Mr. Horwood's accident
ACCIDENT.- On Thursday evening last, an accident happened at this station [Wolverton] to Mr. Horwood, of Old Stratford. It appears that Mr. Horwood, who is between 60 and 70 years of age, came into the station by an up-train and when alighting therefrom, by some means or other his foot slipped, and one of his legs got between the carriage and the platform. He was extricated as soon as possible, when it was found that his leg was broken near the knee. He was immediately conveyed to his residence at Old Stratford, where he received every attention from his medical adviser.
