patriotic spirit, and the following anecdote is related:-On Lord Rodney's ar rival in Eugland, he landed at Bristol, and went to the Bush Tavern. On inquiring for his bill, the patriotic landlord replied, "There is nothing to pay-nothing for Lord Rodney to pay." After getting into his carriage to proceed to Bath, Lord Rod. ney requested he might be driven there as expeditiously as possible; the person who rode the leading horse immediately turned round and pulled out his watch; when his Lordship at once recognized his worthy host, who replied, "As your Lordship said to the Governor of Eustatia (alluding to the time allowed for capitulation), in an hour, in an hour, my Lord."

He had been long accustomed to gout; which succeeding to, or brought on by, a recent cold, terminated his existence, after a fortnight's illness, at the age of 65 years, Mr. Catton was an artist of superior rank and of distinguished merit, and very ably supported a just and eminent reputation acquired by his father, whose pupil he was, and who attained the honours of a Royal Academician, and served, until the day of his death, his present Majesty George III. as his heraldic painter. Mr. Catton, during his residence in the United States, has devoted his attention principally to agricul tural pursuits; and seldom exercised his pencil, except to gratify personal friendship, or enliven the dull monotony of a rural winter life.

June 3. At Sea, on his passage home, after a long residence in India, George Oswald, esq. late in the Civil Service of. the Hon. East India Company. His death was attended by circumstances singularly mournful and afflictive. This gentleman,

by

by his talents and conduct, had obtained much consideration in India, and had a fair prospect of attaining stations of eminence in the Civil service of the Company, Yielding, however, to the often expressed wishes and entreaties of his relatives, he relinquished those expectations, he decided upon returning to the bosom of that family from whom he had been so long necessarily estranged. Possessing a wellearned reputation, with manners peculiarly pleasing and engaging, a competent fortune, and in the meridian of life, he united great worldly advantages, and his family promised themselves unmixed happiness in their re-union; but, alas! within a few days' sail of his native shores, he was attacked by a fatal malady; and instead of the meeting fondly anticipated, those who waited with impatience his arrival, in agony received his lifeless corpse, and only had the sad duty to perform of laying it in the tomb of his grandfather, the Right Hon. James Oswald. Long separated from the friends he loved in life, thus, by a singularly mournful occurrence, his ashes are destined to repose in the Abbey of Westminster, mingled with those of his distinguished progenitors.

Vol. LXXXVII. Part I.

P. 464. a. The account of the burning of the mill in Water-street, Birmingham, is a highly exaggerated statement, particularly as respects the value of the property consumed, which is there stated to be 200,000l. but would be much nearer the true estimate if put down at one fiftieth part of that sum, say 40007.

Vol. LXXXVII. Part II.

P. 461. In the account of the execution of the traitors at Derby, the particular day is omitted to be mentioned, The execution took place on Friday, November 7th, 1817.

P. 464. The trial of Abraham Thornton, for the murder of Mary Ashford, is stated to have been one of two remarkable trials which took place at Stafford Assizes. This is erroneous, Thornton having been tried at Warwick for that offence.

P. 477. b. l. 27. For Flower, read Fowler.

P. 484. a. Maydwell, near Northampton, was the seat of Lord James Russell, a younger son of the first Duke of Bedford, and afterwards of his widow, who was married to Sir Henry Hoghton, bart. She was daughter of John Lisle, esq. son of John Lisle (one of the Commissioners of the Great Seal under the Protector Oliver, and one of the Members of his otherhouse, or House of Lords, who had been one of the King's Judges), by his wife Alicia, daughter and co-heiress of Sir White Beconsall, knt. She was vulgarly known by

We are chiefly obliged to our kind and accurate Correspondent E. for these Remarks on our preceding volumes. EDIT. GENT, MAG. Suppl. LXXXIX. Part 1.

the name of Lady Lisle, and, in 1685, having been tried at the Assizes at Winchester, for harbouring two of the adhe rents of the ill-advised and imprudent Duke of Monmouth, was sacrificed to the sanguinary spirit of James 11. by his contemptible minion, Lord Chief Justice Jefferies.

Vol. LXXXVIII. Part I.

P. 591. W. B. observes, on "Exchequer, from a cloth which was spread on the table;" that it is spread now, and accounts are yearly passed in court by counters placed on this cloth to represent sums. This Correspondent (adverting to page 601) also says, The same thought which occurred to a writer two centuries ago may occur to one in these days who never saw the former; but if he uses the same words, he is certainly liable to the charge of plagiarism. If I do not mistake, it is a charge made against Sterne, that he has used the words of Burton in his Anatomy of Melancholy.

Vol. LXXXVIII. Part II.

P.21. b. "In reply to your Correspondent P. take the following, which I happen to have cut out of a daily paper (I fancy the Public Advertiser) of the 10th December, 1765, and to have preserved to this time. "To the Printer: In answer to a letter in your paper of Friday last, relative to a demand of 5s, made by the rector of a parish on a gentleman, who lately married one of his parishioners in his own parish Church, I desire you will insert this for the satisfaction of your Reader, who signs himself Tom Tell-truth. In or about the year 1752, one Mr. Patten, a clothier, of the parish of Martock, in the county of

Somerset

Somerset and diocese of Bath and Wells, married, in his own parish church, a woman who was a parishioner of Petherton, a neighbouring parish. Soon after the Rev. Mr. Castleman, vicar of Petherton, made a demand on Mr. Patten of 5s. as a customary fee due to him, insisting that, as he had lost a parishioner, and the custom had been for time immemorial, he had an undoubted right thereto. The clothier refused payment of the demand: the vicar sued him in the Bishop's Court, and he was condemned with costs, if not excommunicated. From this sentence he appealed to the Arches Court of Canterbury, of which Court Sir George Lee was then Judge. In a short time the appeal was heard and determined; and I was present when Sir George declared, that'notwithstanding it had been a custom, time immemorial, for the Clergy to demand the fee in question as a prescriptive right, and this point of law never before tried to abolish the custom, this prescriptive right was in itself totally defeated by law:' and he concluded his sentence with these words: ' upon the whole, I am clearly of opinion that, where no duty is done, no fee can be by law demanded;' and condemned the vicar in 201. costs, besides other expences. "Yours, &c. A LAYMAN."

P. 98. b. I do not know whether Historicus assumes that name in consequence of his supposed knowledge of the history of people; but if so, it appears rather misapplied, when he asks whether the Hon. Charles Hamilton, of Pain's Hill, youngest son to James, sixth Earl of Abercorn, were not an Irish gardener.

P. 112. b. Q. Q. may receive abundant information about Benjamin Keach, and his Teoroλoyia, by consulting Watkins's Biographical Dictionary, Chalmers's new edition, and especially Wilson's Dissenting Churches, vol. IV. from whence, perhaps, the contents of the other two are extracted.

P. 120. Surely Dr. Bell's Importation of the new Method of teaching Children proves no great exertion of mind, or genius, for he had only to relate what he himself and every other traveller to India and the East might have seen practised a bundred times over; as abundantly appears, if there were no other proof, from the extract from Pietro della Valle.

P. 147. Has Mr. Swift translated the 10th and 13th, or 10th and 14th Satires of Juvenal? one column says one, and the other the contrary.

P. 390. a. Your Correspondent is not very accurate in his quotation. It is well known that the Queen did not die till Sunday, 1st August; therefore, news of her death could not have arrived at York on

Friday, 30th July. A premature report probably reached York.

P. 404. a. 1. 22. Read Dr. John Warner, founder of Bromley College.

P. 467. It would have been an acceptable piece of information to have given the publick some account of Mr. Elliot's parentage and family.

P. 559. a. l. 3. For George Garvagh, read George Canning. I believe he is only an Irish Peer.

Vol. LXXXIX. Part I.

P. 204. a. l. 3 and 5. Read 1597 and 1599. Also in the epitaph, Hujus ecclesiæ cathedralis Canonici.-The Church at Luckham is not an Ecclesia Cathedralis.

P. 284. b. Mr. Boone married 22 Oct. 1762, the sister of the late Countess of Ashburnham, who were the two coheiresses of the late John Crowley, for a short time Alderman of Dowgate Ward (as his father Sir Ambrose had been before him); he died Jan. 2, 1727-8, leaving an immense fortune, which his two sons in-law improved, by carrying on the business of an iron-master at the Leathern Doublet in Upper Thames-street, for a long time (the sign is said to have represented the dress in which the first of the family came to London), under the firm of Theodosia Crowley and Co. (I suppose the name of their mother-in-law). It so hap pens that Mr. B. also was four times M.P. for Castle Rising, and three times for Ashburton.

P. 285. a. The Rev. William Browne was (I believe only) son of Thos. Browne, esq. formerly Garter King at Arms, and an eminent land surveyor, who purchased the estate of Camfield-place (which his son sold last year to the Earl of Rosebery); he died Feb. 22, 1780. His son married Anne, eldest daughter of the late Sir Fitzwilliam Barrington, bart. of Swainston in the Isle of Wight, by whom he had issue William, born July 30, 1799, and married in June 1815, to Anna Maria, eldest daughter of Theophilus Salway, esq. of Richard's Castle, in Herefordshire, by whom he has issue.

P. 380. b. G. H. W. remarks, "The writer of the article relative to the late Lord Dormer, makes some mistakes. For "ninth Lord Dormer, of Peterley House, and Grove Park," read " ninth Lord Dormer of Wenge." Peterley House and Grove Park were his Lordship's seats, but made no part of his titles and dignities. Charles Dormer, Earl of Caernarvon, did not die without heir male, he died without issue male."

P. 403. 1. ult. and penult. Dele Lord Dacre of the South, as connected with Cumberland; for he is Lord Dacre of Hurst-Monceaux in South-Sex.

P. 411. a. l. 43. For Duke of Dorset, read, Earl of Dorset; they were not Dukes till 100 years after. INDEX
