Nov 4. FATAL ACCIDENT. On Saturday last, as a plough boy, named THOS. LILLY, was driving a team, in a field at the Old Grange, in the parish of Dymock, in this county, while in the act of turning at the headland, the horses took fright, and in his endeavour to stop them, the poor boy was thrown down, and the plough share was driven with such violence into his body, just below the ribs, as to occasion almost instantaneous death. An inquest was held upon the body, before John Cooke, Esq. Coroner, when a verdict of Accidental Death was returned.

This looks like the right burial even though it is a different surname:
