FATAL ACCIDENT atT -IkIANCHtSTE. R.
•
Friday, the neighbourhood of the Collegiate Church,
•Mirachester, was thrown into great consternatiotetf the
%ridden fall of a public house, known by the sign o'
*Von Blucher, situated near the Ord Bridge.. Mr. PA nes
family conaisted of himself, his wife, a brewer, and two
female set Tants. Mr. PA RR was not in the house, and
the others happened Cot innately to be at the back of the
premises, and made their escape through- the back win-
dows without injury. Three or four guests were in the
tap•room(which forms the front part of the ground floor);
all of whom very narrowly escaped, at the greater part
o' the room in which they were seated was tilled with
the rubbish from the roof ansi upper stories; none of
them happily received any injury, and they all made
their way out at the* front in a few soinutei att.., the
accident. A poor girl, however, about six years old,
named SARAH WRIGHT, who was in the street at the
times was crushed to death. It appears that the mother
of the unfortunate girl had lately been in the habit of
standing in front of the public house with a skip, for the
purpose of selling calic:, ferts and other small articles
of th It kind. About a minute before the accidz.nt she
had gone i..to the house to warm herself at the 6re, leav-
ing her daughter to take care of the property. The pv'or
little creatur., at the moment when the building was
fall ng, was seen by a gcn:leman standing under the
impenJing ruin perfectly unconscious of her danger.
Ile made an effort to sescue to her; hut the fall of the
building was ate sapid ai to reader it ineffectual, and he
narrowly escaped with his life, for the whole front of the
house fell into e street, and overwhelmed the girl in an
instant. Every exertion was of course iminediatnly used
to extricate her, aid she was dug out in a few minutes,
but was perfectly dead. The mother escaped.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW.STREET.

William Powell, a stout-built, athletic young man, who, it ap-
pears, fills the post of a deputy purveyor of oranges is the pufliats
of Covent-Garden, was on Saturday morning brought up, charged
by an elderly man named Kinpman, a denizen of the same " in
general-st rewed-with-cabbage-leaves-but-on-Saturd aptilgh t.lighted-
up-with-lamps-market," with an aggravated assault. Powell, it
appeared, from the complainant's statement, about eight o'clock on
Friday night, was watching a huge pile of delicious fruit over which
be had the surveillance in the absence of his employer, when an
urchin, of that predatory class against whose incursions Argus him-
self could scarcely-be sufficiently on his guard, came up, and en-
deavoured to divert his attention, while a lurking confederate was
on the alert ready to seize the first moment when his regard should
be attracted to his little brother In iniquity. Mr. Powell, however,
if he beasts net the hundred eyes of his prototype, possesses at least,
in common with another great character, the faculty of " looking
an hundred ways with two," was not to be thus dome by a couple
of juvenile vomits. He seized the small wretch by the nape of
his neck, and began to inflict the baninosle with no sparing hand,
when Mr. Kiepman, who beheld the transaction, and thought the
chastisement inflicte somewhat too severe ha proportion to the
offence, interfered. Mr. Powell's object of attack became in con-
sequence changed at once, and the beating was transferred to Mr.
Kingsnian, who now stated tbat his arm had suffered dislocation,
while his threat had also undergone a considerable laceration from
the Impaled talons of his antagonist.
Mr. Powell; in his defence, declared that the injuries sustained
by Mr. Kingman were vouch greater than he intended to inflict,
as he only meant to give him a very moderate beating for his in-
terference; it occurred prosniscsausty in the struggle, and he was
sorry for it.
Mr afrwsnett. commented with great indignation on the impro.
prkty of his thus assaulting an old man, and was about to order
him wind bell, when Mr. Kingman who, in his conduct through-
out the business, proved himself a ;aighty good-natured fellow at
bottom, said he reely forgave him, uhe was sorry for what he had
done, and requested the charge might be dismissed, to which the
worthy Magistrate was at length induced with manifest reluctance
to consent.
