A, poor fellow of the name of John Cole met his
death in the Bristol infirmary, on Tuesday last. The
deceased, who it appears was &flitted with the disease
called Sr. Vitus's dance, had a shower bath ordered
to be administered to him. In consequence, the nurse
and a blacksmith named Redwood, placed him in a
bath, which is supplied with hot and cold water by
two parallel pipes. Redwood, knowing little of the
process, turned the cock of one of the met to let in
the water : the patient immediately screamed out, but
Redwood thinking this was only in consquence sty

he found that he had unfortunately tensed the wrong
cock, and let in boiling water. The deceased was
taken out and put to bed. but his whole body was so
*dreadfully scalded, that,, after lingering for twenty-four
loors, he expired in great agony.—Verdict, Agri-

ordered that the two pipes should be marked dietinctly
hot and ced. •
