Dagnall, Esqrs., for the appointment of headborough
to be bles, &c.. for the Uxbridge district, two rather curious objec-
tions, and somewhat opposite in their character, were made by
at least, a very
two persons named Emmerton and Wingrove, who had been
nominated to fill the office of headborough. Mr. Emmerton's
objection to serve was on the ground of his being a teetotaller ;
and he stated that as his duties would frequently compel him

candid one. It was "on the ground that he was a drunkard,"
which rendered him unfit to hold the office. Both of these oh-
jections were held to be "good," by the Bench, who forth.:. ith
resolved to dispense with the services of Messrs. Emmerton and
Wingrove, and two others, less adicted to the two extremes,
were sworn in in their stead.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-011 Thursday after-
noon, a shocking accident occurred to a child about sixteen
months old, of the name of Carroll, whose parents reside in the
third story of No. 17, New Church-court, Strand. It ap-
pears the muther had left the room, leaving the child in the
care of its elder brother, who was playing with it at the win-
dow, when it suddenly fell from his arm into the court. 11,
was immediately picked up by some persons passing, and car-
ried to Mr. Walker, surgeon, of Drury-lane, who ascertained
that it had receive I a severe concussion of the brain, and its
body was severely bruised. It was conveyed back to its pa.
rents' residence, where it now lies without any hope of re-
covery.
