Geo. <wondering what the difference between fatal and very fatal might be.> The Times, Tuesday, Oct 26, 1819; pg. 2; Issue 10760; col E MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. - A very fatal accident occurred to the Lord Wellington coach, on the road between Kendal and Shap, on Sunday evening se'nnight, near the inn at High Borrow-bridge, known by the name of Huck's. The hill from the north to this inn is upwards of a mile in length, the upper part of which is an easy descent; at the middle part, there is a short space of level road where carriages are usually locked to descend the steeper part below. In the dusk of the evening, the Lord Wellington coach, in coming down this hill, was overturned with eleven passengers, inside and outside, four of whom were most dreadfully injured: one of them died on Monday, another on Tuesday, and the other two were severely hurt, but are in a fair way of recovery. The inside passengers escaped. An inquest was held on the bodies on Tuesday, when verdicts of Accidental death were given in both cases; it being proved that the accident did not occur, in the slightest degree, from the negligence of the driver or guard, but by the unexpected breaking of the reins, whereby the horses became unmanageable. The names of the unfortunate deceased are, John NICHOLSON, of Renwick, Cumberland, whose right thigh was nearly cut through, much lacerated, and the bone broken, and otherwise much mangled; and John ELLIS, (from what part is not known), who had both his legs broken, was otherwise much bruised and lacerated, and had sustained an injury upon the brain, which his medical attendants believed was the immediate cause of death.
