DEATH oF A YOONO WOMAN IN TOTTENHAM
MAY.,HYS.— On Friday morning a fine young woman,
respectably dad, was found in a brook in Tottenham
Man Les, with her face downwards. The body WWI cold
and rigid, and death had evidently taken place some
hours previously. Jesse Lawrence, the keeper of the
Tottenham Lock, removed the corpse to the local mortu-
ary, where it was examined by a medical man. It was
then ascertained that the young woman, who was ap-
parently about 20 years. of age, was far advanced in preg-
nancy. No marks of violence were visible upon the belly,
but it was evident that death had resulted from drown-
ing. (In Saturday the police succeeded in discovering
her name (Susannah Jackson), and some particulars
of her history. She resided with her aunt, •
respectable woman in humble position, at Orchard-
place Nursery, Tottenham. For some time past she
had been keeping company with • young man named
Pollington. On 'Thursday evening last she accompanied
him in a walk in the Tottenham fields. According to his
statement they parted on good terms, and he went home,
believing that she would return to her aunt's. He avers
that he bad no idea that she contemplated self-destruc-
tion, and that he knew nothing of her deathnntil he heard
of it from the police. This statement is, to a certain
extent, corroborated by the declaration of John Part-
ridge, • gentleman's groom, who says that he observed
the deceased alone in the marshes just before dawn on
Tuesday morning, not far from the spot where her body
was subsequently found in the brook. Upon searching
the pockets of the deceased the police found • number of
letter A addressed to her by her sweetheart, but they throw
no light upon her unhappy fate.
ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAIL-
NAT.—A collision of a somewhat alarming character
occurred on the Midland Railway, at the Wigston Junc-
tion, on Saturday afternoon. It appears that the express
train from Leicester to London left the former station at
its usual time, 1.45 p.m., and on nearing the junction some
short distance from the Wigston station the driver observed
a coal train iu front of him paring on to the Rugby line,
which branches off near this spot. The coal train had, it
seems, from some cause or other, been delayed at the
junction, but the driver anticipated clearing the Midland
line before the arrival of the express train which was then
due and the driver of the latter, seeing the oral train in
motion, would seem to have entertained the same opinion,
as lie slackened weed, but did not stop his train. The
consequence was that the engine of the express train
daubed into the rear of the coal train with considerable
violcw a, -mashing the guard's break and several wag-
gons. Fortunately the guard was out of his break
performing some nere,tary duty in connexion with the
train, ur lie must inevitably have been killed on the spot.
The rassisigers in the express train were eery much
shaken end greatly alarmed. The carriages of the express
train did not leave the metals, but both up and down line
were obstructed for • considerable time with the broken
waggrms and their contents. The
_greatest excitement
prevailed amongst the wsmigers. Messengers were in-
stantly despatched to Leicester for assistance, and an
engine and several carriages with a daft of workmen were
quickly at the scene of the disaster, and several medical
gentlemen of Leicester were summoned to be in readiness
m case their services were required. Happily, however,
their aid was not needed, as it was found that
none of the passengers had sustained any more
serious injury than • few bruises and considerable
shaking. The passengers by the down express due in
Leicester at 2.0 p.m. had to leave the train at Wigsten, and
to be conveyed to Leicester in carouse sent from thelatter
station to meet them when the accident occurred. By the
vigorousefforts of thebreek-down gang the line was cleared
in the course of two ortbree houne and traffic resumed its
°Wallasey course.

or 62, one of the sufferers b tbe fearfu l
boiler ex on at Messrs. Norris's saw-mills, Barronßarron's-
place,aterloo-road, expired at IR. Thomas's Hospital.
