ANNUAL REGISTER, 1800. 



the confidence of the different mar- 

 shals of the prison, who rendered it 

 as hght as possible. By applica- 

 tion to the Court of King's Bench, 

 the demand of heavy bail was with- 

 drawn ; but during his long impri- 

 sonment his affairs werebecome too 

 far deranged ever to be settled ; he 

 therefore remained a prisoner for 

 debt, but in that situation obtained 

 the privilege of residing any where 

 within the rules. In all his misfor- 

 tunes, the duke of Norfolk, who 

 had been his intimate associate in 

 prosperity, remained his firm friend, 

 and frequently visited him, when a 

 single room, on what is called the 

 state side of the King's Bench pri- 

 son, was Mr. Bowes's bed-chamber, 

 parlour, drawing-room, and in short, 

 the only apartment he could have 

 for the accommodation of his fami- 

 ly, and to receive his illustrious 

 guest. 



In Ely-place, J.C. Saunders, esq. 

 late demonstrator of anatomy at 

 St. Thomas's Hospital, and surgeon 

 to the London Infirmary for curing 

 diseases of the eye. 



In York-place, Portman-square, 

 Philip Redwood, esq. late chief jus- 

 tice of Jamaica, and Speaker of the 

 House of Assembly. 



In Little Queen-street, Westmin- 

 ster, Mr. P. F. M'Callum ; author 

 of Travels in Trinidad, and various 

 political publications. 



In Charles-street, St. James's- 

 square, John Hoppner, esq. R. A. 

 one of the most eminent portrait 

 painters since the time of Reynolds. 

 He might indeed have merited the 

 praise of being the first, if he had 

 not been so close an imitator of the 

 style of that great master, as it relat- 

 ed to the spirit and elegance ot his 

 touch, forcible effect of light and 

 shade, picturesque back-grounds, 



graceful simplicity of attitude, and 

 especially therichness and harmony 

 of colouring, in which he certainly 

 excelled all his cotemporaries. J i 

 some of his best coloured works, 

 such as the Nymph, in the posses- 

 sion of sir J. Leicester, the vivacity, 

 truth, and delicacy of the various 

 fleshy tints, have scarcely been sur- 

 passed by any master. But if he 

 could boast of displaying much of 

 the merit, he possessed the faults of 

 his prototype, especially that of in- 

 correct drawing of the human figure, 

 a defect for which not even the co- 

 louring of Rubens, or Titian himself 

 can ever atone. 



At his seat, near Rumford. Jack- 

 son Barwis, esq. of WalbrookHouse, 

 London, well known in the mercan- 

 tile world, forhis extensivedealings, 

 honour, and integrity; and in the li- 

 terary world, for his Dialogues on 

 Liberty, and other publications. 



At Somers Town, Mr. Wilde, of 

 the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden. 

 He was reading, and complained 

 of a sudden pain in the back part 

 of his left hand, which instantly ran 

 up his arm, and only allowed him 

 the opportunity of requesting to be 

 put to bed, which was scarcely 

 done when he expired. 



AtWoolwich, Dr.RollOjSurgeon- 

 general to the artillery. 



At Copford, Essex, Dr. Kelly, 

 LL.D. a native of the Isle of Man, 

 upon which he reflected no ordinary 

 degree of honour, by his abilities, 

 his acquirements, and his truly ex- 

 emplary conduct, as a divine and a 

 scholar. He prosecuted his classi- 

 cal studiesnnderthelateRev. Philip 

 Moore, of Douglass ; whose indefa- 

 tigable coadjutor, he afterwards be- 

 came, in the important work of re- 

 vising, correcting, transcribing, and 

 j)reparing for the press, the manu-
