HBH 1890 June 9 HITCHENS-SCOTT Miss Hilda HITCHENS met with a nasty accident last night, owing to the dastardly action of some yahoos who placed a piece of timber in front of the gate opposite the entrance to Browning Street by the Cathedral. In coming out of the Cathedral she tripped over the obstruction, falling with great violence, and cutting and bruising her right arm. She was taken to the parsonage, where Mr H OWEN, chemist, attended to her injuries. The church authorities should strain a point to get a lamp at each of the Cathedral entrances, as cowardly tricks such as the one perpetrated last night would fail to be successful if the gate entrances were lit up. A serious buggy accident occurred yesterday afternoon to Mr SCOTT of the Crown Hotel, Spit, and his wife Mrs SCOTT
