    1. [SXP] Tragic death of Rev. COLCOLE , also, escaped French Officer ( 1793 )
    2. >From Sun ( London, England ), Friday, November 1, 1793; Issue 341. The following melancholy accident happened a few days since at Burwash, in Sussex. The Rev. Mr. COLCOLE , an aged Clergyman, in a fit of insanity jumped into his draw-well, eighty feet deep, and was soon after taken out dead. A French Officer who had been imprisoned at Alresford, and liberated on his parole, one day last week made his escape from Worthing in a boat belonging to a fisherman, which he made free with for that purpose. On the shore nigh to where he embarked, were found his coat, two waistcoats, and a pocket-book.
