ANNUAL REGISTER, 1805. 



Mr, Garvas Storr, of Leeds, one 

 «f the' people called quakers. To 

 delineate the character of this truly 

 good man with justice is not only 

 difficult but impossible. With an 

 income of several hundreds per an- 

 num, his personal expences, we are 

 credibly informed, have not exceed- 

 ed 30 pounds a year; the surplus 

 he bestowed upon the poor, not 

 ■through the medium of agents, but 

 with his own Tiands ministering to 

 their necessities. For this purpose 

 he performed weekly circuits of 

 several miles extent through the ad- 

 jacent villages, where he explored 

 the wretched abodes of misery, in- 

 vestigated their various necessities, 

 and administered advice, bedding, 

 cloatliing, and money, in the most 

 judicious manner; and during his 

 last illness, he expressed his firm be- 

 lief that the same divine power, 

 which had stimulated him thus to 

 alleviate the distresses of his fellow- 

 creatures, would raise up some others 

 to supply his place. His spare- 

 habit, his venerable grey locks, his 

 plain and rather coarse cloathing, 

 with the sanctity of countenance 

 and general appearance, produced 

 in beholders the idea of one of the 

 ancient prophets. 



19th. The coachman of Mrs. Mar- 

 shal, of Brucegrove, Tottenham, who 

 had lived in her family 14 years, and 

 was upwards of 60, having con- 

 tracted a habit of drinking, on re- 

 ceiving from her a gentle reproof, 

 assured her he would never do it 

 again, nor leave her house till he 

 was carried out of iU He went out, 

 bought a strong cord, which he 

 waxed well, and was found by the 

 gardener hanging, early in the morn- 

 ing, from the rails of the stair.
