DEATH OF MR. THOMAS LAW HODOES.—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
scheme originally proposed by himself, was so great, that
he attended a large meeting of hop planters at Cranbrook
on the 28th tilt., ailad took the chair. He addressed the
meeting at some length in that clear and perspicacious
style usual to him, and which even advanced age had
not impaired ; but it was evident that his strength was
fast failing. lie 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, in
politics, was au uncompromising "liberal." He was
first returned for Kent in 1830, in coejunction with Sir
E. Knatchbull, without a contest, and afterwards in
1831 with Mr. Rider. The Reform Bill was then
passed, and the county was divided. He was born in
1776, and married, in 1802, the only child of Sir Roger
Twisden, Bart., of Bradbourn-park.—MaidsioneJournal.
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT CHRIST S HOSPITAL.—On
Saturday afternoon, between 2 and 3 o'clock, as the
Blue-coat boys of Christ's Hospital, Newgate-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
premises 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. Bartholomew's
Hospital was promptly on the spot.
