Nov 13. MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE. On Wednesday se'nnight, as Mr J STEPHENS, of Aylburton, was in the act of going into his stables, one of the cart horses suddenly kicked the door, which sprung back and struck him such a violent blow on the temple, that he fell with the back part of his head upon some rough stones, which caused a concussion of the brain; and altho' medical aid was immediately at hand, and every means used, he expired about three o'clock the same evening. He was much beloved and respected by all who knew him. An inquest was held before WJ Ellis, Esq. Coroner, and a verdict of Accidental Death was returned.
