44 Mr. brereton’s Account of the violent Storm 
was fhattered to pieces, and the pofts of a bed in a room behind 
it, and all the bell-wires were deftroyed. 
Under the dining-room Mr. adair was in, on the parlour 
floor, were his coachman, butler, and footman. The coach- 
man was going to opni a glafs-door to go towards the fea, and 
was ftruck dead. His body was totally black. His cloaths, 
and the caul of his wig, anc j cravat, were much torn ; but no 
particular flelh wound was found. The enamelled face of his 
lilver watch was broken to pieces, and the links of his fteel 
chain fattened together. 
The footman was drcfling his hair near a window, when he 
was thrown dead on the ground. He appeared much fcorched, 
bruifed, and black. He -had a very large wound in his lide 
which penetrated near his heart ; but very little, if any, blood 
came from it. His buck-lkin breeches were much torn, and the 
fteel of a metal knee-buckle driven through them. The window 
fafh was driven into the room, and a ftone, about eight inches 
iquare, forced out of the wall into the middle of the room, 
not far from the body. The butler was a yard or two behind 
the coachman, and going out with a telelcope in his hand, 
which was forced in pieces from him, his hat and wig were 
^ thrown to fome diftance, and he perceived a violent preffure on 
his Ikullandonhisback, but was no otherwiie hurt. He had a 
lilver watch with a lilver chain, which received no damage. 
In the room over Mr. adair’s,’ a young lady was drefling, 
and her maid attending. They were both driven to a diftant 
part of the room, and rendered infenttble for fome time, but 
not hurt. The pofts of the bed ftie had juft loft were all Ihivered 
to pieces, and the bell wires deftroyed, and the chimney thrown 
down on the roof.
