At Chipftead place. Charles Polhill, efq. 

 The charadcr of this excellent man is fufii- 

 ciently known to require but little of public 

 eulogy; but in deploring the lofs of departed 

 woith, there are claims to imitation and 

 fr»ife. Sui&CS it tliea to fay, that in a pro- 



bationary courfe of more than eighty years, 

 he filled the domeftic ftations with love, af- 

 feflion, and tfteem. As a private gentle- 

 man, he was diftinguilhed for his honourable 

 independence, his love of virtue, hs exten- 

 five benevolence, and his pleafing deport- 

 ment, which gained from all clafTfS that re- 

 fpeft, efteem, and veneration, which will 

 render his death extenlively felt and deeply 

 la-nented. When he was on the brink of re- 

 linquifliing his mortal Couife from the debi- 

 lity of age, fuch was liis refigna.ion ami 

 calmnefs under it, that he never complained, 

 only faying, I mui't be pr.tisnt ; and when 

 relieveJ from this tranfitory life, he only 

 ceafed to breathe, wiih<MiC a Ihuggle, or 

 even a figh. 



At W'almer, Brigade Major Sabine, of 

 the guards. After taking his morning ride, 

 he icturi.ed to his lodgings, and inftantly 

 went into his apartment, too.k a loaded piflol 

 and blew out h:s brjins. No caufe is afligned 

 for thisraflj i£t. He v/iisa brave otnccr, and 

 eftcemed by all around him, frutii the gene- 

 ral to the private. He married the daughter 

 of the late Admiral Paifley, by whom he had 

 one infant Ion. 



At Gravefend, John Evans, efq. 6?, at- 

 torney, and many years town-clerk of that 

 place. He had breakfaded with his ufual 

 appetite and cheerfulnefs, and had dreil'ed 

 liimfelf for church, when one of the family, 

 with V. h'jin, about t:n minutes before, he 

 had been converfing in the garden, followe* 

 him into the Uoufe with fruit, and found 

 him, in his ufual pofition, lifeltfs in his 

 chair. There is good reafun to believe that 

 he died without a pang, and that his end was 

 as quiet and undiMurbed as his life. He was a 

 man of whom no one was ever heard to fpealc 

 ill. In the courfe of nearly half a century 

 fpent in the profelljon of the law, he made 

 not one perfonal enemy. It was f^arcely 

 jjollible to be more uriverfally efteemed, or, 

 by a well-fpent life, to be better prepared for 

 lu awful and fudden achajige.
