James Moore< no role > House Surgeon of St. George's Hospital near Hyde
Park corner on his Oath saith that the Deceased was brought to
St. George's Hospital on Friday Morning last about Eleven o'Clock
he appeared quite insensible, what the Deponent thought
necessary such as Bleeding and a Blister was immediately done
found no external mark of violence on any part of his Body
Supposed that he might have been in a Fit, but the next Day
understanding that the Deced had fallen from a Tree in Hyde Park
his Head was then shaved close and particularly Examined but found
no marks whateverthatthe Symptons became daily worse till Monday
Morning when he Died about 8 o'Clock seemed in great Agony
and in a kind of Convulsion Fits, the Deced was never able to
speak so as to make known his Complaints.
