1824.] 
The old man was encamped on Southorpe 
Heath, with several of his family and sub- 
jects, on the Sunday preceding, when death 
put an end to his reign and his earthly wan- 
derings. He had been ill for a few days; but 
his complaint was really a decay of nature, 
for the patriarch was nearly a hundred years 
of age. The corpse continued in the camp 
on the heath for five days,—those. who had 
been with him in his last moments expect- 
ing that many others of his family and de- 
pendents would, on information of his death, 
come to offer their homage at his funeral ; 
but something prevented this, and it was 
d:emed necessary to inter the corpse on the 
sixth day. A decent coffin had been provided, 
aud the obsequies were conducted with great 
decorum. The body was deposited in Wit- 
tering church-yard, where the service was 
read by the Rev. William Wing. On 
Wednesday tlie gipsy camp broke up from 
Seuthorpe ; on which occasion those who 
had composed it went to the church-yard to 
pay the last tribute of affection at the grave 
of Boswell, and a very impressive scene of 
silent unaffected grief was witnessed. The 
old man is said to have died in very affluent 
circumstances, and to haye pessessed estates 
in several parts of England.
