    Fatal Accident.— News reached Bathurst last night that Mr Robert Stinson, one of the oldest residents of Blayney district, yesterday met with a fatal accident at Brown's Creek. He was one of the spec-tators at the races there, and was standing with Sergeant Roche when one of the horses ran off the course and collided with them. Both gentlemen were knocked down, the Sergeant, fortunately, not sus-taining any serious injury; but Mr, Stinson was so badly hurt that death supervened.
