Murder in Guildford Described and Lord Onslow Attack
A letter from Guildford recounts Edward Arnold, a younger son from a reputable Guildford family, who attacked Lord Onslow’s party while hunting. Arnold, described as sullen and fanatically opposed to the government, shot at the lord, wounding him in the neck and shoulder. The note notes Arnold’s motive was to remove the lord, and reports public sorrow at Guildford.
