Singular Accident at Kingsteington: A Few days’ ago, a horse, attached to waggon, laden with bags of chaff, belonging to Messrs. Pinsent and Sons, brewers of Newton, ran away whilst going through Kingsteington. A lad who was on the cart was thrown off with several of the bags and was severely bruised. The horse, before it had proceeded far, ran into a flock of sheep, belonging to Mr. Charles Knowles, the well-known cattle dealer at that place, and four of them were so severely injured that they had to be slaughtered immediately afterwards. The horse was subsequently secured uninjured.
