Accident: For the past few days two or three men have been employed in painting the front of some of the houses of business on Fore-street-hill, and yesterday, afternoon while one of the men was raising ladder, a rather stiff wind blowing at the time, it fell and struck him to the ground, severely bruising one of his arms. Mrs. Pinsent, of Commercial Road, who was passing the time was also struck on the head by the falling ladder and rendered insensible. The unfortunate lady was conveyed to Mr. Blackmore’s, chemist, which adjoins the place where the accident happened, where restoratives were administered to her, and on her recovering consciousness she was conveyed in a cab to her home.
