Saturday a most melancholy Accident happened at Newbridge in Fingall; Master Newenham,
 Son of the most worthy High Sheriff of the County of Dublin, and Miss Monk, seeing a Powder
 Horn with some Gunpowder in it, they threw it on the Fire, which immediately burnt, and made 
such an Explosion as to burn the young Gentleman in so shocking a manner, that he died the
 Day after, and the young Lady is severely burned, but is in a fair Way of Recovery.
