London Scottish—and Dr Dane were also on the
spot with very little delay. But it was evident no
skill, however great, could do more than prolong
the life of the poor man, whose sufferings were very
great. The bullet, avoiding the heart, had passed
through the lungs, and the occasional fits of cough
ing produced 1-mmorrage, were most distressing to
listen to, though for a few minutes the strength of
the medical men feeble hopes that he might rally.
His wife, to whom it appeared he had been very
recently married, was telegraphed for, and Cooper
was aesured before she arrived that if anything
happened to him she should be provided for. Lord
Dufferin drove some distance to meet her on the
way, and prepare her for the scene she was about
witness. About seven o'clock he returned with the
poor woman and her sister. In the meantime a
clergyman in camp had volunteered his services,
which were cheerfully accepted, end the wounded
man enjoyed, as well as his state would permit, the
consolations of religion. He, as well as Sergeant-
Major Roberts, by whom the shot was fired, were
men enjoying the highest character in the regiment,
The latter has for some time held the responsible post
of musketry-instructor to the Coldstream Guards,
and in that capacity has taken part in organising
numberless rifle meetings in different parts of
the country. According to his statement he aimed
I.oft to the right of the target. The bullet mark,
from subsequent examination, was what would be
called a high centre to the right. Roberte, upon
whom the occurrence naturally produced a terrible
impression, was removed to town to await the deci-
sion of the military authorities. In camp all firing
at the range where the accident occurred was sus-
pended, the bands stopped playing, and whatever
had been contemplated in the nature of festivities
for that evening was abandoned. It was felt, how-
ever, that it would not be fair to stop what must be
regarded as a national movement on account of such
a mishap, and firing was accordingly continued till
the usual hour at all the other ranges. Dr Pres-
cott Hewett, of St George's Hospital, who had been
telegraphed for immediately the event occurred,
aw Cooper at a late hour, and his report was that
the ciase was hopeless.
