The fright had so great an effect

A few days ago,, while one Fenner, a turner, and Philpot; a carpenter, were drinking together at the sign of the three compasses at Tunbridge Wells, a quarrel arose between them, which proceeded to blows. During the battle, which was severely contested for some time, the fright had so great an effect on Mrs. Peek, the landlady, that she expired, though the most immediate and necessary means were applied for her recovery. But what is more extraordinary, on the news of her death being carried to a Mr. Field, at Mount Ephraim, about half a mile distant, and a relation of the deceased, the shock was so great, that he died while the melancholy story was relating to him.
