A CHILD THROWN PROM A RAILWAY
CARRIAGR.

A shocking and mysterious affair has just
occurred at the town of Nuneaton, which is situate
some nine miles from Coventry. The Midland
Railway Company have a line for traffic between
Leicester end Birmingham, and trains running be.
tween theee places have to pass through a tunnel
some short distance from Nuneaton. On the day
in question two platelayers, named Edward Wilson and
Geo.ffeattergood, who are employed upon the line, had oc-
casion to passithrough the tunnel, just after the 3.36 train
from Leicester had passed. Before they had proceeded far
they observed • brown paper parcel, tied round with
a piece of cord, lying upon the ground, near the
off rail of the down line. On picking up the paned and
inspecting It they found it contained the body of a child.
Theeppearance which the parcel presented seemed to show
that it had been thrown from the train and had come in
contact with the wall. The men, alarmed at having made
such a discovery, prooeede 1 to the nearest station, and
left the body in charge of William Horton, station
master. It appears that they had gone through shetunnel
a short time before the train had pared, bet they saw
nothing of the parcel.
The inquest was held hat night at the Weavers' Arms
public•house, Nuneaton. A number of witnesses were
examined, and the medical evidence went to show that
the child had died from suffocation. The jury returned •
verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons
unknown."

A letter from Rome of the 4th says :—" Rome
is getting quite full of foreigners anidons to ems the
&Mee ceremonies, which begin with the dishibutiou of
prima by his Holiness, to-morrow, in Bt. Peter's. The
Manfro di Cowers is besieged for ladies' tides* but
some foreetieri seize the opportunity of getting quietly out
of Rome, and among them is the Duke of Northember•
laud, who leaves on Monday."
