(from our own correspondent. ) DuNEDIN, 22. A serious accident at Bavensbourne to-day to a girl of 11 years, named Melita Mullinger. She was engaged plucking flowers on the railway liank, and fell on the line just as the midday train from PahnersLon was passiug. Nothing could be done to save her, and one of the carriages passed over her leg, completing crushing ife. She was immediately conveyed in the same train to the Dunedin Hospital where the limb was amputated below the thigh. The train coming round a corner startled her, so that she fell.
