Mr Nichols’ butchers delivery cart was proceeding along Hills Road when the horse shied at a piece of paper blown in the wind and charged full tilt into the window of Mr E. Field, chemist. The glass was shivered into fragments, cameras, bottles containing chemicals and perfumes came hurtling down from shelves upon the maddened animal whose head was pierced by a stout iron bracket. It snapped off and remained embedded in the skull until the horse was liberated and death mercifully assisted. 07 04 03
