Singularly disgusting, and her dispo-

verified the old adage, ‘ de gustibus 
During many 
years, her constant companions were 
from 16 to 23 fowls, whose ordure 
defiled as well her bed, and every 
article of her furniture, as the plate 
out of which she ate. A favourite 
cock, whose age might be calcu- 
lated, from his spurs being three 
inches long, and an equally favoured 
rat, were for a length of time con- 
Stant attendants at her table, each 
partaking of the fragments which 
even her penury shared with them ; 
till one day, the rat, not preserving 
due decorum towards-its rival, met 
499 
his death from the hands of his mis. 
tress... Her predeliction for vermin 
prevailed somuch, that, at her death, 
a nest of mice was found in her bed.

51. to the minister of the parish for 
a funeral sermon, 501. to the Kent
