ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE HAMPSTEAD
PONDS.—Yesterday afternoon another fatal accident oc-
curred at a pond on Hampstead-heath, from bathing. The
victim in this• instance is a youth named Wm. Lynch,. aged
18 years, residing in York-road St. Pancras. This Is the
fourth accident of the kind which has occurred at these
ponds within the last month. Surely some measures might
be taken either altogether to prevent bathing in them, or to
render its practice less dangerous.;
