ACCIDENTS BY FIRE.
tenoN TBa woodlice MinCORT, NOV. HO
On Sunday night last a fire broke out in premries
at Attleburgh, and extended to a thatched barn on
the Off Farm of Mtn Ellis Palmer, of Old Becken-
ham. The barn was destroyed, and its contents, cos-
siding of seven score of barley, and it was only by
the most vigilant care that Mr. Palmer's stacks of
corn, standing near the barn, were preserved. This
fire was occasioned through the very culpable practice,
too common amongst the poor, of throwing out ;ohm
in a burning state.
On the night of Thursday Wattled a Are broke
out in a stable belonging to Mr. James Call, at
Fromm Farm, Dorchester, acd destroyed the same.
together with another stable and barn, kid their con-
tents. Five berm, eight pigs,• mad a quantity of fowls
were burnt.
On Friday se'nnigbt an inquest was taken at Bux-
ton, before John Pilgrim, Gent., Coroner, on view of
the body of John Howe, a child about six years of age.
who died the preceding day, in consequence of having
been dreadfully burnt. It appeared in evidence that
the mother had very imprudently left the child in her
cottage. and was gone to work for a person in the pa-
rish. The Jury, after hearing the evidence, and re-
greeting that so many accidents happened through in-
attention and neglect, returned a verdict of—Acci-
dental Death. And on the same day another inqaest
was taken at Langley, on view of the body of Mary
Thorpe, a child about eight years of age, who
was left alone in a cottage by her mother, who sr.pi
gone to an adjoining parish, when the poor child, in
attempting to make up the fire, some part cangbt her
clothes, and after making many attempts to extinguish
the flames, she rin out and threw herself into a watei.
ditch, where she was found, and notwithstanding ever?
exertion was made, the child almost instantly died.
Verdict—Accidental Death. And on Thursday last
another inquest was taken at Filby, before the same
Coroner, on view of the body of Daniel Fairman, a.
child only three years of age, who was not only left
alone in a cottage, but locked op by the mother, who
was gone to work, and the child, it is snpposed, by sit-
ting too near the fire, some part caught his clothes, and a
travelling man passing by at the time hearing the
shrieks alarmed the neighbours, and, with theft. ?t.sist-
anee, the cottage dour was broken a.pen, when the
child was foand so shockingly burnt that it expired
soon afterwards. The Jury after hearing the evidence
and severely reprimataling the mother, returned a
verdict of—Accidental Death.—We hope the above
melancholy accidents will operate as caution to parents,
and guard them in future spinet leaving their chit-
