THE LATE FALL ON HOUSES IN TOTTENHAM-COURT-
ROAD. —The inquiry into this lamentable accident was
resumed to-day. A number of witnesses were exa-
mined, but nothing further than that which bas
already appeared in The Sun with respect to the cause
of the accident was elicited.
A CHILD BURNED TO DEATH IN LAMBETlL—Nester-
day Mr. Carter, the Surrey coroner, held an inquest at
Mr. Pope's, the White Horse Tavern, Cornwall-road, on
the body of Catherine Matthews, aged one year, whose
parents reside at 54, Wotton-street, Lambeth. Toe
evidence proved that the parents of the child went to a
concert at Easter, leaving the deceased in charge of a
girl, who, falling asleep, was suddenly startled by a
knock, and the child fell upon the fire, and was much
burnt about the face, which caused erysipelas to super-
vene, of which it died. Verdict—accidental death.
PASSENGER DUTY PAID BY RAILWAYS.—The total
amount of all duties paid by railway companies in Eng-
land and Scotland (for the duty extends not to Ireland)
on passenger traffic amounted last year to 338,7531.,
against the snm of 316,3651. in the year 1855. Tee
Briehton line paid 23,570/. ; the Eastern Counties,
21,884/. ; the Great Northern, 17,938/. • the Great
Western, 33,255/. ; the Lancashire and Yorkshire,
10,9481. ; the Midland, 16,193/. ; the North-Eastern,
17,423/. ; the North• Western (London) line, 51,199/. ;
the South-Eastern, 26,530. ; and the South-Western,
28,7901.
SERIOUS ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning three la-
bourers, employed in Woolwich Dockyard, were engaged
in removing a truck heavily laden with timber to the
slip in which the Galatea, corvette, is building, and
whilst passing over a bridge one of the planks gave way,
and the truck and men fell into the mud from a height
of 18 feet. One of the men, named Richard Bishop,
bad his leg broken, and was immediately conveyed to
the Royal Marine Infirmary. The others were but
slightly injured. From the nature of the accident it is
astonishing that the result was not fatal.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday Mr. Baker held an
inquest at the Greyhound Tavern, Old Ford-road, of
the body of Thomas Regan, who lost his life by a fall on
earth while working in an excavation at the residence
of Mr. Charles Eaton, on Monday morning last, as pre-
viously rep!leA. .A ,anidare,l (Nspt.,}l ^l,4s
