On Thursday a serious accident befel Mr. Wm. Hill B.Sc., younger son of Mr. and Mrs. T. Hill, Market Street, as a result of which he now lies in Nottingham Hospital suffering from concussion and injuries to the head. The patient, who is science master at High Pavement School, Nottingham, was motor cycling in the city when he came into collision with a motor car, and was taken to hospital in an unconscious condition. His mother spent the same night near at hand, and his friends have been in constant communications with the hospital since. On Tuesday Mr. Hill regained consciousness and was slightly better, but his condition still gives rise for anxiety. He belongs to a family of well known Parish Church members and was himself a member of the choir for many years, and on his occasional week-ends at home has filled his old place in the choir. Prayers were offered on behalf of the sufferer in the Parish Church on Sunday evening, and very sympathetic enquiries have been made by the Brunts School Mansfield, where Mr. Hill was head boy before proceeding to Nottingham University. He is 25 years of age.
