We very much regret to record that the Mayor’s little- daughter Freda met with a severe accidci.t this morning It seems that she w; s in the trap as it was being unhitched at Mr Smith’s blacksraith’s’shnp, Something startled the horse and it bolted, the trap striking the kerb and canting violently throwing little Freda between the wheel and the body of the cairinge.
