BOAT ACCIDENT ON THE 11313.—A melancholy no-
eident, attended with the Ices of two lives, occurred about
nine o'clock on the night of Good Friday, in Sandford
Pound, near Osford. Five young men (draper's usistants)
in the afternoon of that day engaged a two-oared pleasure-
boat, capable of holding a dozen people, and went down the
Amu fu as Nuneham ; on their return home they had
te pass elareash 5e,..1G...1 Pound. and while waiting for the
hiund•keeper to open the 'hums the stern of the boat
tched to the woodwork of the pound, which is a strong
sort of trellis work, and before they could release her, and
while the pound was fast filling, the boat upset, and two of
the party, named Perrot and ?doysey, unfortunately, met
with a watery grave. Sandford Pound is the most danger-
ous one between Oaford and London, and although there
war not the slightest blame attached to the pound keeper, it
is to be hoped that in future he will, when pleasure boats
want to go through at night, insist upon every person
getting out before the boat enters the pound.
