•,* We insert the fore"oing letter in order, as he desires, that
Mr. Clifford may be heard in his defence. By our report from
Union-hall to-clay it will, however, be seen that fresh complaints
have been made against him. lie must not expect that we can
always give him as mu* eeala 4111, ever" charge that may be brought

A deplorable and fatal accident took place at Mr. Web-
ber's factory, Trowbridge, on Saturday. Two young
women were carrying a broad cloth to the fulling-mill, and
were induced to go through a part of the factory, which
was somewhat nearer (but which we understand was a
trespass) ; when, by some unaccountable means, the cloth
become entangled in the cogs of one of the shafts of the
machinery. The girl who was before, perceiving her
dangerous situation, threw off the cloth, but the one be-
hind, apparently more concerned to save the cloth than
herself, was carried round with amazing velocity, and
jammed between the shafts and the wall : the consequence
was, one of her hands was in an instant torn off just about
the wrist. The sudden concussion stopped the machinery ;
and after cutting the cloth to pieces, the poor sufferer was
extricate( but survived only about sln minutes. She was
a fine girl, 18 years of age : her name was Rolf, and she
was to have been married on the following Monday. An
Inquest was held on the body, and a verdict of " Accidental
death" returned, with i deodand of Ws. on the shaft--
