Carriage

A carriage was a human land vehicle usually pulled by horses or other animals. Before the advent of the automobile, it was one of the primary means of transportation for humans over long distances.

Types of carriages included the chariot, (TV: The War Games) tikka-ghari, (PROSE: All-Consuming Fire) Hansom cab, (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang) hearse, (TV: The Unquiet Dead), Coach, (TV: Tooth and Claw) Brougham, Landau, Phaeton, Sociable, Victoria, (TV: Deep Breath) and stagecoach.

He executed three horses in a single week for their insubordination and nearly performed a fourth execution on another before a street urchin pointed out the way to Sweetville.
