FRIGHTFUL FALL.—Yesterday morning a brick•
layer, named Thomas Burton, whilst at work near the summit
of one of the lofty and extensive mansions now in the course
of erection at Bayswater. accidentally missed his footing, and
fell from a height of nearly 70 feet, into a cellar beneath, in
his fall striking against, but passing through, the numerous
putlogs and scaffold poles of the building. His fellow-work-
men rushed to the spot, where they found him bleeding pro-
fusely from the nose and mouth. They lost no time in con-
veying him to St. George's Hospital, where, on examination
by the surgeons, it was ascertained, to the astonishment of all,
that not a bone in his body was broken. He had, however,
sustained several bruises by coming in contact with the nume-
rous poles, &c., in his descent. There is, however, little
doubt that he will be enabled to leave the institution in a few
dap, quite restored. _ _ . .
