Owen and Hartley
of Manchester
1838 'Serious Accident — On Friday week, a boy, named Charles Jackson, employed at Messrs. Owen and Hartley's dye-works, Gaythorn, Hulme, while in the act of conveying some fustian pieces to the dressing-room, was caught by the fly-wheel, which completely severed his left arm from his body, and otherwise severely injured him — We are happy to add, however, that he is in a fair way of recovery.
