AUCKLAND.
This day.
A fearful accident occurred in Chapel street to-day. Three lads were driving in Leonard's milk cart, when the horse bolted. When it. reached . Worrall's grocery store, in West Queen street, it struck the kerbing, completely capsizing the cart and turning the horse on its back, with the legs kicking in the air. The three lads were thrown into the gutter and partially covered by the cart. The head of one of the lads' came into violent contact with the asphalt of the path, which inflicted a terrible wound on the right temple, a.pool of blcod nearly a foot ;n diameter markiog the spot where he fell. The wheel of the cart rlso remained right across his .thigh, and the struggling of the horse..caused the iron theto graze, the bruised flesh very badly. The other two'lads escaped with slight contusions, one of them 'getting his face cut in two or three places,- while the other complained of his thumb being sprained. On medical examination it was proved that, the first lad, r.lthough seriously, was riot fatally injured ; the sku'l was not fractured, nor any bones broken. Arrived : Lady Bird, from the Bouth.
