The news or numbered list of "Domestic Occurences" in the July, 1812 issue (pp. 336-39), refers to the king's madness, the sale of the Roxburgh Library for "above £23,000", Cobbett's release from prison, the death of two children mistakenly given arsenic by their mother, and an equally unfortunate event: "A fine boy, five years old, walking on Kennington Common with his father and mother, on Friday last, was struck on the breast by a cricket-ball, several yards from the bat, and killed on the spot," says the report which protests at how frequently cricket is played "in the public roads and foot-paths round London, and even in the very streets ...." despite such "imminent dangers". Not in Padwick.
