We learn that Mr G. H. Bayliss, contractor for a portion of the Wainui-o-mata Waterworks, met with rather a serious accident on the works yesterday afternoon. From what we have been able to gather it appears that Mr Bayliss was being driven along the tramway near the dam, when his left foot, which was hanging out of the truck, was struck by the horse, and, getting entangled, the ankle became twisted. We are sorry to hear that the accident will probably have the effect of confining Mr Bayliss to his house for some time.
