ACCIDENTS: Last Thursday evening a wagonette, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Pinsent, of Wash Common. was being driven down Wash Hill, when the pin holding the shaft gave way, and startled the horse, which bolted. Mr. Pinsent retained his seat, but Mrs. Pinsent jumped out, and was severely shaken. The horse, which was only slightly injured, eventually stopped in Oxford-street having run right through the town, without causing damage. — The occupants of a buggy were thrown out owing to the breaking of the shafts while descending Speen Hill on Monday but were not injured.
