o'clock, an occurrence of a very frightful, and, in all proba-
bility, fatal character took place at the Baker-West station
of the Metropolitan. Underground Railway. A. lie young
woman, named Agnes Delmott, aged 28, in service at 14,
Pembridge-villas, Bayswater, had alighted from the 9 45
train from Farringdon-street, and the train was in motion
when she discovered she had left her purse in the carriage
she had just quitted, and one of the passengers held it up
to her at the window. She made an attempt to run to-
wards the carriage to secure it, but was stopped by one of
the porters on duty named Davis. She, however, eluded
his grasp, and persisted is running towards the train. In
her attempt to seize the parse she slipped between the
moving train and the platform, and instantly became muti-
lated in a most frightful manner. On being picked up it
was found that the left leg was dreadfully shattered, and
was completely ifivered just above the instep, the foot only
hanging by the skin and tendons. The right leg was also
severely torn and lacerated by the steps of the passing car-
riages. The unfortunate young woman was at once seen
by several surgeons, and the blood having been stanchedas
well as possible, she was placed in the next train for Pad-
dington, and conveyed to St. Mary's Hospital in an insen-
sible state. Mr. Gascoigne and other surgeons held a con-
sultation, and in consequence of the frightfully shattered
state of the bones of the left leg, immediate amputation was
determined upon, and the limb was severed just below w
th e
knee joint. On inquiry at the hospital yesterday', it 8
