140 ANNUAL REGISTER, 1818. [Oct 



cation, opposite each man's 

 name, of the reason* for recom- 

 mending his discharge. 



(Signed) J. Macdonald, 

 Deputy Adjutant-General. 



Saturday morning, the 10th, as 

 Mr. Bowles, of Spalding, and his 

 nephew, were taking the diver- 

 sion of shooting, near Crowland, 

 the dog sprung a covey of part- 

 ridges, which flew into an adjoin- 

 ing field. The nephew, in his 

 eagerness to follow them, jumped 

 over a hedge. The uncle, Mr. 

 B., following very quick, unfor- 

 tunately his piece went off, and 

 lodged the contents in the body 

 of the youth, who is only 16 

 years of age. Surgical assistance 

 was immediately obtained, but 

 he died in a few hours afterwards. 



" The Queen has not had a 

 good night; and her Majesty 

 feels a want of that refreshment 

 which she has lately derived from 

 sleep.

Murder at Chelsea. — Yesterday 

 evening the 12th an inquisition 

 was taken at the Triumphant 

 Chariot, Pembroke-mews, Gros- 

 venor-place, on view of the body 

 of Mary Ann Losch : — 



Mrs. AnnDaynan, of Lawrence 

 court, Jews'-row, Chelsea, stated, 

 that on Friday night, while she 

 was conversing with the deceased, 

 the husband of the latter, who 

 was standing near them, came 

 forward, and said to her, " Come 

 home, you are drunk." She 

 replied, " If I am drunk, it is by 

 prostituting my..elf to support an 



* Age, under size, wounds, dis- 

 ease, long services. 



idle fellow like you." She had 

 no sooner uttered these words 

 than he struck her with some- 

 thing. She staggered and fell on 

 her back, exclaiming, " I am 

 murdered ; pull the knife out ot 

 me.'' The husband appeared 

 sober. 



Richard Clark, in addition to 

 what he stated at Queen-square 

 police-office, said, that he had a 

 distinct view of the husband by 

 the light of a candle in a hair- 

 dresser's shop ; he did not ob- 

 serve him have any knife, but 

 saw him fumbling in his pockets 

 before he struck the deceased; 

 after he struck her, and before 

 she fell to the ground, she ex- 

 claimed, " O my God, I am 

 murdered ; will any one take the 

 knife out of me ?'' Witness stepc 

 forward to keep her up, but she 

 fell before he reached her, and 

 then uttered the same exclama- 

 tion ; don't know who pulled the 

 knife out : conceives that neither 

 she nor the husband were in- 

 toxicated. 



Mr. William Treadaway, 2, 

 George -street, Sloane- square, 

 coal-merchant, was present at 

 the horrid transaction ; just as 

 the deceased fell, he heard a 

 scream of murder; he stepped 

 towards her, and saw part of her 

 bowels ; she said, " take the 

 knife out of me." Elizabeth 

 Harrison cried out to the husband. 

 You have murdered your wife : 

 saw no knife ; but the husband 

 was standing by her ; he said, " I 

 am the murderer, take me." The 

 husband had kicked her before, 

 during the evening, very violently. 



The evidence of Elizabeth 

 Harrison and the watch-house- 

 keeper con'oborated the above.
