Burnt to death

At Ackthorpe, near Louth, co. York, in the prime of life, Mrs. Chatterton, wife of Robert C. Esq. Her death was occasioned by a piece of lighted paper lying on the floor, which, on the 17th, caught her cloaths, and burnt her in so shocking a manner as to render medical aid useless.

Burnt to death, in consequence of his shirt taking fire, while left a few minutes by his mother at play with other children, aged 5 years, a son of Robert Baines, of Candlesby. co. Lincoln.
