He started on horseback toon after the aocident to go to his parents residence, at j Tamaki, I think it is » T McDonald, a j neighbour, accompanying him as far as Hamilton, whioh they reached next moraing in time for the coach, after a •low cold nisht'i ride. The mai^ whioh fell with him did sot escape sostheleis : some of the bones of ber left shoulder are broken, so that it is doubtful whether ah* will lite to rear the foal she has.
