June: A melancholy accident happened on Wednesday last, at Purton Pill, in the parish of Lidney, in this county. DANIEL WILES, late of Coleford, carpenter, a lunatic, going to wash himself in the river Severn, at the entrance or mouth of the Pill, the shore being very steep, soon got out of his depth. A person of the name of BARRETT, standing on the shore, and seeing his eminent danger, instantly leaped into the river with intent to save him; when WILES, by catching hold of BARRETT's clothes, so entangled him as not to be able to extricate himself therefrom, and after many violent struggles they both sunk and were unfortunately drowned. It is remarkable, that BARRETT has had two brothers and a cousin drowned within a few years past.
