which he had fondly hoped to gain a decent 
and honorable support for himself and his 
family, became unfortunately the immediate 
‘cause of his complete and final ruin, and his 
whole property to the amount of above 30001. 
was at once irretrievably sunk in this most 
deceitful and iniquitous transaction. Under 
these circumstances, Captain Jarvis, by the 
recommendation of his friend, the late Lieu- 
tenant Colonel Scudamore (of the Essex Dra- 
goons, and Member for Nereford) obtained 
the situation, which he held in the Royal 
Montgomery Militia at the time of his death; 
and in which, for a period of more than five 
years, he discharged the duties of paymaster,, 
with the same regularity, integrity, and ho- 
nor, as he hed before manifested in the very 
extensive money concerns entrusted to him 
in the Essex regiment, barely supporting his 
wife and numerous family, to whom he was 
amost affectionate husband and father, by 
the pay annexed to it.—-On the arrival of 
the regiment at Shorcham, after a long and 
fatiguing march from Plymouth, he found 
himself suddenly called upon, after a lapse 
of more than five years, to.answer a demand 
@n account of his late unfortunate partnership, 
the concerns of which, as far as they regarded 
him he thought had been long since entirely 
settled; this sudden and unexpected claim 
was too much for his sensible and honest 
heart tosupport ; he was shortly after atrack- 
ed by a violent fever which determined ra- 
pidly to his brain, andin a few days carried 
him off in a state of perfect frenzy.—By 
this fatal termination of his misfortunes, his 
unhappy wife and children are at one blow 
deprived of a fond husband and parent, and 
ef the only means of subsistence which_yet 
remained tothem 3; for no length of service 
in Fencible or Militia regiments, entitles the 
widows of officers who die in the service, to 
- that small salary which is allotted for those 
whose husbands have served in the regular 
army. The above narrative is drawn up and. 
attested by the brother officers of the decea- 
Sed,»and in behalf of the unfortunate widow 
who is. pregnant with her sixth child) and 
five orphans, they earnestly recommend it 
to the attention of the benevolent and hu- 
mane, from whom it will meet, they trust, 
that.charitable cissistance, to which a case of 
such real and severe disthess presents so strong 
aclaim. Col. Browne, of the. Royal Mont- 
gomery Militia, and G. MaGraham, esq. of 
Chailey in this county, late Captain in the 
Essex Dragoons, have taken upon themselves 
the management and conduct or this subscrip- 
tion opened fer the benefit of this unfortu- 
nate family. ;
