many carriage accidents in the past.
After the horses had travelled about
400 yards the driver was thrown be-
tween the footboard and the horses
heels, but almost miraculously, in his
fall TO the ground he escaped serious
injury. Mr.. Dame remained on the
seat and tried to get the reins. but
was unsuccessful. and after galloping
about 600 yards the frightened animals
dashed with terrific force into a high
hedge. The deceased vicar was thrown
off his seat and in his fall must have
been struck by the side of the bus.
The young ladies who were also on
the outside of the bus were thrown
over into a field and received no in
juries.
Great excitement prevailed INSIDE the
bus, the occupants being mostly ladies'
who expected every minute to be hur1-

lous to relate that although the side
of the bus which struck the wall was
smashed to matchwood not one of the
passengers was injured. %
