FATAL ACCIDENT TO A CHILD AND NARROW

ESCAPE OF ANOTHER.
, On Thursday Mr. G. B. Aldridge, coroner, held sa
inquest at the Sloop lea, touching the death of Ella
Louisa Hart, aged two years, the daughter of Henry
Hart, a parlour, of Parkstone, who was rode over the
previous afternoon. The jury having been eworn, sad
Mx. Charles Atkinson chosen foreman, proceeded to
the house of the child's parents in the Ringwood.road,
near the Shah of Persia inn, to view the body.
On returning to the inn, the first witness called ow
Mr. William Pearcy, builder, of Poole. He stated
that on the previous afternoon he left home about two
o'clock to walk to Conatitution-hilL When near the
Shah of Persia Inn a van belonging to Mr. H. Burden,
of Loneliest. passed. It was very heavily bides,
Inside with bread and groceries, and outside with
sacks of meal and bundle. of stilt fish. He sbould
think the load was about two tons. He saw the an
stop opposite Mrs. Hart's house and a man delivered
some broad. He was then within 50 or 60 yards of
I the van, and saw two or three children plsying in the
ditch on the right hand aide of the road. He was
within a short distance d the van wheu it started,
and saw deceased and another larger girl get up from
the ditch; the lamest child ran up the road, but the
dammed ran towards the horses and got under their
feet, the near wheel passing over her liody. He did
not think both wheels pained over deceased. He heard
one ef two men in charge of the van call out just se
deceased was under the horses' feet. and the driver
tried to stop the horses before the wheels passed over
her. The horses had just started, and being a heavy
load, and the road on the incline, they had not got
into • trot; they were going at brisk walk. The van
was about in the midCb of the read at the time of the
accident, and the hones bads some 10 or 12 feet from
where the children were playing. One of the men. at
once jumped out of the van and picked up the child,
and handed her to the mother, who sat down by the
side of the road with her. The driver, he thought, did
everything he could to prevent the accident.
By a juror: It was about 15 yards from where the
van was standing to where the accident happened.
He should think the van moved about four yards site:
the driver tried to stop it.
By the Coroner: The van was a covered one, bet
the driver weld we to the right.
James Ballard said he was the driver of Mr.
Burden's van. On the previous day, about hapset
two o'clock, he Mopped the van at Mrs. Hares
to deliver bread. - Mr. Burrow, who wee with hut;
delivered the bread, while he remained in the v.sa te
take care of the horses. He saw two or three childres
playing on the bank opposite the house, and rural
came out with Mrs. Hart. One of the latter clukkes
touched the horse's hind leg., and he cautioned thmt.
not to do SO again. Restarted the horses at s Iv&

rounding he steered a good mune for home and won by
about a dozen lengths. Helper came in sewed, his
