CHILDREN KILLED WITH HARTSHORN AND On.
—Yesterday Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the Lord
Wellingten,Univereityctraet, Tottenhamoourt-road, touch-
ing the death of Thomas Gammon. the Wait son of Mr.
Gunman. linen draper, dc., 133 and 134, Tottenham-
otsirt.road. It appeared from the evidence that a bottle
contalaing hartehorn and oil had been left upon the toilet
table of the nursery, and during the absence for a few
minutes of the nurse, in charge of the deceased and of his
brother, a lad of about five years of age, the latter, ..ignorant
of the nature of the contents of the phial, and of what the
result would be, poured the fluid down the throat of tae
younger child, which expired soon afterwards in great
case would,
Wakley, in summing up, remarked that the
would, be hoped, be a warning to parents, Runes, Ac.,
who were in the habit of leaving dangerous liquids about
within the reach of children. Re also considered the
chemist who sold the hartshorn was censurable for omitting
to label the phial with the word " poison," as it appea
that neither the nurse nor the deceased's parents were aware
of the poisonous nature of the hartshorn. Verdist,
" Death by misadventure." Mr. Baker, the coroner, ye
&
terdsy held an inquest in a similar ease at the Royal Massa
Inn, Poplar, respecting the death of Ellen Wynn, aged II
months. On Sunday last the mother was suffering from
sere thrust, and procured some ha:tabors and oil !rasa a
chemist's shop. During the temporary absence of the
parents the child got hold of the bottle containing the
embrocation, and swallowed a portion of the contents. The
result was that she died next morning after intense suffer-
isg. The jury, in this ease also, returned a verdict at
" Assidontal death."
ENLISTMENT IN SCOTLAND.—Since the enlistment
bounty was raised to 81. per man, in November list, the re-
service has gone on very briskly in Scotland, and
:litm=y in Glasgow (the head quarters of the west
mushy), which has of late supplied a large body of fine
young mss to her Majesty's service. The enlistments in
elegem atom, for the East India Company's service, during
the last few months, have been 242—via., in January, 64;
February, 71; March, 43; sad April, 64. It appears from
the return, that Scotland is recruiting at the rate of more
than 6,000 per annum, and that if recruiting should goes
at the same ratio over England, Ireland, and Scotland go-
novelly, • total of upwards of 60,000 men would this year
be added to her Majesty's forme—Churn Herold.
WATERFORD AND LIMERICK RAILWAY.—The
directors and shareholders of this company had a meeting
on Saturday, in Limerick, for the purpose of deliberating on
the bill now before parliament—first, for the purpose of bm,
rowing additional capital to the amount of 120,0001., and
next for the joining with the Castle-Connell Railway Com-
pany for a lies from the station at Hilliness, on the Liniffilat
line to Castle Common. Both propositions were agreed to.
There were also meetings of the proprietary of the Lime-
rick and Boyne*, and the Limerick and. Ennis Reilwayt, far
the purpose of borrowing 6,0001. each to extend the batiste
the outer gate at Banbury, and also to snot aloes stelae
place suitable for a terminus, es contained in the same bal.

SINGULAR DRAM—The Bury POll reports an
accident, wnich, though of an ordinary kind, was, singu-
larly enough, attended with fatal consequences. Captain
Barker, an eccentric old gentleman, a resident of Norwich,
was returning home from a visit about 10 o'cloca at night,
when he was run violently against by a footman in the em-
ploy of a gentleman in the district. It was raining at the
time, and very dark. Both parties fell to the ground. The
footman had one of his teeth knocked out, and his nose and
lip cut, bat was able to scramble up immediately. The
captain, however, was found to be insensible, and though
able, when recovered, to walk hems, died two days after-
wards. A verdict of " Accidental death" was returned by
the jury.
