BYLAUGH HALL, NORFOLK.

A spirited paragraph in the Athenceum has made
known the near completion of Bylaugh Hall amongst
hedge-rows and turnip-fields, and prepared the way for
the more complete information we were about to give
our readers. The style adopted is what is now generally
understood by the term Anglo-Italian; a style which
identifies itself, by its masses and outlines, with what is
properly called English architecture. The house is of
ample size, though of less magnitude than has been in-
dicated in the notice referred to, and the engraved plan
will best show its arrangements fur comfort and con-
venience. The Chancery joke, too, of our able contem-
porary, unluckily falls to the ground, since, by the wish
of those who are interested, the inscription referred to,
" Ex jussu Curiae Cancellarise," has been cut out and
replaced by a frieze ornament. The building has been
erected from the design and under the superintendence
of Messrs. Banks and Barry, of London, by the Messrs.
Piper, of Bishopsgate-street, who have performed their
work in a very creditable manner, to the satisfaction of
the architects. Their contract, which has just been
completed, amounted to 29,3891., a sum below the
original estimate, and the work has been brought to a
conclusion without any extra expenditure. The ma-
terial is Magnesian Limestone, from the quarries of Mr,
Grissell, from which the Houses of Parliament have
been constructed, and, seen without the disadvantage of
London smoke and dirt, is of a warm and pleasing
coluur. Messrs. Piper have just entered into a second
contract for the formation of the terraces, conservatories,
and enclosure walls and balustrades (which, it is under-
stood, are very complete), befitting a mansion of such
importance; and these works, as well as the enclosing of
the space appropriated to the park by means of a brick
wall, with lodges in the Norwich, Dereham, and Faken-
barn Woods, will be at once commenced. The park and
pleasure grounds will be arranged and laid out from the
designs of Mr. W. A. Nesfield, the well-known landscape
artist, whose advice, it seems, was also followed in the
outset as to the precise position where the mansion
could best be placed, and whose choice in this respect
has met the approval of all the parties concerned.—

has occurred in Leeds. It appears that on Saturday last a
man named Thomas Nicholson, aged 48, an
the brewery of Messrs. Spong, was tending the at
the machine
wtw
for
grinding malt. During the morning he was formissed
hours; it was not, however, supposed that anythingans
amiss until a person entering the grinding room (where de-
ceased had been employed alone), observed a portion of Nl:
cho:son's body whirling round the shaft, and the room like;
slaughter house. The machine was as speedily as possible
stopped. It was then found that both Nicholson's feet had
been cut off, and that his left arm was torn from the body
by the shoulder-joint, and that his right arm, legs, and body
were frightfully mangled. It is unnecessary to add that he
was quite dead, and had been so for scme time, it being pro-
bable that the mutilated remains had been whirling round
the shaft for two hours! It is supposed he had been caught
by. the jacket and got amongst the machinery. The coroner's
jury have returned a verdict of "Accidental Death."
