ACCIDENTpartTO Hoe PlCKERS.—Yesterday morn-
ing, when • yof hop pi ckers were retuming to their
homes from -Farnham in • large waggon the horse took
fright. and • young girl named Crane and a boy named
Parrott were thrown to tee ground. Tho wheels of the
waggon passed over both, breaking the girl's right arm, and
inflicting serious injuries on the boy. The accident took
place on the Farnborough-road in the vicinity of Aldershot,
and on the military authorities at the camp being made
acquainted with its nature, they immediately ordered some
of the soldiers to obtain stretchers, and carry the poor
sufferers to the Camp Female Hospital, where they were
i attended to by Aseistant.Surgeon Mackenzie, under whose
I care they will remain till sufficiently recovered to be re-
, moved to their homes.
MYsTemors thscovemY.—Yesterday Mr. John
Humphreys, the Middlesex coroner, held an investigation.
at the Amherst Aims Tavern, Amhurst-road, Hackney,
respecting the discovery of the skeleton of a child in the
cellar of a house at Hackney. It appeared from the evi-
dence that the family of a stationer named Butley,
residing at No. n, Grove Villas, South Hackney, were
about removing to another house in the neighbourhood,
when • charwoman, the mother of the servant, found in
the cellar under the stain, • hamper tied with string,
and on opening it discovered therein the skeleton of a
child, wrapped in a piece of flannel. In the same cellar was
a hen which had been put there for hatching purposes.
According to her statement she told Mrs. Batley of the
dircovery, when she told the witness to put it away until
Mr. Butley went out, and afterwards asked whether it
cmild not be put in the duet-bin, or burnt. On being told
by the woman that the dust-bin was full, and that burn-
ing the skeleton would Callif) a dreadful smell, she said
never mind ebe would take it to their new house, and
bury it in the garden, where it would not be discovered.
Mn. Nutley, however, contradicted most of these
statements, explaining that she did not wish her hus-
band to be upset by the matter is he was not well,
and was going out when the discovery was made.
Her mother was deed ; she was 49 when she lied. She
had lived in a house with a Mr. Webster, • contractor.
They had not lived together as man and wife. They lived
in the same house for three years. He used to get tipsy,
and be behaved in an improper manner. Witness got her
mother to leave him. She did not know how the child
came there. It might have come with her mother's furni-
ture. Mr. W. H. Wright, divisional sur.;eon of police,
said that the child was brought to him at the station.
There was scarcely anything but the bones. The skull wag
not fractured. The cause of death it was quite impossible
to tell. Witness thought that the child was born six
months. The flesh had been eaten off the bones. In
reply to the coroner, this witness said that if the lien was
on short diet, it would feed off it. In consequence of the
discrepancy of the evidence, the coroner considered it
necessary to adjourn the inquiry.
