It fell on the 8th of June (as far as I could ascertain), at Charwallas, a village 23 coss west of this ; about 8 o'clock in the morning the sky was cloudy and the weather was gusty, or approaching to a north-wester, but no rain ; very loud thunder, similar to constant discharges of heavy artillery, was heard for about half and hour before it fell, and in the direction with the wind to a great distance; when the stone fell it was accompanied by a trembling noise similar to a running fire of guns. It fell in the jungle close to a palee (or herdsman), who was out with his cattle.
