ACCIDENTWilliam Brealey, in the employ of Mr. J. Allibone, was on Wednesday returning from Ravenstone mill, with a wagon and two horses, when between Olney and Weston Underwood the hind horse set off kicking, and he had great difficulty to hold it in. He ran for some distance at the horse's head, when unfortunately he stumbled over a stone and fell to the ground, the wagon wheels passing over him and breaking the bone in the small of the arm. He was at once taken to Dr. Grindon, of Onley, who after binding up the arm sent him on to Northampton Infirmary.

KEEPING A DOG WITHOUT A LICENSE—Thomas Labutt, of Easton Maudit, was charged with keeping a dog without a license. Defendant did not appear. The information was laid by Mr. Tomlin, an officer of excise, who saw the dog on defendant's premises on Feb. 13th. On the 23rd of the same month a license was taken out. The Supervisor, who stated the case to the Bench, said that before the summons was taken out he represented the case to the Board of Inland Revenue and they agreed to accept the commuted fine of 7s. 6d. He wrote to the defendant telling him this, but he had taken no notice of his letter, and so it became necessary to take out a summons. The defendant was behind time last year in taking out his license. Fined 7s. 6d. and 10s. 6d. costs.
