PAINFUL ACCIDENT.

About a quarter past three yesterday morning, Mr Douglas, baker, Great North Road, was aroused by a noise on bis premises, and, on going to the bakehouse, he found one of bis men on his hands and knees on the floor, badly burned. Drs Macintyre and Lovegrove were speedily in attendance ; and, at four o’clock, ordered the removal of the injured man to the hospital, pronouncing at the lime, little hope of his recovery. He was severely burned on the chest and throat; and, a few hours later, he was able to state that during the night, being intoxicated, he had gone into the bakehouse, and surmised that he must have lighted a pipe or cigar while lying down, and in doing so set fire to his singlet. When found he was at a considerable distance from the candle. Mr Douglas states that he saw him about eleven o’clock at night, in a state of intoxication, and did not see him again until he found him as described above. He is a single man, and had been working for Mr Douglas for about a week, Mr Douglas had known him previously. On further examination at the Hospital, the Resident Surgeon pronounced him not in danger.
