A. few days- ago, as a Lady was walking along
Knightsbridge after dusk,. 'She fell headlong into a
Wine or Liquor-merchant's cellar which had been
left open. By the violence of her fail, her face Was
shockingly- lacerated, and the bruises which she ex-
perienced were so severe, that her life is in danger,-
We cannot too much reproba,tg the criminal he-
gleet which has led to this melancholy accident. To
leave _Cellars open in any part of this great metropolis
after dark, or even in the day time, 'without precau-
tions to prevent unwary passengers from falling into
them, we think, not only deserving of censure, but
of pun i sht-nen t.
