jumped out, in order to save himself, but fell with
such force that two of his ribs wete broken, and his

since, as two Gentlemen, of tolerable bulk, were as-
cending a very steep hill in a.gig, en their way from
Newhaven to Brighton, the harness gave way, and
the vehicle, detaching itself from the horse, at neatly
the top of the hill, ran backwards to the bottom to
distance of at least 50 yards) without doing any further
injury to the Gentlemen than shooting them out, ju:t
to remind them another time, out of cothpasion to
the horse, to alight and walk!
