LADY MosfYN.—A. serious accident befel
Lady illosYYN on Tuesday evening, as her Ladyship was re-
turning from Spring Bank, about eight o'clock ; one of the
wheels of the carriage slipped into a water-shoot, and the shock
precipitated the coachman from the box, who immediately ran
to the heads of the horses, but was knocked down, and the
wheels going over him he was severely injured. The horses
proceeded at a smart trot, about 200 yards, when, unfortunately
Lady Mostyn attempted to leap out of ie carriage, and it is
supposed that her clothes entangled in the wheel, by which she
was thrown down, and her head and face dreadfully bruised;
she was taken up quite insensible, and conveyed to Spring
Bank. Several tnedical gentlemen were immediately sent for,
and an express dispatched to Sir E. Mostyn, at Leicester.—
The horses proceeded to Barbourne turnpike, where the keeper
as usual, threw open the gate, with which the,.carriage came in
contact, and the splinter bar was broken. The.footman leaped
from' the carriage at the first, and attempted to stop the horses,
but was unsuccessful. Five o'clock.—We regret to add,
that we have just received information that Lady Mostyn's
case is considered quite hopeless. Sir Edward has not yet
reached Spring Bank.—( Worcester Journal.)—Lady Mostyn
is since dead.
