Bath. A melancholy accident happened here a few days since.
An elderly gentlewoman, returning from lady Huntingdon's chapel, being, as it is supposed, absorbed in her reflections, walked over the precipice, which is at some distance in front of that building, and fell into a mudrpool below. Being discovered by some chairmen, she was taken first to a surgeon's, and afterwards, her person being unknown, to the Casualty-hospital.
The cranium was so violently injured, that she died next morning.
It was, after some time, discovered, that this unfortunate sufferer was no other than Miss Mackworth, sister of the late sir Herbert Mackworth, bart.
