    2. >From The Standard ( London, England ), Wednesday, January 29,1862; pg. 4; Issue 11690. FATAL ACCIDENT TO MR. JAMES MORGAN, late Huntsman to Lord LONDSDALE, at Tring. An inquest was held at the residence of Edward PAYNE, Esq., of Hundridge, near Chesham, on Monday, before F. CHARSLEY, Esq., coroner, to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of Jim MORGAN, as he was familiarly called, aged 76, which took place on Saturday, in consequence of an accident he met with in pursuit of a fox. Lord LONSDALE's hounds met at eleven o'clock on Saturday morning, at Weedon Hill, near Chesham. Jim MORGAN's horse soon after the start stepped into hole, and made an ineffectual attempt to recover itself, and MORGAN fell heavily on the left side of his head. He remounted and followed in the chase for upwards of half an hour, when becoming worse he went into the residence of Edward PAYNE, Esq., of the Hundridge Farm, to whom he was much attached, and where he and his wife had been invited to dine. Several medical gentlemen were in attendance, but in vain; he was beyond the power of human skill, and a little after one o'clock, the veteran huntsman breathed his last without a struggle or a groan. He appeared perfectly conscious to the last. MORGAN leaves a large family behind him, many of whom follow the occupation which their sire followed before them. He was a man of excellent character. Below is an additional comment from The Bury and Norwich Post, and Suffolk Herald ( Bury Saint Edmunds, England ), Tuesday, February 04, 1862; pg 3; Issue 4154. [ The deceased, who was 76 years of age, was a native of Flowton, near Ipswich, and was formerly huntsman to Mr. LLOYD, of Hintlesham Hall ]
