HORSE BOLTING.
An occurrence took place at noon to-day, by which a little boy narrowly escaped being killed upon tho spot. A man named David Bell, from Tamaki, drove in a spirited young horse, and put him up at the stand at the Market place to feed. By some means tho animal became frightened, and made a start, rushing into the road, almost coming into collision with some express vans, then turning round, ran against the iron railing belonging to the bank. Several persons were standing; on the spot at the time, all escaped except a little boy from the Thames, who was knocked down, and very much bruised. Tho horse was secured before further damage was done. It is very disgraceful that people should leave their horses in this manner, and thus endanger life and limb.
