FATAL ACCIDENT.
An accident attended with fatal results happened last night. Andrew Paisley, eighteen years old, and eldest son of Mr Robert Paisley, farmer, Upper Junction, left his father's residence between seven and eight o'clock yesterday evening for the purpose of rabbit-shooting, taking with him a double-barrelled pistol. He was not again seen till about seven o'clock this morning, when a young woman named Eliza Lemond found his body in his father's paddock with the brains blown out. In the deceased's right hand was a pistol, and the left side of his face was blown in. The place in which he was found favors the opinion that he was stepping back to take aim when his foot tripped on an incline, causing the pistol to go off. The body was immediately removed to the father's house. -Evening Star, 25/3/1879.
