General Notes
- Notes for RICHARD LAND:
  York Courant Tusday 31st January, 1775.
  On Wednesday last the following melancholy accident happened at Holgate near this city: one Richard Land, a poor labouring man was digging gravel in a pit by the wind-mill, when a large quantity of earth (which the severity of the frost had loosened) slided down and killed him on the spot. He has left a widow and six children, five of whom are incapable of doing any thing for a maintenance. A contribution for the relief of the above unfortunate family will be made in a few days, when it is hoped the benevolence of the public will be extended to the utmost in their behalf.
