accident happened in Bealey Street last evening just after 5 o’clock, Mr J. Johnstone, of Davidson’s Foundry coming into collision with a spring dray driven byMrT. Staines, jr. It appears that the dray was proceeding north and the driver saw Johnstone, who was walking on the footpath. Apparently Johnstone (who is somewhat deaf) attempted to cross the road without hearing the cart, and the next the driver saw was the man almost in front of tlie vehicle, the left shaft striking Johnstone and knocking him down, inflicting some bodily injuries sufficient to keep him in bed to-day.
