A woman, named Sarah Mulholland, aged 63, and a very old resident of Rylstone, was thrown from her horse when proceeding to attend a midwifery case. Dr. Newton, of Mudgee, was telegraphed for, and at once proceeded to the scene of the accident, but Mrs. Mulholland was beyond the aid of medical skill, and died shortly after the doctor's arrival. The cause of death was concussion of the brain.'
