(WHTED PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Woodtilk, This Day. A. serious 'accident occurred litre last night. A pair of horses bolted -with a brake at the Wooilville end of the Gorge, and the brake with five occupants, including three ladies, was thrown over the cliff into the river bed. Two of the ladies were injured and the rest escaped almost unhurt. Of those injured the wife of the Rev. J. Worboys is m a critical state from internal injuries, and Mra Sowry had her foot crushed. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Dr Macintire was sent for at 1 o'clock this morning to attend upon the sufferers by the accident. We are sorry to hear that Mrs Worboys is m a very critical state indeed, baviug received very severe internal injuries. It is supposed that she ■was hurt by some cases of goods falling upon her, and various severe contusions are the result. We trust to learn th.ftt th.c injuries, are less, serious, than are now apprehended. We should imagine that the kingbolt must have come out of the t>rake, thus allowing the body of the conyeyance to wptiw over the cliS',
