FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday afternoon, at the Marsh-
lane Station of the Southport and Crosby Railway, a ware-
houseman, named Pollit, who was going with a letter from
his master, Mr. Clements, jumped out of the train too soon.
His legs got entangled between the carriage wheels and the
platform, and he was dragged nearly two carriage lengths
along the line. He died almost immediately after being extri-
cated.
