The child, a little boy named Woodall, aged about four years, was playing in the street, and running across just as dray was approaching. . The drayman had no time to stop his horse before the child was knocked down by the vehicle, one of the wheels of which passed over his head and the upper part of his body.

Assistance was quickly at hand, and the boy was taken to Dr. Ram’s surgery, where he was attended to by Dr. Carr.
