*' His loss will be severely felt by his friends, neighbours, 

 companions, domestics, and the public, and, we ought not to omit, 

 in the field. He was a sincere friend, a kind and hospitable 

 neighbour, and condescending, affable, and bomitiful to the 

 poor ; a most cheerful companion, and full of anecdote — an in- 

 dulgent and generous master — an active and efficient magistrate ; 

 and, lastly, in the field, he was equalled by few, and surpassed 

 by none. 



" Thus lived and died the 'Sqmre — a fine specimen of the 

 good old English gentleman. He lived beloved by all around 

 him, and died lamented.

 Tam cari capitis ! '
