BEDHAMPTON.
On Thursday evening shortly before 5 o’clock a shocking accident occurred to a waggoner in the employ of Mr. Henry Stoueham, miller of Bedhampton. It appears that the waggoner was sitting in the front part of the waggon driving the Team, and one of the shaft horses when near Hilsea, commenced kicking in a fearful manner and the unfortunate man received a kick which broke one of his legs, and severely injured the other. He was conveyed to the Coach and Horses, near which the accident occurred, where he received medical assistance. The horse became entangled in the harness, but was extricated with promptitude, and but little injured.
