OMNIBUS ACCIDENTS. 



An omnibus was overturned in Liverpool Road, Islington, 

 London, and several persons were injured, one seriously. It 

 appears that the omnibus was being driven too sharply round a 

 corner when it was overturned. Four persons who had received 

 injuries were conveyed to the Great Northern Hospital, Caledo- 

 nian Road. Three of them M^ere permitted to leave after having 

 their injuries attended to, but one young man w^as insensible and 

 had to be detained. 



An alarming accident, attended with serious injuries to two 

 persons occurred on the road between Penn and Wolverhampton, 

 being caused by an omnibus coming into collision with a heavy 

 lorry. The 'bus, to which, as usual, three horses were attached, 

 was driven by the proprietor of the vehicle. As the two vehicles 

 approached each other the horse attached to the lorry appears to 

 have first shyed at the 'bus, and then to have made an attempt to 

 bolt. The wagoner, who it is supposed was seated on the front 

 of the lorry, tried to govern his horse with the reins, but, not- 

 withstanding his endeavours, the animal dashed into the right 

 side of the omnibus. By the force of the collision one of the 

 shafts of the lorry was driven right through the panel of the 

 'bus beneath the windows, a portion of the woodwork being 

 forced clean out, and some of the ironwork displaced. The driver 

 of the 'bus, at the time of the accident, was enabled to keep his 

 seat and to maintain control over his horses. 



STABLE ACCIDENTS. 



A man named Handley, of Toll End, was engaged dressing 

 two horses with some oils for a disease called the riff, when 

 he accidentally put the candle too near the animals. The oils 

 caught fire, and the animals were soon in a blaze. The unfortu- 

 nate animals being maddened with pain rushed out of the stable 

 Great alarm was occasioned in the streets by the appearance Oi 

 burning horses, but, fortunately, no mishap occurred. 



STREET ACCIDENTS. 



Major Adams, of the Royal Artillery, while proceeding from 

 Woolwich in charge of an exercise battery, was thrown from his
