Jul 18. Cain’s Cross, July 17. Letter from a Coroner:
TO THE PRINTER
SIR, Cain’s Cross, July 17.
Yesterday morning I was sent for to Minety, in this county, on the following melancholy accident, that happened on Friday evening about six o’clock, which you will please to insert in your paper as a caution to people not to shelter themselves under trees in storms of thunder and lightning. Mr THOMAS BROWN, a Gentleman Farmer of Minety, was a-haymaking with six of his servants, at a ground about a mile from his house, on Friday evening, when a violent storm of rain and hail fell, with frequent claps of thunder and lightning. To avoid the storm, Mr BROWN and his servants ran to a haw thorn tree for shelter; but, unhappily for them, no sooner were they got there than a terrible clap of thunder and lightning broke over their heads, which killed Mr BROWN and one THOMAS VINES on the spot. The other five were dangerously wounded, particularly the widow of THOMAS VINES, whose life is despaired of. It is very remarkable, that tho’ their bodies were quite excoriated by the lightning, and their linnen burned, yet their other garments were not affected. This is what appears by the evidences taken on the inquisition before, SIR,
Your humble Servant,
Geo. Nayler, Coroner.
