ACCIDENT TO MR BROWNE, M.P.C.
Our readers will learn with very great regret that Mr. G. F. C. Browne, M.P.C. for Waitahuna, and proprietor of the Waitahuna Coal Pit, met with an accident of a very serious nature on Wednesday last. On the piorning of that day Mr Browne was driving a’horse, with an empty dray attached, to his Eit. From some eause or another the horse olted, and Mr Browne, whe was driving at the time, leaping from the shafts to catch hold of the beast, stumbled and fell, and the dray passed over the lower part of his spine and back. Dr Bailey, of Tuapeka, was at once sent for, and was soon in attendance The injuries done to the spine, however, must have been of a very serious nature, as the lower portions of Mr Browne’s body were completely paralysed. On Thursday piorning he was somewhat easier, and warible to move one of his feet; but on Friday he relapsed, and though he seemed to get a little better on Sunday morning yet on the evening of that day he had become again Tfery b a d. He now lies in a most precarious Wb.— ‘Bruch Herald.’ ~
