A violent storm burst over this neighbourhood on Sunday last, endangering life and doing considerable damage to property in this locality.
An old man who acted as parish clerk at Tyneham for many years was blown completely off his legs and very much shaken by the fall, and when he sought shelter at Tyneham House, the residence of Thomas Bond, Esq., the poor old man was in a very distressed and exhausted state.
A number of fine old trees, forming part of an avenue on the estate of the above-named gentleman, have been blown down and others dismembered, but the total amount of damage is not yet ascertained.
