Yesterday morning two men quarrelled about politics, at
a public-house at I)uckfleld, and afterwards fought, when
one of them received a blow on the temple and instantly
expired.
Dazaoset Accwasrr.—On Wednesday evening last,
George Wills, Esq. of 25, Gloucester-place, mounted a
very spirited horse, which, starting instantly at full
speed into Upper Ilerkeley-street, got upon the footpath,
and Mr. Wills, not being able to control the animal,
which plunged in a desperate manner, was thrown with
tremendous force against the area railings, and the animal
then darted off, very much cut. Some of the passengers
raised Mr. Wills, who was insensible. On being con-
veyed to a surgeon, both legs and his left arm were found
broken, and his skull fractured. lie was carried home is
this dreadful state, and has since been attended by Sir
Astley Cooper and Mr. Heaviside, who have reduced the
fracture; though, from the gentleman's advanced age,
but little hope is entertained of his recovery.
FLY IVATL.N.—An instance of the dangerous conse-
quences of incautiously using fly-water, occurred on Sun-
day afternoon, in the family of Mr. Griffithson, of Little
Chelsea. His (laugher, an interesting girl, between four
and five years of age, was taken alarmingly 11l ; and as
she had been playidg about the garden a short time pre-
viously, in apparent good health and spirita, thesuddenness
of the attack caused some inquiry tts he made teepecting
the cause, when it was discovered that she had drank some
liquid from a saucer, which had been placed in an adjoining
apartment, for the purpose of destroying the flies. A me-
dical gentleman being called in, administered a powerful
emetic to his little patient, which had the efflct of quickly
removing the contents from the stomach of the sufferer ;
and after being put to btd, she was completely restored
during the course of the
_evening. On the liquid being
analyzed, it proved to contain a strong poison.
