This evening the following dreadful accident happened:- A very genteel dressed man having got behind one of the Stratford stages, he unfortunately got entangled in the wheel, which at length drew him almost double between the spokes, and impeded the progress of the carriage.
To extricate the unhappy man it was found necessary to take off the wheel, when his head appeared nearly severed from his body, and otherwise shockingly mangled. He was taken to the Plough, at Mile-end, for the inspection of the coroner's inquest.
