as Mr. Cubitaon, an invalid gentleman, was driving
a horse and phaeton past the Bear Hotel, Charnham•
street on his way to this town, the horse made a
sudden turn to go into the Boar Yard, when a boy
about twelve years old named Edward Stagg, the
son of the ostler, was near the gateway with a little
girl, his sister about four years old. The boy while
endeavouring to get his dieter out of the way was
struck by the shaft of the vehicle in his head and
knocked down against the wall, the horse falling on
him. When eztncated blood was flowing from his
mouth, nose, and ears, and he was severely bruised
about the body. Medical attendance was procured
immediately, but the boy was pronounced quite
dead, The girl received is severe fracture of the
collar bone and several other bruises. We under-
stand she is going on favourably. An inquest was held
on the body of the boy on the following day by W. B.
Whitmarsh, Esq., coroner, at the Bear Hotel, Charu-

adduced, mid the jury returned a verdict of "
