There are some cruel wretches on the Christchurch Plaine. Father O’Donnell, of Darfield, met with a serious accident whilst driving into Ohriatohurch about ten o’clock on a recent Friday night. His horse bolted after passing upper Riocarton, and ha was thrown out of hie trap, receiving a fracture of the collar-bone. He made hie way to a house near, and asked for admission, saying who he was and that ha had met with an accident, A woman inside told him to wait till the mon came home. It was raining, but as admission was refused, he had to wait in the wet till the men came. When they did, bo was taken, not into tbe house, but into the men's hut, where he waa allowed to lie down on a bunk. In the morning acme food was given to him, with an apology tor the negleet with which ba had been treated, and he than tteat at M OhrlitohuNb aad taw a flatter.
