LONG STRATTON
An accident of a serious nature occurred on Saturday last at the mill belonging to Mr. T. Rayner. A young man named Balls in his employ was in the act of changing stones, when on a sudden the mill started and drew his left hand into the spur gears, when it was dreadfully crushed and but for the prompt assistance which was exerted in extricating him from his perilous position, the accident must have proved fatal. The unfortunate sufferer (who bears an excellent character) was immediately conveyed by Mr. Rayner to the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital, where prompt attention was given by the medical officers of the institution. He is, we understand, progressing favourably.
