HBH 1892 Oct 25 PARKINSON Accident A little boy, son of Mr PARKINSON, of the Exchange Hotel, met with an accident yesterday. A man put two children on his horse for a ride, and presently one got off, leaving the little boy sitting behind the saddle. Before the child could shift his position and get on the saddle the horse bucked and threw him to the ground. He was picked up insensible and carried to his home, where Dr. MIRBACH attended him, and I understand he is now little the worse.

A meeting of creditors was held yesterday at HASTINGS in the estate of James MEAD, contractor. Mr B.L. KNIGHT was voted to the chair in the absence of the Official Assignee.

HENN, who has been compulsorily "retired" by the Government from his position in the Postal Department, will receive a public recognition of the value of his time in the service.
