Mr. L. immediately dropped his pistol, and, after running about 40 yards, fell down. He was taken to the bathing-house, and thence to the Crown inn, where he expired early the next morning. The most perfect friendship subsisted between them; and the unfortunate deceased made oath that his death was accidental. |
