to Maws. Foot and Danielle, outside whole house, in
High Beet-street, the doctor pulled up after his late
drive. No sooner had Mr. Day dismounted than the
animal bolted up the street at • tremendous pace.
Turning the owner wanly, and clearing the town pump,
the horse tore down South-street, but, on turning the
corner of the South Walks to make for his stables,
which are near at hand, he came to grief. The trap
cam in contact with the corner of Mr. Lock's gate-
way, and turned wan, cushions, sod everything moor
able into the road. The doctor and the polio, had
followed sharply on the heels of the home-nick hone,
but, on arriving_ on the wens of the oollision, no hone
was to be found, but sundry portions of the trap were
erewe shout the road. The policeman searched for
the runaway, but in vain, and, on the following morn-
ing, he was found in one of Mr. Haynes fields, at
Tordingtos, with the wreck of the trap behind him.
&mg* to say, with the exception of • alight abrasion
on the shoddier, the horns was uninjured.
