Cambridge Chronicle 15 Jan 1853: John Haggis broken leg

TRUMPINGTON. — Accident. — On Monday last, as John Haggis, labourer, in the employ of Mr. Thos. Bland, of the Green Man, was at work on a ladder, on the outbuildings in the farm-yard, he suddenly slipped off, and was precipitated to the ground, a distance of 8 or 10 feet, he was immediately picked up and conveyed to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, where it was ascertained that he had sustained a complete fracture of one of his legs; but we are happy to say that he is in a very favourable way of recovery.
