ACCIDENTS AND NATALITIES.
[Pee Press Association."! NAPIER, Mat 15. A shocking accident occurred at Hastings last night, about six o'clock. A boy named Peter Jarvis, aged sixteen years, who for some time past has carried the mails for Mr J. N. Williams, of Frimley, was riding back to that placo after procuring the letters from the evening mail, when he came into collision with a cart belonging to Mr Roache, and driven by a boy named Gibles. He was thrown to the ground, and the cart passed over him, but, though terribly, injured, he was able to call out and implore the other boy to come to his assistance ; but the latter, who received 'a great fright, drove .on -with all haste. Jarvis was able to crawl to his own home, ■which -was not .very far distant. On medical aid arriving, the doctor found that Jarvis was completely disembowelled, and injured beyond all hope of recovery.
