Ac c maw r.—A fatal accident occurred yesterday at the
Abbey-hill. A caner was coming along, driving a horse
and cart, attached to which was a kind of sledge drawn
upon two large rollers, which is used for carrying off the
meadow-grams from the marshy grounds below Salisbury
Crigp. in passinF the heed ofCroftan-rbie-lane, a school
in the vicinity was Just dismissing, when a number of the
chlidren got upon the sledge, and in a few minutes it was
discovered that the rollers bad gone over a girl of twelve
years old, and killed her on the spot. It is supposed the
unfortunate sufferer had fallen between the sledge sod the
cart, in attempting to leap from the one to the other. The
carter was taken up and examined last night, but. we
understand he is free from blame, having repeatetlly dnven
the cheeps tram the Amigo before the accident took place.
