The Late Mrs. Pinsent: On Monday Dr. Henry Gaye, Coroner, and a respectable jury, sat at the Town Hall to inquire into the cause of the death of the late Mrs. Pinsent, whose serious and fatal accident has been already reported. From the evidence adduced it did not appear that the boys who were wheeling the wagon in the immediate locality from whence the pony started were the cause of it. The animal was shown to be rather spirited, too much so for timid ladies to manage. The jury returned a verdict of “Accidental Death.” The elder Mrs. Pinsent still lies in precarious condition: Funeral of Mrs. John Pinsent: — Yesterday a newly-constructed vault in Highweek Churchyard received the mortal remains of the above lamented lady, who a fortnight previously, whilst in the full vigour of health and beauty, received injuries through the running away of a pony and carriage, in which she and her mother-in-law were taking an afternoon drive. The injuries terminated fatally Saturday, the deceased being only 26 years of age. The hearse was followed to the graveyard by four carriages, containing the sorrowing relatives of the deceased, and behind these a large number of tradesmen followed on foot. The last sad offices were performed by the Rector, the Rev. S. G. Harris, in his usually solemn and impressive manner. Many of the shops were partially closed during the hour of sepulture, and much sympathy for the deceased and her family was expressed on all sides. Hopes are still entertained that the elder Mrs. Pinsent will recover, although the progress is slow.

Newton: The Late Accident: The elder Mrs. Pinsent has slightly improved during the last day or two, but her daughter in law, Mrs. John Pinsent still lies in a very precarious condition. No accident of recent date in the town has been more deeply deplored than this, and it would be impossible for sympathy towards sufferers to be more profound than it has towards those unfortunate ladies.
