OBLLANT ACIS REWARDED.
HEROIC RESCUES IN V RIBD SCENES.'
The Morning Leader of 10th July says ; - Some memorable.dieds of gallantry in life, 'siving ward Tawarded yesterday at Mariborough House by the Prince of Wales, in connection with the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, of which the Prince is "grand, peior."
Seventeen bronze medals were awarded, and the Prince banded them over without a set speech, bui with a shake of the hands and a few informal words so each recipient.
Here is a brief narrative of some of the acta of gallantry :
Alfred and Robart Hoot, brothers, wate em. ployed at Alexandra Potteries, Tusstall, in August last, Robert fall into a 19fi, task of boiling oil and water, and Alfred jumped in to his rescue. With the aid of a pipe he got him out. Their screams of agony as they rolled about on the ground attracted attention, and the brothers were removed to hospital. Robert died, and Alfred yesterday received the bronze medal for his brave but fruitless attempt at
rescue.
