Boiled to death

The following melancholy accident happened lately in the parish of Aberlour, in Bamffshire: A servant lad, fond of a little boy of his master's, took the child in his arms to dandle him; unfortunately passing by a boiling cauldron, the child by a sudden spring, leap'd out of his arms, and fell into the boiling liquor; and before it could be got out by the unhappy and almost distracted lad, was scalded to death.
