As two young gentlemen, brothers, were amusing themselves by firing at a mark with a pistol, in their garden, at Palmer's-terrace, Holloway, unfortunately one of them shot too high ; and the ball entered the eye of a young lady, Miss Radford, while standing at the drawing-room-window in an opposite house. The ball has not yet been extracted, and the lady's recovery is of course despaired of.
The young men are both in custody.
Miss Radford, the young lady who accidentally received a pistol ball in the eye, as mentioned in page 43, is expected to recover; the eye, behind which the ball lodges, is entirely lost. The ball can never be extracted.
