DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT SHREWSBURY.

On Tuesday morning, soon after midnight, a part
of the southern gable-wall of the Theatre in Shrews-
bury gave way, and, fallinvan the roof of an adjoin-
ing house, forced a part of it, together with a portion
of three room-floors, and all that intervened, down
to the kitchen-floor, rather below the level of the
street. Most unfortunately, a poor labouring man,
named Edward Davies, with his wife and two chil-
dren- (one a boy about seven years of age, and the
other an infant at the breast), slept together in a bed
in the garret immediately under the dislocated mass,
which fell upon, and forced them, together with a
quantity of large stones, timber, the bed, &c. down
to the kitchen, where they ‘!ere buried under the ac-
cumulated heap of fallen materials.
Four other children of the same poor man lay in
a bed in another part of the room, and providentially
were unhurt. In the next room underneath, Mr.
John Jones, milkman, and his wife, and a young wo-
man, their niece, occupied two beds, which happily
were situated out of thndirection of the falling mass;
the young woman; however, was dangerously hurt.
—ln the lower rooms slept a lodger named Hunt,
and his wife, and their bed being also out of the line
taken by the ruins, they providentially were not hurt.
Several of the neighbours, on hearing the crash, left
their, beds to assist the sufferers, and surgical aid was
also procured immediately. As soon as the parties
who were unhurt, or but slightly injured, as above-
mentioned, had been got out of the premises, the
thoughts of the persons present were turned to the
relief of the poor individuals who Lay buried under
the heap of ruins. Nearly two hours, however,
elapsed helbre they could be got out. Edward Da-
vies was found dead, and injured in a most shocking
manna.. His wife, Elizabeth Davies, and their son,
Thomas Davies, were also found dead the infant
was miraculously preserved, having fallen with its
unfortunate relatives through three stories of the
house, and being yet taken up nearly unhurt clinging
to the body of its mother.
Tuesday morning, an Inquest was held at the
White Lion, St. John's-hill, on the bodies of the per-
sons killed, when a verdict was returned of Acciden-
tal Death—Deodand Ws.
