ton was an original, or would be 
original, generally known by the 
appellation of the green man. He 
dressed in green pantaloons, green 
waistcoat, green frock,green cravat; 
and though his ears, whiskers, eye- 
brows, and chin, were powdered, 
his countenance no doubt, from the 
reflection of his clothes, was also 
green. Heate nothing but greens, 
fruits, and vegetables; had his rooms 
painted green, and furnished with 
green sofa, green chairs, green tables 
green bed, and green curtains. His 
gig, his livery, his portmanteau, his 
gloves, and his whip, were all green. 
With a green silk handkerchief in 
his hand, and a large watch chain 
with green seals, fastened to the 
green buttons of his green waistcoat, 
he paraded every day on the Steine. 
This morning at 6 o’clock this gen- 
tleman leaped from the window of 
his lodging on the south parade, 
into the street, ran from thence to 
the verge of the cliffuearly opposite 
and threw himself over the precipice 
to the beach below. Several per- 
sons immediately ran to his assist- 
ance, and carried him, bleeding at 
_ the mouth and ears, back to his 
lodgings. ‘The height of the cliff, 
from'whence he ‘precipitated him- 
self, is about 20 feet perpendicular. 
From the general demeanour of the 
above gentleman, itis supposed heis 
deranged. His name,we understand, 
is Henry Cope,and that he is related 
to some highly distinguished fami- 
lies.
