Saturday 18 Oct 1845 (p. 2, col. 4) On Wednesday week, a very serious accident occurred at Thornthwaite carding mill, Keswick, to a person named Richard WILDMAN, in the employ of Messrs. SIMS, to whom the mill belongs. The unfortunate man was engaged in filling the wool-teazer, and the teeth by some means catching hold of his shirt sleeve, drew in his arm; and before he could be extricated from the perilous grasp of the engine, his arm was torn and lacerated in so shocking a manner that amputation was deemed necessary. SHOCKING CASE OF DEPRAVITY.-A sad result of the effect of intemperance has occurred at Shap this week. A railway labourer named John JUMPS, from Lancashire, after receiving his month's wages on Saturday last, betook himself to the public-house, and between that time and the Tuesday morning following, continued drinking to such an excess as to cause death. He left the Greyhound Inn, in the morning in a very inebriated state, and proceeded a few hundred yards when he was observed to drop. Some persons immediately went to his assistance, he was quite insensible, and expired before they reached his lodgings. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT SUNDERLAND.-A very melancholy occurrence took place at Sunderland on Wednesday afternoon last, about one o'clock. The Scholars belonging to Dr. COWAN's school, at the Grange, about 100 in number, went to bathe near Hendon. The day was fine with a soft southerly breeze, but the sea rolled in heavily from the N.E., and broke along the shore. Two boys, brothers, of the name of BAIRD, sons of Sir David BAIRD, belonging to Edinburgh, 14 and 16 years of age respectively, accompanied by another young gentleman of the name of LINNEY, son of Dr. LINNEY, of Bishopwearmouth, and Mr. SPECIAL, one of the teachers of the school, went into the water. Two of the boys had hold of each others' hands when a wave broke over them and knocked them down. Mr. SPECIAL and the other boy went to their assistance, but before they could receive them another wave broke over them and swept the whole four out to the sea. LINNEY was got out soon after, before life was extinct, but he only lived a few minutes; the bodies of the others were not recovered till late in the evening. The accident has created a great sensation in the town. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-On Tuesday morning, about half-past four o'clock, while Robert SANDERSON, an engine-driver, aged 34, was engaged cleaning an engine, at the Carlisle station, in Newcastle, another engine came in collision with the one he was superintending, and, owing to his being in a stooping posture, crushed his head so severely as to cause instantaneous death. In the afternoon of the same day, an inquest was held at the Locomotive public-house, near to where the accident occurred, when, after an investigation before W. STOKER, Esq., the coroner for the borough, a verdict of "Accidental death" was returned. DISTRESSING SUICIDE.-A joiner named Andrew LAIDLER, who had been many years in the employ of the Brandling Junction Company, and subsequently in the employ of their successors, hanged himself on Wednesday, in a shed at the Pelaw Station. No reason being assigned for his having committed the rash act, the jury returned a verdict of "Temporary derangement." ACCIDENT ON THE BRANDLING JUNCTION RAILWAY.-On Monday Morning, as a labourer named Thomas HOLT, employed in relaying a portion of this line, was attempting to get on the half-past five o'clock train, whilst in motion between Sunderland and Brockley Whins, he slipped his hold and fell upon the rails. The carriages passed over him, nearly severing his legs from his body. The poor man was unobserved at the time, and lay in the greatest agony until the six o'clock train reached the spot. He was then taken up and removed to Fulwell, where amputation was performed by Dr. TORBECK, but he died at four o'clock in the afternoon. On the following day an inquest was held, and a verdict in accordance with the circumstances returned.
