Sunday afternoon, as a Lady was driving a high phaeton near the King of Bohemia's Head, Turnham Green, with her two children, maid, and lap-dog, attended by a servant behind on horseback, the horses, without any other carriage being near them, turned out of the road, which the Lady not attending to in time, they were overturned in a very dirty part of the road, and the whole family almost smothered with mud. The Lady and maid were much hurt, and one of the children, about three years old, was thrown upon the bank by the maid, by which its cheek was cut, but its life in all probability saved. Some of the inhabitants, and the company from the tavern, took every means for the relief of the distressed mother; and she soon had news that the surgeon had pronounced the childrens bones to be whole, and to complete her happiness after the fright, Chloe, the lap-dog, was brought safe to her arms.
