Yesterday, ass coal waggon was turning into Little
Pulteney-street, the shafts caught a basket, which was suspended
from the neck of an Irishwoman, who had been for some time in
the habit of selling fruit at the corner, when she fell, and the wheel
going over her thighs, crushed them in a most dreadful manner.
She was conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital, where amputation was
deemed absolutely necessary ; but which operation was rendered
unnecessary by the hand of Death. It was but twenty minutes be-
fore the accident, the street-keeper had cautioned her of her danger-
ous situation, and driven her away; but scarcely was his back
turned, when she resumed her position, and verified his prediction.

having quarrelled at a public-house near Godalming, in Surrey, on

down earnest, and fought at times until both were at a stand still.
Harrison appeared to have the best of the fight, but he was at last
dropped by a blow on the aide of the head, which killed him in halt
an hour.
