FATAL EFFECTS OF A FALL.
----------------
A FATAL accident occurred yesterday, resulting in the
death of an elderly lady of respectability. Miss ANN
NEWSOM while walking in Great George's-street, about
mid-day, after leaving the Friends' Meeting House, by
some mischance fell to the ground with considerable
violence. It is supposed that she must have received
some internal injury from the shock, as, notwithstanding
prompt medical aid, she died somewhat unexpectedly
about half-past eight o'clock last evening. It is
conjectured that her fall was caused by some of the
numerous, apparently trifling, but in reality serious,
sources of danger, such as orange peels, &c., which lie
scattered about the streets, but there is no certainty on
this head, as the poor lady herself could not afford any
information on the subject.
