ACCIDENTS IN WAIKATO.—IN J USED BY CATTLE.

[BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORBE3PONDES-T.] Hamilton, Monday evening. Mb. Hindle, of. Whatawhata, sustained a somewhat serious accident this afternoon. He wa3 in a yard with some cattle, when he was charged by one and knocked about a good deal. The extent ot his injuries is not yet known. Dr. Edgelow was sent for from Hamilton. It is thought his shoulder is dislocated. Yesterday morning Mr. Thomas Wallnutt, of the Union Bank of Australia, was driving to Ngaruawahia. When about holf-way between that place and Hamilton the horse became restive, and the tilbury which he was driving was capsized, and he was thrown violently to the ground. The horse-broke away, and was caught by Mr. Alexander a mile further on the road. Mr. Alexander returned to the spot and found Mr. Wallnutt lying on the ground with one of his ankles broken. He was brought into Hamilton about 12 o'clock, and was attended by_ both Dra. Edgelow and Beale. The ankle is not only smashed, but the leg severely cut in more than one place. These wounds were sewed up by Dr. Edgelow at once, but the fracture was not reduced until later in the evening by Dr. Beale. '
