gone to the river on Friday morning for the purpose of bathing. He was about 83 years of age. In the absence of Mr. HENRY, Coroner, an inquest was held on the body by THOS. KIDD, Esq., J.P., and a verdict of accidental drowning returned.
