vice of Harrison, Esq., a gentleman residing in that
neighbourhood. Page had only a few minutes previously set
down his maste; and wasdirected by him to proceed to the
stables and put up, as he should want him no more till the
following morning; he was accerdingly doing so, and going
along at a quiet pace, when the horse suddenly became un-
manageable. Finding himself unable to check the animal's
career, he jumped out of the vehicle (a phaeton), and in
doing so received severe injuries in the spine and broke his
leg. He was immediately carried into the house of Mr.
Nisbett, a surgeon, who set his leg, and afforded every neces-
sary assistance. He was eventually carried home, and
though out of danger, suffering acute pain.
