ACCIDENT TO PRINCE ARTHUR - A very extraordinary and painful accident occurred to his Royal Highness Prince Arthur, just before a State Ball at Buckingham Palace.
The Prince was leaning against the window of the billiard-room which had been imperfectly fastened, when it gave way, and the Prince fell through it on to the pavement below. The distance was about eight feet, and the consequences of such a fall might have been most dangerous.
The Prince fell in such a manner that, though the back of his head was badly bruised and slightly wounded, the force of the fall was distributed along the whole length of his body, and, though the shock was necessarily very great, no other specific injury except that to his head occurred, and in the effort to save himself, the great toe of one foot was dislocated.
