ME. HODGSON, M.P.—While driving into Carlisle
in a dogcart yesterday Mr. W. N. Hodgson, M.P., met with
a serious accident through his horse taking fright on the
steep hill to the north of Edenbridge, near the city. The
animal ran away and dashed the vehicle against the para-
pet of the bridge. Mr. Hodgson was thrown out, and fell
heavily on his head upon the edge of the flagged footway,
sustaining an extensive scalp wound which bled profusely ;
he also had a rib broken. lie remained insensible for more
than an hour, but rallied a little at night. His condition
is still dangerous.
