POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.

THAMES.

EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—Richard Price, a youth
about 18 years of age, was charged with careless driving,
and injuring a boy named Astley Edmonds, whose death
it is feared will happen in the course of a few hours.
It appeared that the prisoner was driving a horse and
cart along High-street, Whitechapel, yesterday evening,
and, according to the statement of a man named Driscoll,
which was not very clearly given, the prisoner left the
cart, and the horse made a start and dashed against a
ham and beef shop which was closed, at the corner
of High-street and Leman-street. A boy named
Astley Edmonds, who was selling potatoes from
a can, was knocked down by the horse, and
on being raised from the ground was quite in-
sensible. The shutters and window frame of the
shop were shattered, the horse was much injured, and
the cart was damaged.

A medical cdtificate was put in, stating that the
boy Edmonds was labouring under concussion of the
brain, and in a very dangerous condition.
Driscoll said that he understood the boy died this
morning.

Bull, 160 A, said the boy was in a very critical
state last night.

The prisoner, in defence, said the horse he was driv-
ing was quite blind, and set off at full trot. When he
arrived opposite Goulston-street the horse began kick-
ing and galloping, and then started off at full speed
towards Leman-street.

Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner on bail unti
Tuesday.
