RAILWAY BRIDGE AT WALWORTIL—A few days
ago the Newington vestry showed a disposition to interdict
the Chatham and Dover Railway in respect to the bridge
over the Walworth-road. The discussion on the subject was
resumed last Wednesday, end after a full debate of several
hours a division was called for, when the numbers were for
proceeding with the injunction 19 against 34 ; so that the
company may lower the path or otherwise as they please.
A BRAVE AND HEROIC ACT.—Some workmen in
the employ of Mr. Wm. Davis, the mayor of Haverford-
west, have been sinking a well in a field in Shut-street-
lane. On finishing their work last Friday, they had sunk
to about 33 feet, and there was at the time about seven or
eight feet of water. The same evening a girl, about ten
years of age, named Hannah Evans, daughter of a widow
woman residing in Shut-street, fell into it. The shrieks
of her companions alarmed George Evans, a mason, who
resides in one of the houses abutting on the fi, Id. Seeing
no help near he ran back to his house, and quickly returned
with a thin rope, hardly strong enough to hold the weight
of a heavy man. One end of this he rapidly hitched round
a log of wood near the mouth of the well, and throwing
the other end down to the water, the brave fellow, without
any hesitation, commenced his descent. The poor child,
however, had sunk before ho reached the water, and he
was consequently obliged to dive to the bottom, about
seven or eight ket, After a while he found her and
rose with her to the surface, but his own strength was
nearly exhausted, A number of men had by this time
arrived, and they with more seal than knowledge began to
haul up the rope rapidly. The consequence was that
Evans was jerked about fearfully, and his hands terribly
mangled with the rope. He, however, held on, and pre-
sently he and the little girl whom he had rescued were
safe. Evans will be unable to work for weeks to come,
and the case is one in which assistance is richly deserved.
