London, January 20. The following droll accident happened
lately at a Spouting Club west-end of the town. A young
fellow was taking off Harlequin in pantomime, and being to
leap through a trap door, three or four young men with the
curtain were appointed to catch him; but were so attentive
to him while he was acting the part, that they forgot to
catch him as he jumped, and he fell with his head in a pitch
pot that some carpenters had left behind them, which, very
much hurting his head, made him a most strange spectacle,
and stuck to his hair in such a manner that it was obliged
to be all cut off.
