>From Adam's Weekly Courant ( Chester, England ), Tuesday, September 9, 1777; Issue 2342. Sunday last a melancholy Accident happened at Church Lambourn, Berks; where a young Man took his Gun in order to keep the Birds from his Corn, not knowing it to be charged. Soon after his leaving Home some Boys joined him, who desired to have a little Powder put in the Pan, which the young Man very innocently consenting to, immediately fired it off, when, to his great Surprize, he found it charged, and the whole Contents lodged in the Face of John SPICER ,one of the Boys, who expired on the Spot. The same Day the Coroner's Inquest sat on the Body and brought in their Verdict :- Accidental Death.
