Details: An accident occurred on Friday night, about half-past eight o clock, to Dr. John Pierce, between Waratah and Wallsend. It appears he had an occasion to go and see his brother, Dr. Robert Pierce, at Waratah. The night being rather dark, about one hundred yards this side of the Big Hill, the surface of the ground has fallen in by the Waratah Company taking out all the coal, which has left this place in a very dangerous state, the doctor coming cantering at an easy pace, when, unfortunately for him, his horse got into one of these open cracks with his two front feet, and fell over on his side, and the unlucky doctor had the misfortune to be undermost, which resulted in damaging his left foot severely. The lid of his left knee is badly cut, also a deep gash on the left arm near the elbow. His shoulder on the same side was so badly hurt that it was impossible for him to move it. On his arrival at Wallsend, after the accident, thirty-two leeches were applied to his foot, which he got a considerable amount of relief from. He has been bedridden ever since, but I am informed there are none of his bones fractured, and that he expects to be well enough shortly to attend to some small portion of his duties

Details: Old residents of the Upper Hunter will remember the fatal accident in a Queensland drafting yard that bereft Mr. and Mrs. Keys of their eldest son, to whose return they were just looking with fondest expectancy; of the still more tragic shooting accident which hurried their second son into eternity ; then-after an interval-the early death of their eldest daughter, who was for a short time the wife of Dr. Robert James Pierce,, but who all to soon, after a short illness left him a widower with one little child, a son, who has ever since been the care of his grandmother, Mrs. Keys, of Bengalla. It is not long since old Mr. Keys himself died, and a few months happened at short intervals two fatal buggy accidents, which caused the deaths of Miss Bessie Hudson Keys, and Mr. FitzGerald (a relative of the family), the latter gentleman being killed in the streets of Muswellbrook. And now follows another blow in the unexpected death of Dr. Pierce. His son and the whole Kaye family have the sympathy of the whole of the Northern districts in their latest and all too sudden bereavement

He studied medicine and surgery in his native city, taking his degree at the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland. In 1864 he arrived in Melbourne as surgeon of the Tornado, soon afterwards visiting Newcastle, where he succeeded Dr. Knaggs as coroner and returning officer, and for five years practised his profession. He then removed to Muswellbrook and was appointed Government medical officer and surgeon to the hospital.

He was visiting surgeon of the hospital for ten years, and for the last five has held the position of consulting physician.
