A serious accident had nearly occurred in
Charles-street, Hatton-garden, yesterday morn-
ing, in consequence of the imprudent practice of
placing garden pots outside the windows, without
any security in windy weather. A pot was yester-
day morning thrown from its situation by the
wind, and fell upon an elderly gentleman who
was passing at the time : fortunately, however, it
only gave him a slight blow om the shoulder ; had
it struck hina on the head, the effects must have,
been fatal, as the pot was above the common
size.
As Mr. HERSEM, of tiampstead, was driving
to town in his gig, yesterday morning, the horse
suddenly took fright, just below the Load of Hay
public-house, and rushing forward toward the
Canal-bridge, suddenly came in contact with a
hay "cart, which overturned the vehicle. Mr.
FIERSEM falling with great violence against the
foot-path, broke both his thighs, Mid was con-
ducted home in that state. The horse was for-
tunately stopped about a hundred yards further.
THE LATE Mn. -ilAwTllcaN.7—There has no-
thing as yet transpired how, or in what manner,
this unfortunate and ranch-lamented Gentleman
met- his untimely fate—whether by_ accident or
otherwise. That be was robbed is beyond all
doubt : three particular kind 'of keys, which he
had with him, were recognized by a Gentleman
belonging to the house of Carton and Hawthorn ;
who, after a most diligent and indefatigable
search, discovered them in an old !iron shop in
Kevin-street, where old locks and keys are bought
• and sold ; they have been fully identified, and the
Police Magistrates are elok;ely investigating the
matter. It is ardently to .be hoped that softie
clue may be found to lead to a discovery of every
• circumstance connected with this affair.---(Dublin
Journal, Aug. 19.)
