EXTRAORDINARY EXPLOSION OF AN All"
GuN.--A little before nine o'clock yesterday moruiPs
Mr. Taylor, clerk to Messrs. Bowman, Galloway, and Ce:;
machine-manufacturers, was sitting at his desk in the,i_e
counting-house in Great Bridgewater street, when ",
heard a loud report resembling that of a gun which bur",
in discharging. He immediately run up stairs, and is
room on the right hand, at the bead of the staircase, he
found the stock of an air-gun, some fragments of the
butt, and the forcing-pump. He looked about the root*,
and, not seeing any one, was about to descend the steirlf
when he perceived the legs of a man projecting foim
under a bench at the upper end of a storeroom, opposite
to that in which he found the remains of the gun. oe,
approaching the spot he discovered a man, named Edward
Simpson, who had been eighteen years in the employ
the firtn, stretched senseless on the floor, but when medics,
a'd was procured life wis found to be quite extinct.
On examination of the body the mark of a severe WI:
was discovered on the pit of the stomach, and the rig'.
hand was severed from the wrist, to which it hung bi
a piece of the skin. The weapon, of which the frail'
ments were so widely scattered, was an air-gun belongiug
set
to Mr. Glasgow, jun., one of the partners of the boa
for whom the deceased had been in the habit of chargieg,
it. It was capable of containing two hundred pressure
of atmospheric air ; the common charge was sixty prey
sures ; it had been used with a charge of eighty pressures'
but no more. It is supposed that the deceased was cherg:i
ing the gun for his amusement beyond its power, en
that his imprudence in the experiment produced the melba
choly result. The body when found was lying at t
distance of several yards from the spot where the explosild
took place, and in a situation the passage to which wed
describe an angle of above forty five degrees, An Inque'
was held on view of the body in the course of the day, et
which the circumstances above detailed transpired, so *
ver ict was returned of Accidental Death.—Manchergr
Chronicle.
