Ann Selly, a witness, stated, that on Friday last, between the hours of ten and eleven in the morning, she was coming from a neighbour's house to that of her mistress, Mrs Darke, with a saucepan of boiling water in her hand, and as she was about to enter the door, the little boy suddenly ran against her, and the scalding element fell over his face and bosom; she instantly took up the child in her arms and wiped him with her apron, till his mother coming in received him out of her arms.
