Accident at Makino
♦ Yesterday afternoon an accident happened to a young man named Henry Curran, one of the sons of Mr Curran, settler, of Makino road. From what we learn, the youth was as usual bringing on a dray loaded with firewood towards Feilding, on the top of which he was riding. When passing the gravel-pit which is situate near Mr Gregory's residence the horse shied, and the cart was precipitated into the pit. The unfortunate young fellow was released from under the load, which it appears fell upon him. Dr Johnston was immediately sent for, when it was found that a piece of wood had entered the lower part of his body. The wound was stitched up, and the sufferer received every attention, but when we last heard of his condition he was lying in a very precarious state.
