Drowned at Sligo

Drowned in the bay of Sligo, Francis Goold, esq., of Dromada, co. Limerick, High Sheriff of that county. The deceased was on a boating excursion in the bay of Sligo, with his nephew, the eldest son of Sir Robert Gore Booth, bart., when the boat was upset, and both gentlemen were plunged into the water. Mr. Gore Booth regained the boat, and held on till secured by a pilot boat; but Mr. Goold, though an excellent swimmer, sank to rise no more, being encumbered by his clothes, and, it is supposed, by the additional weight of bullets, which he carried for shooting sea-fowl.
