A Runaway Horse: On Monday an alarming accident happened on Bridge Street. Mr. Pinsent, of Rudge, farmer, who was driving a young horse, was passing down the High Street at the time a train was going over the bridge which spans that thoroughfare. Mr. Pinsent’s man got out to lead the horse, but the animal was frightened, and so restive that the man had to let go of his hold. The horse broke away and ran at a furious rate over the canal bridge into Bridge Street. On reaching the Barley Mow, the trap came into collision with a wagon, but Mr. Pinsent kept his seat, and there was not much harm done until the sharp corner near Mr. Freeman’s was reached. At this spot, a cart loaded with coal was standing, and there was a serious collision. The axle of the coal cart was broken and the four-wheel was overturned, with Mr. Pinsent underneath. It was some time before he could be extracted, and it was feared he was severely injured. Happily, no bones were broken, but he was badly shaken, and was taken into the John O’Gaunt Inn, where he remained till, he somewhat recovered from the shock.
