DEATH OF MR. THOMAS LAW HODGES.—It is our pain-
ful duty to record the death of Thomas Law Hodges,
Esq., of Hemsted Park, near Cranbrook, at the advanced
age of 81 years. Mr. Hodges had been for some time in
a declining state of health, but his anxiety to promote
the present movement in favour of an acreage duty, a
athtteen2dBeald
ult.,ala large meeting
m
scheme originally proposed by himself, was so great, that

meeting at some length in that clear and perspicacious
style usual to him, and which even advanced age had
notimpaired ; but it was evident that his strength was
fast failing. He conducted the meeting to a close, and
then returned to his residence at Hemsted, which he
never afterwards was able to leave. The last hours of his
existence were calm and peaceful, as became the closing
scenes of a long and useful life. Mr. Hodges, its
politics, was an uncompromising "liberal:" 11, was
first returned for Kent in 1830, in-conjunction with SiF
E. Knatchbuli, without a contest, and afterwarde
in
IS3I with Mr. Rider. The Reform Bill was thethenpas,ed, and the county was divided. childH
of
e was born in
1776, and married, in 1802, the only Sir Roger
Twisden, Bart., of Bradbourn-park.—.llfardstoneJournal.,
FRIGUTFUL ACCIDENT AT CHRIST'S 110, SPITAL.—On.
Saturday afternoon, between 2 and 3 o clock, as the
i.
Blue-coat boys of Christ's Hospital, /N. ewgatc -street, were
engaged in their usual sports, two of their number at-
tempted the dangerous but frequently accomplished feat
of scaling the wall of the playground which abuts upon
Giltspur-street. One of them descended in perfect
safety, but the other, a fine youth of about 16, evidently
ignorant that a line of pointed iron rails attached to the
;remises of Mr. Gilrutb, baker, were beneath him,
dropped upon the spikes, where he was impaled for
several minutes, until his affrighted companions gave the
alarm, when he was extricated from his horrible posi.
tion, and the best surgical aid from St. Oartholomew's
Hospital was promptly on the spot.
