“AN extraordinary incident has taken place on the Manchester, South Junction, and Altrincham Railway. The other afternoon a carriage with two horses was standing in the grounds of Mr. Sedgley, of Homefield, between Brooklands and Sale., when the animals were startled, and set off at a rapid pace towards the railway. They leaped a high hedge separating the line from the turnpike road, which is nearly on the same level, dragging the carriage after them. On reaching the line they swerved round in the direction of Manchester, and continued their journey, dashing through Sale station at a furious rate, and to the consternation of a number of persons awaiting the arrival of trains from opposite points. The officials at Stretford were communicated with by telegraph and the animals were stopped just before reaching a train brought up in that station. The most singular part of the story is that neither the carriage nor the animals were injured, and a little boy who got into the vehicle just before the horses started also made the perilous journey unharmed.”
