Samuel Turner (Rector of Nettleton) was driving with his sister Mrs Moore, in a low basket carriage down the hill near Top House, Caistor, the horse suddenly became restive and darted off, galloping down into the town. The carriage struck against some steps at the George Inn, and Mr Turner was pitched out, and the hind wheels came off. The horse continued its fearful pace with Mrs Moore in the remnant of the vehicle, until it stopped at the end of South Street.

She was assisted into the house of Mr Codd, and in a few minutes was sufficiently recovered to walk home.
