Yefterday afternoon a poor woman, whole oc-
cupation was that of felling curds and whey, oppo..
fife a court near Water lane, Fleet-itreet, was
beaten down by a waggon palling by, in which the
driver was riding; her legs were broken, and her
head was Co badly wounded; that (be was taken to
the Hofpital in great danger. The unfeeling wag
' goner drove rapidly on, but being purfiled, was
taken into cuftody. It is hoped his punifhment
will be exemplary.
Wednefday afternoon, a (hocking accident hap-
pened in St. Giles's, near Drury-lane : a man, by
Tome means was run over by n waggon, and fo
much maimed, that he was conveyed to the Hofpi-
tal on a Bnter. without hopes of recovery; a wo-
man with a child in her arms, obferving the man's
approaching danger, was fo extremely a/Ceded,
particularly from the circumftance of her having a i
child formerly killed in a fimilar manner, that The
fainted away, and let the child fall beneath the
wheels of the waggon, which crushed it fo, that it
died upon the fpot.
A fingular circumftance occurred to Mr. Reid,
an eminent horfe dealer at Edinbufgh, within thefe
few days 3 He had carefully depofited in a prefs a I
parcel of bank notes, to the amount of 801. for a
payment he had to make. When the demand
came, he went for his notes, but not one of them
was to be Peen, though they had been there shortly
before, and no perfon having been in the room
except one man, fufpicion naturally fell upon him,
and of courfe gave him no (mall uneafinefm his
proteflations were of no avail, but on a minute ex-1
amination of the clofet, the corner of a bank note
was perceived flicking through a (mall hole; this
led to'a farther inveftigation, when the whole of
the-notes, perfedly entire, were found neatly piled !
up in the shape of a rat's neft, fo that the property I
was lately recovered, much to the fatisfaftion of
all concerned, except the unfortunate rat, whidi
I would now be under the necelEty of recurring to
the /km,.
A medical gentleman informs us of the follow-
ing efficacious method of driving away rats :--
Take the ezpreffed juice of the flail or leaves of
the deadly nightfhade, and make it into a foft parte
with oatmeal-or wheat flour, place it in the holes
at tracts which the rats frequent, and though they
tieLstot eat it, yet it is fo difagreeable to them,
that they will initantly leave the premifes. •
