CIP 11.6.1887: Accident. —What might have proved a serious accident occurred near the Mill-road Railway-gate on Tuesday morning. A young man named Maltby, butcher, of Gwydir-street, had just crossed the rails in his father’s cart, from the Town side, when the tug strap of the saddle broke. The shafts consequently came to the ground and were smashed. The horse’s legs became entangled in the harness and broken pieces of shaft, which very naturally frightened the animal. It started off down the road, and Maltby unfortunately, was thrown out of the trap. Assistance was, happily, at hand, and the young fellow received medical attention as soon as it could be obtained. Mr. Turnell (surgeon) examined him and pronounced him to have been very much shaken and badly bruised ; but, fortunately, no bones were broken. The horse ran straight into a lamp-post, resulting in the complete smashing up of the cart. Maltby, we hear, is doing as well as can be expected.
