BLACKPOOL.
SHOCKING DEATH.

Yesterday week, Robert Watson, brewer to Mr. William Braithwaite, innkeeper, Blackpool, was in the act of ladling the liquor from the boiler, which contained boiling liquor a yard in depth, on the edge whereof he was standing, when his foot slipped, and he was precipitated into the vat.

The poor fellow was fearfully scalded, so much so that, despite every countervailing influence, he died on the following day. On Monday, Mr. R. G. Watson, deputy coroner for Mr. John Cunliffe, Jun., conducted an inquest into the occurrence. Verdict—" Accidental death." Deceased has left a wife and eight children.
