T DEATH OF A CHlLD.—Yesterday an inquest
was held at the Middlesex Hospital before T. Wakley,
Esq., on the body of Alexander Dowdall, a fine little
boy: Aged nine years, 'who met his death under the fol-
lowing distressing circumstances :—On the evening of
the 15th instant deceased and a playmate, named
William Aylntt, • in
lln i were playing front of the premises of
Mr
wn, a builder, at 65, Po!and-street, Soho, and
got upon a blank window sill, four feet from the ground,
encl ',Red by an iron railing and 6-inch spikes, only 2i feet
from the facia, and 2 feet 10 inches from the pavement.
Young Dowdall challenged his companion to follow his
oxanaple, and springing forward with the manifest inten-
tion of diving head and hands downwards, became
transfixed by one of the spikes entering the lower part
of the bowels on the right side, another teariiigh
piece of flesh, together with a portion of the cloth-
ing, from the left side. It would seem that fearful
of being punished by his parent he persisted in going tip
stairs alone, but then fainted from great loss of blood.
He was put to bed, but the medical attendance there
being insufficient be was removed to the hospital, Anil
died on the following Saturday. Mr. Henry Govier, of
20, Portland-Etreet, Soho, with whom the parents of the
unfortunate child lodged, appealed to the coroner re•
seeming the removal of the dangerous palisading, round
and on which children were constantly playing. Mrs
Wakley said the matter was entirely out, of his jurisdim
tion. Mr. Govier intimated that in all probability, as •
°leek to future accidents from the same causes, proofed•
ings would be taken to obtain compensation for. loss of
life. The jury said it was a most lamentable oafs, sad
retamed a verdict of " Accidental Death."
