DINGToN COACIENIAN.—OH Sntmrday afternoon
Mr. Booth, auctioneer, of Chiswell-street, Fins-
bury, while proceeding to Somers"rown, in his
chaise.„ with his partner, Mr. Ifulme, during the
moment Mr. littlme was paying the toll at Battle
Bridge, a Paddington stage came down the hill,
drove at a most furious ra e by.the coachman, to
the 1011-bate, evidently with a determination by
force'to thrust his way tbrough,however dangerous

1170111elli between thegate.posts. The gate-keeper
called to the coachman to desist from driving so

caution, while within only a few paces of, the
gale, commenced whipping his horses—the con-

nearly one foot over the top Of the chaise, and
violently struck Mr. B. in the back, the sudden-
ness of which thrust Mr. B. from his seat, and
threw him out, to the imminent danger of his
life ; end, had it not been for his horse remaining
quiet, he must have been killed on the spot.
