CAUTION TO PARENTS.—At an Inquest held
last night at the Stag in the Wandsworth-road, on the
body of a little boy named Herbert, whose pinafore caught
lire, and caused his death, the Coroner, \1 r. Carter, said
that during the last weck he had held no fewer than nine
inquests of burnt children. It was to be lamented that
