NEWTON ABBOTT: Accident: On Tuesday evening last, Mr. Samuel Drew, foreman to Messrs. Pinsent, the eminent brewers of this town, met with a painful accident, whereby his ankle was dislocated, and the small bone of his leg broken. It arose from his standing on a chair turning off the gas, after the men had left work in the evening, from which he slipped off. Dr. Elliott was immediately sent for. The sufferer is progressing favourably.
