About the third attempt, the horse reared and turned, which suddenly unseated Mr Hunter – he fell on his head, crushing the crown inwards, and was taken up senseless; blood was gushing from his mouth and ears. Medical aid was speedily called. Mr Assistant Surgeon Jackson was first in attendance, but nothing could be done! - The poor gentleman never spoke again, and was dead in an hour after the accident. He is to be buried this evening.” | | Edition Year | 1838 | | Edition Date | Vol II, No XI, November 1838 |
