FATAL ACCIDENT.
Poo
--axly this (Saturday) morning the lifeless body of a
to , old man, named George Halford, a well-known
t:i-higler, was found lying in the turnpike-road be-
enn Leicester and Uppingham, near Skeffington, about
miles from the former town. It appears that the
Unfortunate man frequently started from Leicester at
midnight for Uppipgham, with a load of coals, and there
411 no doubt but that he has lost his life by indulging in '
4 dangerous habit—a ludicrous instance of which he re-
lated but a short time ago top the person who now re-
torts. to us his untimely death. It seems that he left
•Leicester one night about twelve o'clock for Uppmgham,
und as soon as be passed the toll-gate on the Humber-
4tolle-road, got on_the top of the coals, where, being a
little the worse for .drink, he stretched himself at full
length , and speedily fell asleep. • How long he remained
oblivious of the world and its cares :he knew not, but
When he awoke, some two or three hours afterwards he
and
himself he knew not where, among some houses,
:d his horse standing as still as a post. Not recog-
tising the place when he awoke, and the night being ex-
iedingly dark, he knew not which way to steer, so at
as resolved to knock up one of the villagers, arid ask
te to. his whereabouts. He accordingly did so, and was
sawarded for his trouble by ascertaining thathis horse
taken the wrong road, and strayed. into Humber-
-tare. As we before observed, this story doubtless con-
as the key to the poor old man's melancholy end.
4 ikne, deceased was a widower, having lost' his wife but
jo etZ *weeks ago, and resided in Lower Sandacre-street,
town. By his death, we regret to state, several
'-'en are left orphans.—Leicestershire Mercury.
