through which the common sewers 
of that part of the town might pass. 
The stream was by this means in- 
creased to a rivulet, which, after 
rain, has as strong a current as that 
which is necessary to turn a com- 
mon-sized mill. It is remarkably 
well arched over; and, had it not 
been for the two uncommonly violent 
floods which came shortly after each 
other, it might have stood for years. 
It emptied, as most of our common- 
sewers do, into the Thames. 
27th. Athis house atSutton, near 
Dublin, George Molyneux, esq. se- 
cond son of the late right honour- 
able sir Capel Molyneux, bart. of 
Castle Dillon, co. Armagh. He 
was called to the bar in 1780, and 
returned to parliament for the 
borough of Granard. He mar- 
ried Miss Gore, sister of William 
Gore, esq. by ~whom he has left no 
issue. 
29th. At Portsmouth, master 
Mowbray. He went to Portsdown 
fair, under the immediate care of 
his mother, anda lady, the neigh- 
bour and friend of the family, and in 
company with his sister, and several 
other children. After taking tea, 
the party were walking in the broad 
path, called the Running - walk, 
where no danger was ever appre- 
hended, it never having been known 
that acarrriage of any kind, or horse, 
entered that part of the fair. Un- 
fortunately, a heavy cart, with two 
horses, that had brought some arti- 
cles of refreshment to the booth at ° 
the top of the walk, had been left 
near the booth by the driver, and 
some person having tboughtlessly 
leaped upon the fore horse, he took 
fright, and both horses set off at full 
gallop down the walk, which isa 
steep hill. The party running to get 
eut of the way, master Mowbray

fell, and some of the other children 
fellover him. The cart went over 
his breast; one of the children, 
daughter of the lady above alluded 
to, had part of her dress torn off by 
the wheel ; and the sister of the de- 
ceased was dragged, by an officer 
belonging to the German Legion (at 
Hilsea,) from before the wheel, so 
much at his own hazard, that the 
wheel actually grazed her head. The 
boy was instantly bled by the sur- 
geon of one of the German regi- 
ments, and visited by Mr. Soaper, 
surgeon, of Southwick; but both 
declared he could scarcely survive to 
be conveyed home, and he died on 
the road. He was perfectly sen- 
sible, and complained little, but of. 
thirst; he said heshould be betterwhen 
he got home to his father’s bed ; and 
a little before he expired, he raised 
himself, and putting his arms round 
his mother’s neck, kissed her. He 
did not speak afterwards, but ex- 
pired in the easiest manner. He 
was an only son, eight years and a 
half old ; a remarkably fine boy, ofa 
frank and manly spirit, and was 
justly beloved and admired.
