\ distressing accident occurred on
Saturday afternoon last, by which a
little child of Mr.. George Edwards,
pattern-maker at Jonah Richards
foundry, lost its life. 1t seems that an
elder daughter of Mr.. Edwards was en-
gagged in washing, and poured into Il
small tub quantity of boiling water,
setting it on the floor, She then went
out to procure some water to cool it,,
and left the child in the room, though
at some distance from the lb. The
child, about two years and half old,
in crossing the room backwards, fell
into the tub of boiling water. Mrs.
Edwards, who was in the room, rushed
forward and took the child from the
tub, finding it dreadfully scalded, the
flesh literally peeling off with its cloth
ing. A physician was summoned, but
to no avail, the little sufferer dying on
Sunday.
