RECK LYN DRIVING AND NARROW &CAI.% —On
Saturday last, as the driver of the King's Arms
omnibus was proceeding through Trinitpatrest to
the Great Western railway station with passenger@
for the 6 p.m. up train, while turning the corner
at the Junction Hotel, ran foul of a dung putt
coming down the road, fortunately without causing
damage, farther than frightening the passengers.
The omnibus was going at such speed that had it
not been, luckily as it turned out, checked by the
appmach of the putt in question, serious damage
would have been the result—most probably the
upset of the 'bus by running against the bank
opposite.
