MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held on
Saturday, before Mr. Henry Churton, coroner, on the bodies
of two of the children of Mr. Davies, firmer, of Capen-
hurst, in the vicinity of Great Saughall, whose deaths had
been caused by falling into a boiler of hot whey and meal.
The accident took place on Monday week. One of the
children survived until the following Thursday, and the
other died on Friday, The jury returned a verdict of

" accidental death."
SHOCKING CABS OF BURNING.—On Thursday some
children, whilst amusing themselves on Runcorn-heath,
ignited a quantity of gorse, and in playing about the fire
a boy, named William Hibbert, four years of age, was acci-
dently pushed into the burning mass. His clothes took
fire, and before assistance could be obtained he was burned
in a dreadful manner.—The bowels of the little sufferer
protruded.—His father is a labourer residing at Weston.—
Chsster Courant.

REVIVAL OF AN OLD COI:ULT.—The Neston wappentake
court, which had fallen into diSuse for some years,
has again been revived, and held its first sitting on Mon-
day, at Great Neston. The steward, or judge of the
court, is Mr. Morton, attorney, of Liverpool, who has ap-
pointed Mr. Robert Grace, attorney, to be his deputy.
Mr. Samuel Spencer, late district officer of the Birkenhead
county court, has been appointed high bailiff of the court.
The objects of the wappentake court are the recovery of
small debts ; and i# will, we hear, besides sitting at Nes-
ton, hold adjourned sittings at Birkenhead and Liscard
for the convenience of suitors.

FIGHTING AT ROCK FERRY.—At theßirkenheadPolice-
court, on Thursday, three boatmen, named Joseph Han-
son, Thomas Hanson, and Ralph Williams, were sum-

Ferry Hotel, for being drunk and fighting on Sunday
evening. Thomas Hanson stated that he had been sup-
plied with sixteen glasses of whisky, on Sunday, at the
complainant's house, the effect of which was that he
became so drunk that he did not know what he was doing.
The other defendants partly corroborated this statement,
adding that they were in the habit of getting drink at the
complainant's house at any hour on a Sunday, whenever
they wanted it.—Mr. Huntriss denied this, and said he
)ermitted drunkenness in his house, which could be

corroborated by the police-officer. —The Rev. R. M. Fielden
said it was monstrous that any person should serve
such a quantity of drink as that spoken to by Hanson.
However, that did not exonerate the defendants from the
charge of fighting. The magistrates then ordered an
information against Mr. Huntriss for Sunday trading;
and the defendants, Joseph and Thomas Hanson, were

ordered to find two sureties in £lO each, or one surety in
£2O, to keep the peace for three months. Williams, against
whom the charge of fighting was not made out, was dis-
charged.
