SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—We lament to say, that
a footman of Mr. W. CAVENDISH, the Member, for
Derby, arrived in town yesterday morning, by the
mail, with the melancholy tidings of the premature
death of his worthy master, by a dreadful accident.
The lion. Member was on a visit to his father, Lord
GEO. CAVENDISH) at his seat at Ho:ker Hall, near
Cartmel; over the Lancaster Sands, where the
Noble-Lord and his family generally are at this time
of the year. Last Tuesday Mr. Wm. CAVENDISH
was out taking the diversion of shooting wild ducks,
accompanied. by Mr. SMITH, his tutor, when
at college, and his brother CHARLES, 3 youth about
eighteen years of age. About tour o'clock they all
three got into a gig, or buggy, in the vark, Mr.
CHARLES CAVENDISH taking the reins. They had
proceeded but a very short way, when the reins by
some accident broke, and the horse ran away, and
Mr. Wm. CAVENDISH was thrown out, and pitched
on his head. It is suspetled he received a kick 611
his head from the horse; but whether that was the
cause or not, he never spoke any more.
