London, March 16. . . Sunday in the afternoon a melancholy
accident happen'd: two boys, one an apprentice to a
shoemaker in Milford-Lane, the other an apprentice to a
cooper in Blackamoor-street, went from the belfrey of St.
Clement's church, to turn the sance bell, and standing upon
the ledge without the steeple, both fell into the church
yard: The former dash'd his brains out, and the latter
received no damage by the fall, except one little bruise on
the side of his head;. . . [7 lines]
