ANNUAL REGISTER, 1805. 



Erection, M'as evidently fired by 

 some person on foot. The body 

 )»ad Iain some hours on the road, 

 and was quite cold and stiff when 

 discovered, by a shepherd, early 

 in the morning. His horse was 

 at a little distance in a field. Mr. 

 W. has left a Avidow and nine chil- 

 dren to lament his fate. The mur- 

 derers did not effect their purpose 

 of robbery, as Mr. Wigmore's pro- 

 perty was all found on him. 



25th. Sir James Malcolm, bart. 

 late lieutenant-governor of Sheer- 

 ness. 



2eth. Aged 26, lieut. John Fcrny- 

 iough, of Lichfield. He lost his life 

 in endeavouring to preserve the lives 

 of the crew of the Rayo, Spanish 

 three-decker, Avhich was wrecked 

 off St. Lucar ; he was put on board 

 with a party of marines on the 24th, 

 after the battle of Trafalgar ; on 

 the 26th came on a gale from the 

 south-west ; the prize parted her 

 cables and went on shore off St. 

 Lucar. Lieutenant F. volunteered 

 his services to go in an open boat to 

 persuade the Spaniards to send off 

 from the shore to save the unfortu- 

 nate people of the wreck. ; 25 men 

 were allotted to go with him, and 

 when they had nearly approached 

 the beach, a heavy squall upset the 

 boat, and 22, including the lieut. 

 perished. His death is universally 

 lamented ; and his loss to the service 

 is great, as he was an able and hu- 

 mane officer. 



At his house on Blackhcath, Ri- 

 Ciiard Hulse, esq. brother to the late, 

 and uncle to the present sir Edward 

 Hulse, of Bremer-house, co. Wilts. 

 He was one of the younger sons of 

 sir Richard Hulse, bart. (who was 

 eminently distinguished in his pro- 

 fession, and was physician to both 

 tteir late majesties) by Eiizabethj 



daughter of sir Richard Levctt^ 

 knight, lord mayor of London, 

 1705. 



Aged 56, the rev. Dr. William 

 Dun, priest of the catholic chapel 

 in Blackburn, co. Lancaster. Ap- 

 parently in tolerable health, he was 

 going through the duties of his of- 

 fice in the chapel, and immediately 

 after receiving the sacrament, find- 

 ing himself somewhat unwell, he 

 stopped a little time at the altar, in 

 hope of getting better ; but, as he 

 could not immediately recover, he 

 retired into the vestry, accompanied 

 by a gentleman, who observed his 

 a:j;itation, and, on being seated in a 

 rliair, just laid his hand on his 

 breast, and exclaimed "O God 

 bless me. how ill I am!" and almost 

 instantly expired without a strug- 



2Sth. At Sherborne, in his 67th 

 year, much regretted by all who 

 knew him, Erie Hawker, esq. late 

 surviving son of Peter H. esq. of 

 Longparish, Hants. He was many 

 years major in the 62d regiment of 

 foot, and lately of the 1st regiment 

 of the Dorset volunteers. 



Mr. Wass, grocer and shop- 

 keeper, of North Muskham, near 

 Newark, Notts. About 30 years 

 ago, it is supposed, he made a vow 

 never to step out of his own house, 

 on any account ; and, notwithstand- 

 ing the most earnest entreaties of 

 his friends, he scrupulously kept his 



TOW. 



At 4 o'clock in the morning, at 

 his lodgings in John-street, Bath, 

 and in his 95th year, the truly rev. 

 Daniel Dumaresq, D. D. prebenda- 

 ry of Salisbury and WeHs. Per- 

 haps the uniform conduct of no man 

 in this or any other country came 

 nearer to that of the primitive chris- 

 tians in the apostolic age than that
