A dreadful accident happened last week to a son of William Davis, of Bourne, Lincolnshire.
A new threshing machine, which had been lately erected in the neighbourhood, excited the curiosity of several people to see it work; among others, the above lad (contrary to the injunction of his father) went for that purpose; the father happened to go also; and the boy perceiving him come, crept under part of the machine, in order to conceal himself, when one of the wheels caught his clothes, and drawing him among the works, broke his collar-bone, one of his arms in three places, both his thighs, both his legs, and cut his head in a dreadful manner.
