DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE. A most distressing
accident occurred on Tuesday morning, at Doe Park,
Woolton, the residence of Mr. J. B. I%.,Teilson., of High.
street, in this town, one of his servants having shot
another in mistake lox a dog. We subjoin the .following
,particulars, as furnished by Mr. Neilson. He says;—
•" My premises have been robbed twice, and, in conse-
,quence, I have a watchman who goes round the premises
every night to protect thetools, &c., belonging to the work-
men employed in my alterations. This watchman's name
is Frederick Guy, and the cowman's name, who also
attends to the poultry. is John Cume. Last night. James
Cume, ;the brother of John, came to Guy and said to him
that, as it was Woolton Wakes, there would be many
rough people about, so he would sit up to watch with
him. This was at 9 o'clock, and while they were speak-
ing John Came came in and trld Guy that he had a
duck just botching in the plantation, near the gate, but
he should not like to lose it ; so he begged Guy to look
after it in the night, which Gay promised to do. The
two men were great friends. At five o'clock in the morn-
ing John came early to his work, and found his brother
James asleep in the saddle-room, and Fred Guy on the
look out. He awoke James, and asked him if Guy bad
looked after his duck in the night. James said he did
not know, for he had fallen asleep and had not been
with Guy for some hours. John then said that
he would go and look after it himself, and without seeing
Guy to tell him, he went to do so. He crept into the
plantation, and finding that the duck had hatched her
young, he took off his cap, which he put on the ground,
went down on his hands and knees, took the old duck off the
nest, and began to take the young ones out of it, to put
into his cap, and carry up to the farm. Of course, while
he did this the old duck made a great noise, which Guy,
as he was walking round, heard, and thinking it was
something worrying Johns duck, he went to the planta-
tions hurriedly, and just as be got near it he could indis-
tinctly see through the thick foliage of the trees, very low
down, a rough brown hairy thing, which he took for
a dog worrying the duck. This was poor John's head,
at which Guy fired without speaking, and killed the
poor,
fellow on the spot. Johnimmediately called out ' Oh,
dear me !' and Guy, half mad, ran shouting out to,
John's brother James, who at once ran to his assistance,
but all was over." At the inquest, on Wednesday, the
above facts were proved in evidence ; and, after consulting
for some time, the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental
Death," but added that Guy bad not used sufficient
caution before firing.
