A melancholy occurrence took place in Beamish Colliery, in the county of Durham. In consequence of an unexpected rush of water, William Millar, the viewer, and Robert Moody were drowned ; a third man escaped with difficulty. March 23, after the water had been considerably drawn off, the bodies were found in a most shocking condition. On taking the shoes from Moody, his feet separated with them. He left a widow far advanced in pregnancy, and four children. The bodies were interred at Tanfield, on the following day.
