STOKE ST. GREGORY.
ACCIDENT. - A rather serious accident happened in this parish on Saturday week. As Mr. Sam LOVERIDGE, of the Royal Oak, was driving home from Taunton, accompanied by his nephew and Mr. BIRD, the village blacksmith, the horse from some cause shied, when rounding Woolley-lane corner, and the occupants of the trap were thrown violently into the drain by the side of the road. Luckily they escaped with nothing more serious than a few scratches and a covering of mud.
