THE CAPTAIN OF THE DIVER.
The day after the inquest, Sidney Bolton's body was buried in Gartley churchyard.

Owing to the nature of the death, and the publicity given to the murder by the press, a great concourse of people assembled to witness the interment, and there was an impressive silence when the corpse was committed to the grave.

Afterwards, as was natural, much discussion followed on the verdict at the inquest.

It was the common opinion that the jury could have brought in no other verdict, considering the nature of the evidence supplied; but many people declared that Captain Hervey of The Diver should have been called.
