violence of the storm was allayed. Happily 11_,,u

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT TO A BOY.--On Wednesday
accident of a most frightful character occurred to a bl;
named Joseph Renner, aged ten years, whose friends rest „
at No. 3, Pitt's-place, Old Kent-road. It appears that ths
unfortunate boy and two companions had been strolling
about until they reached Kennington-common, where WI,
amused themselves for some time until they felt disposed of
return house. They all left the common for the purposabe
walking back, and when near Kennington-lane thessiao
Renner ran behind a cab which was proceeding to the Ned
Elms' railway station, when he missed his footing_,A;
before he could recover himself his head became dae"%jor
tween the spokes of the wheel and the shoulder of the %fel
tree. Several of the foot passengers, who saw the frig' jes
position of the poor boy, screamed out to the driver, Iftwsect
stantly stopped the horse. Several persons ran to hut! bill
endeavoured to release him, but were unable to do so, as
re'
Lead was so firmly fixed. It was deemed necessary' t,!," bai
move the wheel, and when the poor lad was extricate' the
head presented a most frightful sight, the scalp frouiro of
base of the skull to the forehead being completely t° nt°
and banging over his face. He was carried, bleedinkeso
a surgeon's opposite, where the injuries were found to vieita
extensive that it was deemed necessary to remove b„i3Daiitill',
,
all speed to the accident ward of St. Thomas's -"or
where he was placed under the care of Mr. South. l'y
are entertained of his recovery.
