Mr Eagles had two boys with him in the cart, the elder of whom seeing the danger jumped out before the cart left the road, but tho other with Mr Eagles, remained in the cart. Mr Eagles was badly bruised on his right side, particularly on the thigh ; while the lad was not only bruised, but nearly drowned.
