FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE (I:N THE SOUTH-EASTERN
Ramw_kv.—On Saturday an in:vestigation was gone into
before Mr. W. Carter, at the Rail v vay Tavern, New-cross, on
the body of John Burns, aged 30.. The deceased was in the
employ of the South-Eastern Rai Tway, and was, with others,
at work at the house attached to the Cold Blow Station, near
New-cross, Deptford, when he s 1.1 ddenly crossed the line of
the railway, for the purpose, as as ,:as supposed, of going to a
shed on the opposite side for son 1,3 tools. As he did not re-
turn for some time a search was made for him, and he was
found lying doubled up between the rails, a short distance
from the Cold Blow Station. Th e left arm was cut off, and
lying by his side; one of his feet ; -was also nearly separated
from the leg, and the body and [lead altogether so crushed
and mutilated that those who cent to look for him only
knew him by his clothes. Th a jury returned a verdict of
" Accidental death." It appea rc d that the poor fellow
crossed the line at the moment 'iv hen the Croydon up-train
was just below, and the Tunbridge- .express train approaching
New-cross.

r
Majesty's brig Racer was transferrei from that vessel to her
Majesty's steamer Oberon. The poc r fellow was labouring
occasionally under temporary delosis n, which arrived finally
at such a pitch that when the Obeli ,n was last at Corfu he
threw himself overboard in the qQ arantine harbour. No
sooner had he thus attempted sell -destruction than Mr.
Frederick Lucas, clerk in charge of t he ship, threw himself
overboard to save him, and happily st icceeded, notwithstand-
ing the opposition made by the marii le, in bringing him safe
to the ship's side, when he was got on board. Such acts
need no comment."
