MOTHER'S TRAGIC FIND.

STORY OF DYING BOY. A mother's tragic discovery that a six-year-old child whom she took to hospital after he had been knocked down was her own, says a London newspaper, was mentioned recently at an inquest at Stepney on John Annereau, of Bethnal Green. Mrs. Annereau stated that her son went out to play. About an hour later she went out on an errand and saw a crowd in the street. A child was lying in the road unrecognisable and covered with blood. She picked him up and carried him to hospital. On the way witness said she told the driver of the car which knocked the child down that she had warned her own boy against running into the road. " When I got to the hospital," Mrs. Annereau went on, "I recognised the boy as my own child." The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," and exonerated the driver of the car from all blame.
