A young woman named Jane Hamilton, aged 27,
and who resides in Harbour-streoot, Sydney, had a
mairrellous' esape from a frightful death at the Croy.
don railay statlcll, last night. It appears that she
was a passenger by the 12.15 down train from Syd
ney. While the train was approaching the Croydon
platform,' she attempted to stop out of the carriage
on to the platform, but missed her footing and fell
down betweoon it and the carriage. She fortunately
rolled under the carriage before the wheels had time
to pass over her body; her left arm however was
caught andl very badly cut and bruised. As soon as
possible she was extricated and convoyed to the
infirmary, where she was admitted. Dr. Vause, who
attended to her, found that both boeos of her left
arm were brol:en, and that all the tissues wero lace
rated as far up as the elbow. This morning it was
determined to amputate the limb, anud the operation
was to have boon perfornmed by Dr. Marshall. Mr.
Titterton, station-master at Burwood, gives the fol.
lowing report of the matter : -" I was in the 12.15
p.m. down train from Sydney this morning. While
the train was stopping at Croydon stlation I heard
cries from a woman. I immediatly got ount and saw
a woman under the carriage, with her arm greatly
cut. She was brought on to Burwood, and I went
for Dr. Scales, who on arrival advised her removal to
the infirmary. A spooial train was telegraphed for,
and the woman sent to Sydney as soon as possible;
She gave her name as Jano Hamilton, and stated
that she resided at No. 2 Harbour-street, Sydney,
and was going to Croydon." Mr. Johnson, a
passenger by the train, rendered every assistance,
and deserves great credit for his eCxertions.
