playing with some machinery notwithstanding he had
been cautioned repeatedly of the danger, by thrusting his
right hand between two large iron rollers revolving at full
speed grinding paper to a pulp, and before he could with-
draw it, the rollers drew the hand and arm in as high as the
shoulder; his screams brought assistance, and the engine was
instantly stopped, but before the arm could be extricated the
machinery had to be taken to pieces, when it was found
shockingly mutilated. He was conveyed to the King's Col-

MANSLAUQIITER AT BRISTOL.—BRISTOL, MONDAY
ArrEuNoox.—A good deal of excitement has prevailed in
the neighbourhood of Clifton, near this city, in consequence
of the death of a girl named Mary Casey, under circum-
stances which have led to the committal by the magistrates
of a man nanted ,John Millard to take Lis trial for man-
slaughter. The it#e>tigation by the magistrates was com-
menced at the Couneil-house on Saturday, and was concluded
this day, and from the evidence adduced it would appear that
the deceased was the daughter of a poor widow named
Bridget Casey, who lived in Berkeley-court, and earned he'
livelihood by going out to work as a charwoman. At the
back of Berkeley-place, and extending to Meridian-place, is
a rocky piece of ground, upon the upper part of which Messrs.
Bevan and Compton, builders, of Bedminster, are engaged in

erecting s— ome houses, and the faccused man, John Millard,
has been employed by them to blast some of the sThe tone fertlicief
purpose of canstructing the necessary drains. Site d
the buildings being about thirty yards from the foot ao
carriage-way of Meridian-place, and much nearer to the gar-
dens of other buildings, considerable alarm has been felt by
the inhabitants in consequence of the danger to which they
conaidered themselves exposed. On
named Tripp, an architect, residing in Meridian-place, made
an effort to prevent further blasting, for which purpos aefl
