by ChrisW @, Sunday, April 06, 2008, 12:02 (5863 days ago) @ admin

March: Last week an inquest was held at Walford, in Herefordshire, on the body of JOHN BRIGHT, a pauper of that parish, and a common beggar, who was found dead near his own house. He was supposed to be very poor; but on examining his house, after his death, it appeared that he had contrived to amass a considerable sum, the greatest part of which was in cash, and sufficient to have enabled him to live comfortably and independent. Verdict, Died by the Visitation of God.
