Os Tuesday, the lith instant, neer 6 o'clock in the even-

with my daughter Mary, aged three years, and It was not
dark. I was on the left hand aide going to Brixton. I saw
two omnibus' coming along, going is the same direction.
One wee a short distance behind the other. I put up my
hand to hail the first omnibus, which stopped, and I stepped
down Into the road with my child to get into that omnibus,
but the driver of the other omnibus whipped bin horses end
drove upon the right hand of the omnibus that I wee going
is get into, to drive past it on that side. There was hardly
room, I think, for him to pus. The pole of his omnibus
struck me on the forehead and knocked Me down. I had the
child by the hand, and she fell or was knocked down at the
same time. The horses and the omnibus passed over me
without touching me, but when 1 was picked up I found the
child was lying on the ground, screaming. She was taken
to a surgeon's, BEd from there was conveyed to Guy's Koe-
ppel, and there I found that the flesh was cut from her left
leg all the way down the outside of the thigh to the knee.
She remained at the hospital, and died there this morning at
2 o'clock. . . . .
