Accidents: Among others, the following accidents have been admitted into the Devon and Exeter Hospital since our last: Joseph Willey, a boy of Trinity parish, aged nine, cut head; William James, of Topsham, aged 27, injured ankle; Thomas Wright, of Crediton, aged 49, contused leg, caused by a fall into a pit; John Frost, of Topsham, aged 28, severe contusions of the right hip; Charles Levyman, of St. Thomas, sprained wrist; and William Paul, aged 50, in the employ of Mr. Pinsent, at Colebrook, severe laceration of thighs and left arm. This latter accident occurred whilst Paul was in the act of turning a boar out of its style. The boar, unwilling to be removed, rushed at the man, knocked him down, and with his tusks lacerated different parts of his body, and laid his left arm completely open.
