Entry  WELCHMAN � At the residence of his brother-in-law, Mr Hamilton, Surgeon, Ampthill, Beds., Major Welchman, late of the Honourable East India Company's Service, aged 50 years [ His death was occasioned by accident. He had been down to Lord Tavistock's estate, for the purpose of hunting with his Lordship's hounds. On a day that the hounds did not meet the Major, to amuse a nephew of his (a boy of about 10 years old), went out to shoot small birds; when, in getting over a hedge, he left the gun in his nephew's hands, who in handling it to him through the hedge, gave the barrel end to the Major, and the gun went off, lodging its whole contents under the right arm of the unfortunate gentleman. He was two hours on the ground before assistance arrived. He died two hours afterwards. Major Welchman had been nearly 30 years in India, and had not long returned to England with a good property].
