Paine died in Guy's Hospital on October 29, following an operation on his arm which had been frac- tured when he fell off an omṣibus. Dr. Robert Joseph Drummond, house-surgeon at the hospital, said that two operations were per- formed, and before the second hel gave Paine avertin in order to tesson the pain of moving him: from bed.
