Serious Accident to a Coach. — The following particulars of au accident that occurred a short time ago to the Qneenstown (Otago) coach are given by Mr. Henry, the proprietor and driver, who says that it was caused by one of the horses shying while passing a small gully in a very narrow part of the road between Clyde and Cromwell, and in which there is a sharp turn. The coach, horses, driver, and passenger were precipitated down a steep bank, about 100 feet in height, into the Molyneux, which at this point is deep. The passenger either got out or ■was thrown out when the coach was about half-way down the bank, and escaped with some bruises. The driver, coach, horses, and mail bags went into the river. The driver succeeded in swimming to the bank. One of the horses that got clear of the coach and harness, was found on the other side of the river next morning but the coach and other horses have not since been seen* Five of the mail bags were recovered at the Teviot, about forty-five miles lower down the river. There were eleven mail bogs in the coach. The accident was one which appears to have been purely accidental. From the remarks that were made in the Bankruptcy Court duriDg the hearing of some of the cases, it appeared that Messrs. B. Beaumont and H. Wharton ■were two of the gentlemen who have been made to suffer considerably through their connection with Mr. J. D. Tetley-, the gentleman who, after obtaining possession of all the funds he could induce his friends or others to entrust him with, levanted to fresh lands. Mr. D. Beaumont stated that he had been obliged to come from England to have his share in the matter set right. Throughout the whole affair he has been the sufferer, from the doubledealing of Mr. Tetley; and that a gentleman in his position should be compelled to come from England to New Zealand on purpose to obtain release from the meshes into which he had been drawn through the machinations of a man "who once held a high position in New Zealand, was felt to be a hardship of no ordinary kind. It is to be hoped that Mr. Beaumont's experience will not lead him to believe that there are many here of Mr.Tetley's stamp; and, with all who have any knowledge of the case, we can only regret that there should have arisen any necessity for the appearance of Mr. Beaumont in the Bankruptcy Court. So far as he is personally concerned in these transactions, he may be termed sans reproche. His Honor the Judge was clearly of this opinion, as be intimated that be bad no objection for the Registrar of the Court to write a letter for Mr. Beaumont conveying this sentiment. —Marlborough Press.
