ANOTHER CASE OF BURNING CAUSED BY CRINOLINE – Another case of fire occasioned by crinoline took place at Beeston near Nottingham on Monday, the victim being a young girl named Sarah BAKER, who is in the employment of Mrs PAGE, as a nursemaid. It appears that the unfortunate girl was getting a pin from the chimney piece, when her ample crinoline brought her dress into contact with the fire, and she was instantly in flames. Mrs PAGE, who was in the room, endeavoured without success to extinguish the fire, and was much burnt in the attempt to do so. The screams of the women, however, brought two men who were passing to their assistance, and the burning dress having been got off, Mr BUTLER, surgeon, was called in, but the girl received such serious injuries that she was removed to the General Hospital where she now lies under treatment.

FATAL GUN ACCIDENT NEAR NOTTINGHAM – At the Shire-hall, Nottingham, on Wednesday, a young man named Bennett CARNELL, about twenty years of age, was brought before Lord BELPER and the sitting magistrates, charged with shooting a child named Elizabeth OLDHAM, three years old. It appeared from the evidence that on the previous evening at half past six o’clock, the prisoner was shooting birds with an air gun from the window of his mother’s house at Beeston-Notts, and the deceased was playing with other children behind a hedge about twenty yards from him. He continued shooting for some time, when a bullet from his gun struck the deceased on the head, and bespattered her brains all around. An alarm was made, and the police were communicated with, the prisoner being shortly afterwards apprehended by Sergeant DOLBY and conveyed to Nottingham. The poor child lingered a few minutes and then expired. The case was remanded until Saturday, when the result of the Coroner’s inquest will be known.

A PAINFUL CASE – An inquest was held on Monday by Mr SWAN of Beeston-Notts, touching the death of a girl named Eliza BOLLENDS, servant to the Misses CHEETHAM, at Chilwell, which took place under very painful circumstances. Fellow servant Ellen RILLMAN found deceased sitting in the kitchen corner early Sunday morning; deceased admitted she had given birth to a child.

When told she wished to go, they said it would be best if she did so. Deceased had given birth to a male child, full grown and still alive.
