"An inquest was held at Ebchester, on the body of Isabella Browell. It appeared that on the day preceding, William Ward, parish clerk, an old man nearly 80 years of age, was handling a gun in his house, not knowing it was loaded, it went off, and the contents lodged in the body of the deceased, who was his grand daughter, killing her on the spot."
