SUDDEN DEATH OF SIB JOHN MILLEY DOYLE.
We regret to ennounce the unexpected death/ of
this gentleman, one of the Military Knights of
Windsor, which took plats this (Saturday) morning.
The deceased retired to his bed last night at his
usual hour, and in his ordinary state of health. It
must, however, be stated that he had, for the past
few weeks, severely suffered from gout as well
as from a tightness on the chest, resulting from what
-the profession term " angina pectoris." It appears that
the servant in attendance upon Sir John visited his bed-
room at about three o'clock this morning, when her
master did not complain of feeling worse. On again en=
tering the room, soon after seven o'clock, she found him
insensible—in fact, quite dead.— Windsor Express.

and undressed, and went into the water, but nothing
more was seen of him. When the machine was pulled
