Newton Abbot: A serious carriage accident happened in Queen Street on Thursday afternoon: Mrs. Pinsent and Mrs. John Pinsent, junior, were driving through Devon Square in their pony carriage, when the animal was frightened by some boys riding a grocery truck and bolted. Crossing Queen Street, the carriage came in contact with the curb and corner of the house belonging to Mr. King, against which the ladies were thrown with considerable force and sustained serious injuries. They were immediately removed to their respective residences, and promptly attended to by Drs. Gage and Scott. Young Mrs. Pinsent has been unconscious ever since, owing to concussion of the brain, and her condition gives her friends great anxiety. Mrs. Pinsent, senior, had a collarbone broken and was insensible for some time, but has since shown some signs of amendment.

Newton: Late Carriage Accident: Up to Saturday night the two Miss Pinsents who were so seriously injured the previous Thursday through the running; away of their pony, had not recovered consciousness, and the worst fears were entertained respecting them. Mr. Cuming, of Exeter, well as their own medical attendants, Gaye, and Scott, had been in almost constant attendance on their patients, and their joy, as well as that of the public, will be great if their lives are spared.
