Augusta, daughter of the Reverend Alexander Stopford Catcott, married Richard Smith of Bristol on September 23rd, 1771. Richard Smith was a master at the Free Grammer School in Bristol, and on December 6th, 1774, he was elected Surgeon to the Infirmary there. In 1783 the couple were known to be living in Queen Charlotte Street, Queen Square, Bristol, but in December, 1785, the Smiths left Queen Square and took a house by College Green, opposite the Church of St. Augustine the Less, near to Bristol Cathedral. Augusta and Richard had two sons, Richard and Henry, both of whom are remembered for their involvement in an unfortunate death. Henry Smith (1774-1840), a Bristol attorney-at-law and amateur artist, was forced to flee the country in 1809 after fighting a duel in which his opponent later died from loss of blood, having been shot in the leg. His subsequent travels around Scotland, and later Spain and Portugal during the Peninsula War, where he served in the army under Wellington, were recorded in a diary (1809-1810) which is now kept at the University of Kansas. He subsequently returned to England for trial, but was exonerated. Richard Smith (1772-1843) was, like his father, a surgeon at Bristol Infirmary. Amongst other things, he is known for his anatomisation of executed criminals, and in particular his association with John Horwood, aged 18, who was publicly hanged for the murder of Eliza Balsum, an older girl with whom he was infatuated. When Eliza rejected his advances, he threw a stone at her, striking her on the head as she crossed a stream. She died a month later, after Richard Smith had performed the risky operation of trepanning on her (drilling a hole in her skull to relieve pressure). At that time anatomisation was part of the punishment for murder, and the convict's body was given over to Smith at the Bristol Infirmary for his anatomy class. Gruesomely, the surgeon had Horwood’s skin preserved and tanned, and then used it to bind into a volume the notes he had collected on the trial, including sketches of Horwood.
