Mr Sothern, the comedian, during a run with Baron Rothschild's staghounds on January 20, met with a severe accident. He was going at racing speed at a double, when his horse swerved and took the fence sideways, landing the rider with his face against a tree. After considerable loss of blood, he was lifted into tho saddle and contrived,. to get back to Leighton Buzzard, where he was properly attended to. He is riow under the care of Sir Henry Thompson, and, though much bruised, will soon be able, it is hoped, to move about again. Mr Sothern, who has lately been recruiting his health by country air and exercise, was at the time of his mishap a guest of Baron Rothschild, and feeling somewhat better than he has been for some time past, he yielded to the* temptation of 4 day's favorite sport.
