A S John Down, a middle (ized man, 
aged about forty, was, on the aid 
Augud 1755), harneffing his mader’s horfes, they 
fuddenly took fright, and ran away with the chaife. 
He had his back towards the chaife, the wheel of 
which, as it rolled very fwiftly along, druck him on 
the upper and hinder part of the right thigh. He fell 
to the ground, and was unable to rife again, and 
complained immediately of a violent pain in his right 
hip. I came to him foon after the accident, and 
caufed him to be put to bed ; when, on examination, 
I found his only complaint was the violent pain about 
the articulation of the femur with the ifehium, which 
was increafed by any even the lead motion of the 
limb..
