FATAL ACCIDENT AT BIDEFORD FROM BOATING
—On the afternoon of Saturday last, two young gentle-
men, clerks in the National Provincial Bank, named Perry,
recently from Birmingham, and Turner, son of Mr. Rd.
Turner, Abbotsham, left business for the purpose of •
cruise. It was at the time blowing very strongly from the
N.N.W., when suddenly • heavy gust filled the sail, and
capsized the boat, precipitating, of course, the young men
into the water. The catastrophe being observed from the
shore, Mr. Martin, Mr. Hammett, and others lost no time
'in rowing to their rescue. They soon reached the spot,
when they found the young man Perry clinging to the
boat, almost exhausted, his life being thus providentially
saved. The other was looked for, but he had sunk to rise
no more. The body was not found until Sunday night,
when it was taken to the London Inn, there to await a
coroner's inquest. On Monday morning a jury was em-
panelled, and a verdict of " Accidental death " was re-
turned. The unfortunate individual who has thus been the
victim to this sad fatality was 16 years of age, well grown,
and his intellectual capacities were promising the highest
order; ; he was the grandson of Mr. Richard Turner, of
Orange Farm, steward to 1.. W. Buck, Esq., M.P. for the
county.

DEATH OP A WHOLE FAMILY FROM GLANDERS.
—A whole family, named Uncles, residing at Maugherow,
near Lindell, have been swept away by glanders. The father
purchased a horse some time back at a fair in Mayo, infected
with this distemper; he soon afterwards took the disease
from the beast, then his wife and four children caught it,
and they all died in great agony. We have heard that two
girls, living at a place called the Windy Gap, about two
miles from this town, have also been lost by this dreadful
disorder.—Sligo Champion.
DEATH PROM A FALL INTO MOLTEN IhON.—Last
night an inquest was held by Mr. William Payne, at St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of Isaac Rust, a
moulder, in the employ of Mr. Grissell, of the Eagle
Wharf, City-road. On Tuesday evening last, the deceased
and another man made preparations for running a casting
from a ladle containing 2 tons 4 ewt. of molten iron. The
ladle was suspended by • chain from a crane having a
double handle on one side, and a regulating lever on the
other. At about the centre of the ladle was a pivot, on
which it worked for the purpose of being tilted into the
mould either on one side or the other. The deceased was
placed at the lever, and the man Smith had the manage-
ment of the tilting handles. All being in readiness, the
superintendent of the works (Mr. Hones) gave the order
to pour. As soon sea portion of the liquid iron had passed
into the runner or channel leading to the mould, about one
Ralf a hundred weight of the metal fell outside, and about
1 cwt. went into the runner, which immediately com-
menced splashing, and it was supposed that in consequence of
this Smith became timid and nervous, and in his alarm let go
the handles, leaving the ladle entirely to the mercy of the de-
ceased. The consequence was that the ladle immediately
turned over towards the deceased. In a moment afterwaro
be was precipitated on his back into the molten iron
Several witnesses were examined, who corroborated the',
main OAP, and they were closely questioned both by the
coroner and the jury as to whether there was •
sulkiest number of persons to manage the ladle, and
it was elicited that • second lever was attached to the ladle
and aan named Goold was seat to manage it, but Smith,
it was asserted, knocked it away, and said that if the ladle
had been worked by two hands before it could be done
so again. Upon the Goold went away, and had not
long done so when the ladle was upon. Mr. Archer, house
surgeon, said the deceased was brought into the hospital on
Tuesday night, very much burnt on both arms, back, and
head. He died at a quarter to one on the following day,
from the injuries received. The jury returned a verdict of
" Accidental death," accompanying it by a caution to
Smith bow he acted for the future, and recommending that
a request should be made to Mr. Grissell not to allow the
ladle to be waked again without the double lever.
