Through being suspended by his jumper from a tap over a copper containing hot water, a boy named Peter Walter Perry, aged two years and two months, was" fatally scalded. Apparently the boy climbed up the tubs on to the copper lid, which he capsized with his weight, his jumper catching in the tap. His mother heard a scream and found the boy with his legs and the lower part of his trank in the water. He was rushed to hospital, where death occurred yesterday, six days after the accident. The boy’s parents are Mr and Mrs E. W. Perry, who reside at Tararua street, Masterton.—Press Association.
