Tuesday, a private of the oth Dragoon Guards,
quartered at Troubridge, shot himself with his pistol; the ball entered
the lower jaw, and passed through the skull on the left side, taking
away part of the brain; he was alive on Wednesday, but not expected
to survive. The Devizes Gazette says that this is the third lamentable
occurrence of the kind which has taken place at Troubridge, and fears
that intemperance was the cause of them.
On Monday morning a man employed on board the
schooner Marta, of Cork, then lying at Pill, got his foot entangled in the

Hospital. On the afternoon of the same day, a young man, while clam-
bering over some timber with the hope of getting a view of the man who
was walking at the bottom of the float, fell down and broke his thigh.—

- . A
An inquest was held on Friday night at University
College Ilospital on the body of John Ireson, a carter, whose death, as
proved in evidence, was occasioned by the fracture of several ribs, in
consequence of deceased having been jammed between one of his horses
and the wall of a new building connected with the London and Bir-
mingham Railway. The occurrence was purely accidental. Verdict
accordingly.
