ACCIDENT TO A WEDDING PARTY.
The wedding of Mr. Goodridge, a gentleman of New-
foundland, with the daughter of Mr. N. Hunt, of Crabs-
park, took place at the parish church, Paignton, on
Thursday. While the carriages containing the bride and
bridesmaids were on their way from Crabspark to the
church, the horses of the second carriage Set to kicking and
bolted, and a collision with the carriage in front followed.
One carriage was completely smashed, and the bride, who
had to be dragged through one of the windows, with the
loss of many portions of dress, had a very narrow escape
of being killed. One of the gentlemen of the party had a
severe cut from the glass of the carriage, and others
received so great a shock that they were unable to pro-
ceed. The scene of the accident was strewed with wedding
paraphernalia. Other carriages were sent for, that thoki
who were uninjured might reach the church in time for
the ceremony.
