TEE CHALK FARM FOOTWAY TO PRIMROSE HILL
PARIL—At the lest meeting of the North London Aoti-
Enclosure Society, 23rd insta,t, at Chalk Farm, Mr. Pries
in the chair, after a vote of thank, had hero given to H.
W. Weston, Esq , and the Cbsneery Bekaa Association, for
the gilt of the puolicatior• of such sesociation to the library
of tl. is society, the scandalous state el the abovenaeced footway
was again brought forward, especially certain port ions near the
Primrose Tavern, which is the lead excusable, the ground
landlord of the tavern being one of the very " Paving Com-
missioners," who era ballad by act of Parliament to compel
eh ground landlords to pave each bad wave.
SINGULAR CAUSE OP DEATH AT WEAPON-SUPER-
Mean.—Mr. 11.4bert fill, chief police ofli.er of the little
town of Weston-super-Man, Somereetsbire, has just met
his death under circumstances of a very peculiar cbarecter.
Some two or three years age the town wee frequently dis-
turbed by a numbsr of night brawlers, en t Hill, under the
direction of the commissiontre, exerted himself to put en
end to the disturbances On one occasion he was endeavour-
ing to prevent • breach of the peace, when a man named
Cann made a very ter .cious attack upon him with a knife,
inflicting • deep wound in the ofther's left side. At first it
was apprehended that the wound would prove mortel, bat
it at length yielded to medical treatment, and as tar as ex-
ternal memoriam could show was healed. Cann wee ep-
pt exausintd before the magistrates, and by theta
committed fur trial upon the charge of cutting and maim-
ing with intent to kill and n.urder. Fur this felony he was
tried at the ensuing county assism, found guilty, and sen-
tene.cl to seven years' transportation. Hill eentinued to
fulfil his police duties, end clthounh he fr. fluently com-
plained of weakness and pain en his side, he did not ley
up until seven or eight dale Waft, wh,,u be was .sited with
constipation of the bowels. Medical aid was called in, but
the disorder did nut yirid on this ooeseion to the treatment
employed; awl, Aft!, live or WI days acute fitattr;ge, the
unfortunate into expired. Mr. Mewling, the surgeon who
aiteoded him in his Wisest, made a post mottles examination
of the bony, when it was found that the wound iLeiCtell by
Cann bed penetrated completely through the diaphragm, and
the larger portion of the gnat onenium had passed through
it, and adhered to the costal pleura. Al much ea eight !set
of the smaller intratines had Tamed into the kit cavity of the
chest, as wed as the arch of the colon and the omeatum, and
then preuing anon the heart, had prevented the action of
that organ. An inquest will doubtless be held on the body,
sod it is thought that • carious legal gat/eh:ft may arise u
to whether Cons, he having been already convicted of the
minor offence, and punished fur IS, CAM now be charged mina-
nallEwith the greater crime.

WILTS, SOMERSET. AND WEYMOUTH RAILWAY.
Yesterday, the half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors
of this company wee held at Bath, Sir John Awdry, chair-
man of the company, presiding. The atteadance was very
small, the meetings of the proprietors having, since the sale
of the line to the Great Western Comp my, biomass mere
formal gatherings for the tzeosaetioa of th routine ton.intaa.
There was no report, but the ti,cretery, Mr. Wood, read
the cash account, from which it appeared that the total
receipts for the ball year had been 14,3931.14%. 2d., of which
14,3631. 18e. had been reeeived ea the ball year's annuity
from the Great Western Company. The Chairman they
said he had to report that the interest warrants were ready
and would be i sued immediately moat the retara of the
secretary to London. (Beer, bier.) Lieutenant-Colonel
Paippe and F. W. Slade. were the noising direct. re by
rotation ; the first gentlemen was egtble for reelection, but
F. W. filmic, , had pared with his interest fa the ootn•
pany, and was therefore proposed to offer the vacant seat
to H. G G. Ludlow, F,sq , the present high-shetiff for the
county of Wilts. (Hear, hear.) He moved, therefore, the
reelection of Lieutenant-colonel Poipps, and the election of
H. G. G. Ludlow, Esq., as members if the board of
directors.—The motion was agreed to naanimously.—Mr.
Mundy was reappointed auditor, and a vote Of thanks to the
chairman closed the badmen.
