FATAL ACCIDENTS. 



A fatal accident occurred at Bridgnorth, to a man named 

 Ma?on, 96 years of age. A horse in the shafts of a four-wheeled 

 carriage, having taken fright, bolted down High- street, and on 

 arri^ ing at Listley-street corner came in contact with Mason, who 

 was knocked down with great violence. The deceased was as 

 quickly as possible removed to the surgery of Dr. Mursfield, life 

 being apparently extinct. On examination it was found that one 

 of his legs was broken, and that he had received a very bad 

 wound in the back, in addition to which his thigh was shockingly 

 cut. The deceased expired between six and seven the same 

 evening. A man named Downes, who was driving the vehicle 

 when the animal bolted, was thrown from his seat, but escaped 

 with onlj^ a few bruises. 



A wagoner named George Nott, in the employ of Mr. Boulton, 

 farmer, Codsall, was attending to a colt in his master's stab'e, 

 when the animal kicked him in the face, smashing his jaw into 

 two or three pieces, in addition to inflicting other injuries in 

 various parts of the body. The poor man managed to crawl out 

 into the fold, and, as best he could, called out for assistance. His 

 cries being at length heard by some passers by, he was removed 

 to Mr. Boulton's house. He died shortly afterwards.
