AN OLD SOLDIER.—Died, on Sunday last, at the
advanced age of 91, George Neal, of Grey Friars-lane,
in this city. He was a native of Coventry, and had
lived as post-boy at the King's Head Inn. When 18
years of age he entered the navy, and was with Admiral
Rodney, in the Formidable, in the action with the Comte
' de Grasse, in April, 1782, when he had his leg broken
hy a shot. He was discharged in 17E3. Being under
size, ho enlisted Into an independent company, under
the command of Capt. Roden, from which he was trans-
ferred to the 77th Regiment. He embarked the same
year for India, where he served under Generals Harris
and Nichols, and Colonel Wellesley (now Duke of Wel-
lington). He was at the storming of Bangalore, in 1791,
where his right hip was nearly carried away by grape
shot; at Colombo. in 1795 ; and at the storming of
Seringapatam, in 1799, in the forlorn hope led by Ser-
geant Graham, who lost his life after planting the colours.
Our hero escaped with three musket-ball wounds, one
of which shattered his right leg, the use of which he
never perfectly recovered. His regiment being about to
return to England, he was transferred to the 86th, in
which he continued to serve some years afterwards in
India. He had seen much active service and hard fight-
ing; had been in both hemispheres, had received a
hddaaon-
gerous wound on the back of the head from a
grenade, for which he was obliged to undergo

lively interest in his welfare, he was latterly indebted
fur many comforts. He was not only clothed in a
respectable uniform and maintained at their expense, but
he had the monopoly of the sale of oranges and fruit in
the barracks since their arrival in this city. It was his
anxious wish to end his days with that regiment, and he
will be interred at their expense in the cemetery, with
military honours, the 87th Foot furnishing the firing
