ACCIDENTS & FATALITIES.
(Per Press Association ) Christchurch, June 30. The ten months’ old female child of J. M. Heath died last night from the results of scalding. Yesterday morning whilst the child was sitting in front of a lire, it fell off a chair, and in doing so touched the handle of a pot of boiling water, some of which was spilled on the infant. Mrs. Heath, who is stated to be a certificated nurse from a London hospital, attended to the little sufferer, but its condition becoming worse, medical aid was called in between nine and ten o’clock last night. All efforts to relieve the child were unsuccessful, and it succumbed. At the inquest, the Coroner returned a verdict of accidental death from scalding. The evidence showed that owing to a pin liecoming loose in the front of the chair the child fell out.
