A wild heifer entered Hawarden Park while Mr Gladstone was walking beneath the trees. The beast charged the Premier, knocked him down, and trampled on him. Fortunately the animal's horns were turned, and this prevented it from goring Mr Gladstone, who managed to escape and take refuge behind a tree. He was much shaken, but not seriously hurt.
