Bideford: On Friday evening Miss Pyncent, the daughter of Mr. Pyncent, of Northam, was driving a pony in a four-wheeled carriage in the Northam Road, when part of the carriage gave way, frightening the pony. It ran away with the shafts and part of the carriage, breaking both hind legs of the pony, which had to be shot in the road. The young lady was not hurt.
