LOCAL & DISTRICT INTELLIGENCE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WORKINGTON AND DISTRICT continued............... ____________________________________ CHILD KILLED AT HARRINGTON. - MR. WEBSTER, coroner for the lordship of Egremont, held an inquest at High Harrington, on Wednesday, touching the death of a child, three years of age, named ROBERT FINDLEY, who, had been killed at that place on the previous day.    It appears that on the forenoon of the previous day, a horse and trap were standing tied to a ring at the Galloping Horse Inn, High Harrington, when the horse took fright, broke the bridle, and bolted in the direction of Distington.  Deceased, who was playing in the road, about 400 yards from the inn, was knocked down by the animal, and sustained such injuries that he died within ten minutes.  The jury returned a verdict of "Accidentally killed" . A WORKINGTON MAN FOUND IN THE SOLWAY. - On June 21st, the smack 'Sally Blair' foundered whilst making Workington Harbour, and two men, one names DANIEL COIL, and the other ALEXANDER M'KINLAY, although diligent search was made for it, was not recovered until July 12th, when a body subsequently indentified as his was washed ashore on the sands opposite West Preston, in the parish of Kirkbean.    The features were so decomposed that the only means of identity was the clothing, by which, however, the corpse was recognised as that of M'KINLAY, who is a relative of MR. BATES, of the Griffin Hotel, Workington.  The remains were interred in Kirkbean churchyard on the 18th inst.
