Another fatal accident to a child playing about the streets occurred yesterday, Cumber-

land street on this occasion and the victim alittle girl two

Agnes Fletcher. It appears that about half past 5 o'clock a man named William Emery was driving a beer cart containing two hogsheads in a northerly direction along the street, and when he had reached a position opposite Sargood'a boot factory the child was seen to run across the street and come in contact with the horses'feet. She was knocked down, and one of the wheels passed over her body. A woman named 3lrs Thompson picked her up and conveyed her to the hospital. It was then found that some of the child's ribs had been broken and that life was extinct. Dr Martin made an examination of the body subsequently at the parents' request, and he expressed the opinion that death must have been instantaneous.
