I have already alluded to the moral character of Mr. 

 John Corbet. Not only was his private life beyond 

 reproach, but his public life gained him distinction.

 health compelled him to desist from taking any active 

 part in the discussion of the leading questions of the 

 day. During his life he was honoured, and after his 

 death he was lamented.
