DREADFUL ACCIDENT.

On Tuesday afternoon last, about four o'clock,
a dreadful accident happeted in Coventry•street,
Haymarket, by which a poor man, named Robert
Pink, who was 50 years of age, and in time em-
ploy of Messrs. Howell and Reed, of Upper
Brook-street, Haymarket, lost his life :—Lnrd
Glenorchy was driving along Coventry street, and
on turning sharp round the corner of the street
into Prince's-street, while the deceased was on the
point of crossing the road into Sidney's-alley,
his Lordship's horse ran against him anti knocked
hint down : a cart, heavily laden with soil, was at
the same time proceeding along in the contrary
direction, and before the unfortunate man had
time to rise, the fore wheel of the vehicle passed
over his stomach. The canna!' was sitting upon
the shafts of the waggon, and his Lordship and
Mr. Derton, of Green-row, Chelsea, who was
passing by and saw the transaction, immediately
collared the carman, and noted down his num•
her. &c. ; and the former ordered the deceased to
be conveyed to a surgeon's : one surgeon refused
at first to take him in, but his Lordship insisted
that no excuse could suffice in a case of life and
death, and the man was at length taken in and
every- assistance was afforded, but he 'died so•An
after. His body was conveyed in a shell to St.
Ann's watch-house, Dean-street, and a Coroners
Inquest was yesterday held upon the body at a
pehlic-house in the same street, before F. HIGGs,
Esq. Coroner, where Mr. Derton, Lord Glenor-
chy's groom, and other witnesses attended, and
gave evidence to the above effect, when the Jury,
after some deliberation, returned a verdict of
Accidental Death, and levied a fine of 501. upon
Lord Gienorchy, and 40s. upon the carman who
drove the waggon for sitting on the shafts. Mr.
Derton, in consequence oft he man's poverty,offered
to tiny the fine ; but the Jury objected to it, inti-
meting that he richly, deserved to be punished, as
an example. Lord Gleuoichy sent a letter,
couched in the inoSt feeling terms of commisera-
tion for the unfortunate deceased's untimely end,
and expressing a consciousness that inure blame
rested on • him than on the carman,. and that
he would defray every eiknee, at the same time
mentioning that every inquiry abould be made
concerning the man's fatnily, in order to alleviate
their sufferings. The deceased has left- a son and
daughter to deplore his. loss.
