In walking part of those three hundred yards, he trod upon a piece of orange-peel, slipped, and fell back violently, breaking his leg, and otherwise much injuring himself. On the arrival of help, he calmly directed the mode of his conveyance homewards, gave orders for the attendance of his surgeon, and was put into bed, whence he rose no more. mortification followed, with occasional deJirium.
