M‘Ghie, esq. formerly of Jamaica. 
At his house at Muswell-hill, 
near Hornsey, Middlesex, John 
Champiorf, esq. formerly of Upper 
Thames-street, 
Qist. Of a fever of very short 
continuance, at his seat at Lees 
- Court, in Kent, in his 53d year, 
Lewis-Thomas, lord Sondes. He 
married Mary, daughter of Richard 
Milles, esq. of Nackington, co. 
Kent, by whom he has left four sons 
and two daughters. He is suc- 
ceeded in title and estate by his son, 
Lewis-Richard. 
At his apartments in Dean- 
strect, Soho, at the advanced age of 
$2, Mr. Robert Lawless, who, for 
considerably more than half a cen- 
tury, had been so well known to, 
and much distinguished by, the no- 
tice and regard of many of the most 
eminent literary characters of his 
time, as ene of the principal assis- 
tants to Mr. Andrew Millar, for- 
merly bookseller in the Strand ; 
afterwards to his successor, the late 
Mr. Alderman Cadell ; and since, 
till very lately, to Messrs. Cadell 
and Davies, the present conductors 
of that extensive business. Mr. L. 
was a native of Dublin, and related, 
not very distantly, to the respect- 
able and recently-ennobled family 
of the same name, as well as to the 
Barnewalls and Aylmers. He was 
a Roman catholic, and strictly ob- 
servant of the duties and obliga- 
tions of his religion, yet -perfectly 
free from the bigotry and unchari- 
tableness which, have, on too many 
occasions, marked the conduct ef 
members of the Romish church. 
In his character: were united the 
soundest. integrity of mind with a

led. His reading had been extensive 5 
his judgment was remarkably cor- 
rect; his memory uncommonly 
strong ; and the anecdotes with 
which it was stored often afforded 
gratification to his friends, who 
delighted to draw him into conver- 
sation. One remarkable instance 
of his singleness of heart we can add 
onthe most indisputable authority. 
Not very long before Mr. Cadell 
obtained the scarlet gown, on tak- 
ing stock at the end of the year, 
honest Robin very seriously applied 
to his master, to ask a favour of 
him. Mr. Cadell, of course, expect- 
ed that it was somewhat that might 
be beneficial to the applicant. But 
great indeed was his surprise to find 
that the purport of the request was 
that his annual salary might be 
lowered, as the year’s accompt was 
not so good as_the preceding one ; 
and Lawless -really feared that his 
master could not afford to pay him 
such very high wages. On retir- 
ing from business, the benevolent 
master had a picture of the faithful 
servant painted by sir William, 
Beechy, which he always shewed to 
his friends as one of the principal 
ornaments of his drawing-room.
