Cobham, esq. of Shinfield, Berks. His horse fell under him, and his skull was found to be fractured; but the more immediate cause of his death was an injury done to the vertebrae of the neck, the consequence of which was a palsy of all the parts below the neck. He remained collected for some hours, and was able to dictate a codicil to his will, but died the morning after the accident. Mr. C. had acquired a handsome fortune in the East India Company's service, and was a man much and deservedly respected. |
