Died 21st. At two o'clock, at his house in Upper Harley-street, in consequence of a dreadful accident he met with on the preceding Wednesday night, about eleven o'clock, William Bosanquet, esq.
He was making some alterations in his house, and, amongst others, had removed the balcony from his back drawing-room window: unfortunately forgetting this circumstance, he walked out, and immediately fell into the area, and, in his fall, broke the vertebrae of his back, and was otherwise most severely bruised and injured.
He was sensible of his inevitable dissolution, and bore his sufferings with a fortitude of mind almost unparalleled, dictating, in the extremity of torture, some additions to his will. He has left a most amiable lady and ten children to lament his loss.
Mr. Bosanquet was a son of the bank-director, and himself a partner in the banking-house of Foster and Lubbock.
