Carriage Accidents: — An alarming accident, fortunately unattended with very serious results, occurred on Thursday evening to Mr. and Mrs. Pinsent, of Wash Common, who were driving into Newbury in their wagonette. It appears that shortly after starting, the pin holding the shaft gave way, and the latter falling on the horse, caused it to bolt down the Wash-hill. Mr. Pinsent retained his seat, but was unable to check the horse, which dashed with the waggonette at a great rate through the town, and was eventually stopped by Mr. Allee, in Speenhamland, near Albion House. Mrs. Pinsent, who jumped from the vehicle, has since suffered considerably from shock. The horse was but little injured.

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.
