INVOLUNTARY PARRICIDE IN AUIRICAr..BILLR.
fONT, OCT. Ile Bth day of October, Wei.
Judge Forrester, of biflifean County, was shot god
dentally by his son. The circumstances relating •
this melancholy event are as follows :—The soli
left home for the purpose of hunting wolves : after.he
bad been gone some time, the father went out fon the
same purpose. As is common among hunters, • one of
them set up a howling, after the manner of a 'wolf;
and was answered by the other. They continued
bowling in this manner until they approached each'
other within a very short distance. The father bad
bid himself, behind a log, placing brush upon his Imiek
to disguise himself so that when the wolf (as he sup-
posed) came near enough to shoot, it would not be
frightened away. Having raised himself a little for
that purpose, the son observed the motion, fired, taking
the object fired at to be a wolf. The ball entered the
right side of the neck, and passed out at the left hip..
The son, on finding what bad happened, took off his
coat and vest, placed them under his father's- head.
and started home for the purpose of getting aid ; but
his senses fled before he reached hie father's residence;
be became deranged, and was found in that situation ;
not knowing or having a power at that time to relate
the dreadful and heartrending tale.
CAUTION TO COLLIER/go—A fatal accident occurred
at the Wolverhampton Colliery on Wednesday. week.
W. Ball, a miner, was descending a Iron stone•pft its
skip, when, after having been lowered only -II 'fine
yards, the whimsey by some means turned, and he'was'
drawn up again with great rapidity. Upon coming
to the month of the pit, he jumped from the skip, and
clang with his hands to the pit frame, to save lint-
self from being drawn over the pulley; but either the
skip. or the tackling chalaby which it was fastened.'
caught his leg, and drew them up with it. After re•
mining a few seconds with his heels uppermost. hie
feet became disentangled, and he was then compelled
W let go his held of the pit frame, fell headlong down
the shaft, a depth of nearly 80 yards, and was instan-
taneously killed. An inquest has been held upon the
llody of the deceased before H. Smith, lIsq;
,Coroner.
and it appears by the evidence, that the engineer, W.
Dunning, whose duty it was to watch the descent of
the skip, had quitted his post to supply the bollix
with slack, during which time the accideat happened.
The Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter"
against Dunning, and he has been committed to gaol.
On Saturday last the 17th inst. a dreadful accident
happened in Peterborough. An ox was irritated ha
passing through the town, and ran into some fields
were two persons happened to be engaged in cutting
hay ; one of them Anthony Ashley Holmer, who Lad
been for 46 years a faithful labourer in the nursery
of Mr. Flutter, of Peterborough, had just alighted
from the stack, and was advancing towards the animal,
when it furiously assailed him, and one of its borne
penetrating under his chin, pierced quite through the
unfortunate man's head. and protruded at the skull.
In this situation, poor Holmes was carried twelve
yards on the horn of the furious beast, and was then
shaken off. It is remarkable that, though so fatally
wounded, he lived for several hours, made his will,
and gave other directions respecting his family. An
inquest was held on the body on Monday, before John
Gates, dent. Coroner for the City of Peterborough,
and a verdict of " Accidental Death" returned. The
ox was afterwards shot, but as it did not appear
that it bad exhibited any previous symptoms of wild•
ness, the Jury found a deodand of ss. only.—(Sfues-
