On Thursday, Sept. 16, after a few hours 
illness, Thomas Webb, esq., of Kitwell- 
House, near Halesowen, aged 74. He had 
for a long time retired from the bustle of 
public life, to pass the evening of his days 
in the bosom of his family. For upwards 
of forty years, he had practised as an emi- 
nent attorney in Birmingham, and no man 
stood higher in his profession, or enjoyed 
more entirely, the confidence of his towns- 
men than himself. He was a man of a 
very superior mind. ‘To his profession he 
was an ornament, not only as respected his 
legal knowledge, but as the kind, the pa- 
tient, disinterested adviser of him who 
sought his assistance to extricate him from 
difficulties, .disputes and distress. As a 
literary character, his acquitements were 
general in almost every branch of science. 
He was not only a philosopher and a poet, 
but a good man, and a bright ornament to 
society. He is now no more, but he will 
not soon be forgotten ; the memory of his 
many virtues, his warm affection as a pa- 
rent, his unshaken sincerity as a friend, his 
upright conduct as a public member of so- 
ciety, will remain indelibly fixed on the 
hearts of all who knew him, and now de- 
plore his death, ;
