TO THE EDITOR OF'THE SUN.
Sirt,—l beg to contradict the statement in the re-
port of the proceedings at Bow-street on Wednes-
day last which emanated from your journal, and
which was circulated through the majority of the
other daily papers.
Your report stated, that on the fine of 2/. being in-
flicted, and the money not forthcoming, I was locked
up (or to that effect); in contradiction of which, I
beg leave to assert that the fine was immediately
paid, and, also, that if the amount had been 101. I was
prepared to meet it. In giving publicity to this, you
will greatly oblige, Sir, yours, very obediently,
R. HATT.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT TO PRINCE ALBERT'S GROOM
WHILE BIDING IN ATTENDANCE UPON HIS ROYAL
HIGHNESS.—Tuesday afternoon between one and two
o'clock, Herr Huisch, groom to Prince Albert, met with
a very serious accident in Windsor Great Park, while he
was riding in attendance upon the Prince, who was re-
turning from shooting to luncheon with her Majesty, at
the Castle, at two o'clock. His Royal Highness, who
was on horseback, galloping at great speed, on passing
through the double gates, followed by his groom, imme-
diately left the road for the green sward on the west
side of the Long Walk. The horse on which the groom
was riding, a magnificent yet extremely vicious animal,
immediately dashed in amongst the trees, causing the
head of its unfortunate rider to come into fearful contact
with a projecting branch, unhorsing him, and throwing
him to the ground with fearful violence. The poor man,
the blood gushing from his head and face, was imme-
diately taken to the lodge at the double gates, where he
received every attention from the keeper and his wife.
Information of the accident having been forwarded to
Windsor, a fly was dispatched to the double gates, in
whieh the sufferer was conveyed to his apartments at the,
royal mews, where he was attended by Mr. Brown, sur-
geon to the royal household, and Mr. Andrews. It was
ascertained that the man, who was suffering the most
excruciating pain, had experienced (in addition to serious
internal injuries, and a contusion on the face by coming
into contact with the branch of a tree) a compound frac-
ture of the collar bone. Late last evening the man was
doing as well as could be hoped fer, although still en-
during great pain. The horse, after knocking down the
son of a gentleman residing at Windsor, but, fortunately,
without his sustaining any injury, was secured just be-
fore it reached the lodges in the Frogmore-road. The
Prince was not aware of the accident until after ho
reached the Castle. His Royal Highness immediately
dispatched a messenger to the mews, to inquire into the
nature of his groom's injuries, and gave strict commands
that every attention should be paid to him which his
state required.

LARGE HALIBUT.—WhiIe Messrs. Boddan and
M'Cullech, Stranracr, were out in Lochryan last Thurs-
day, plying their vocation, they had the good fortune to
meet with a splendid specimen of the halibut. Although
the tug of war was rather keen between the combatants,
they, by tact and skill, succeeded in giving it a free pas-
sage to terra firma. When weighed it was found to be
upwards of 2201 b., of excellent quality, and might have
graced the table of the Lord Mayor of London when
he and his guests on Saturday week did honour to the
good things of this world. We understand it met a
ready sale on Friday, and brought 24d. per pound.—
