MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
•
DEATH or LIM?. HENRY Bat., or tux sant MOT.
PltoNf A 131,11Ltg P.s•Psn et WCavgsDAT, AUG. 9;
It is our painful task to record the death of this pro•
mising young Officer in a tnanner truly meancholy.—
The regiment had been marched yesterday morning to
the strand at Sandymount, for the purpose of practi ing
the min filing at a targrt ; after the other men had
aced, the recruits were brought up f r the same put
pose, and just as one of them, named *Lases Carrol,
had levelled Ms piece,. Lieutenant Bell came in front of
him, the piece was discharged, and he fell mortally
wounded. Mr. Kent, of Sandymount, who was pre-
sent at the fatal occurrence, requested he might be c••n•
veyed to his house, where every aecommodatiln which
the si•uation of the wounded Gentlemen required was
afforded.• Die Assistant Surgeon of the Regiment was
present, and gave every assistance requisite, hut with
nut effect. Lieutenant Bell expired in about 15 minutes.
The ball entered the fleshy part of his 1' ft arm, and
penetrated the cavity of hi: chest, wounding the lungs,
and producing an internal hemorrhage, which was the
immediate cause of his death.

At twelee o'clock, Alderman Mimeo &id an inquest on the
body. The Serjeant-Major of the Regin►ent explained, in a satis-
factory mauner,.the way in which the unfortunate accident oc-
curred, fully exculpating Carrol from any blame in producing the
Melancholy catastrophe. It appears that Carrol in loading his
piece had made the usual half-face to the right, and at once came
to the recover and present, while it was impossible for him to see
Lieutenant Hell, who came from rke left of the line. The Jury
returned a verdict of—del:Wawa Death. Lieutenant Bell had not
been above a year in the Regiment : he was, we understand, a
young man of large femme.
