conveyed to that country, and interred at the family-feat 
of Baronfton, in the county of Weftmeath. 
Mr. Malone, in his perfon, was rather under the mid¬ 
dle tize. The urbanity of his temper, and the kindnefs 
of his difpofition, were depicted in his mild and placid 
countenance. His manners were peculiarly engaging. 
Accuftomed from his earlieft years to the fociety of thofe 
who were diftinguiflied for their rank or talent, he was at 
all times and in all companies eafy, unembarrafied, and un- 
affuming. It was impoflible to meet him, even in the molt 
cafual intercourfe, without recognizing the genuine and 
unaffefied politenefs of the gentleman born and bred. 
His conversation was in a high degree entertaining and 
in(lru£live; his knowledge was various and accurate, and 
his mode of difplaying it void of all vanity or pretention. 
Asafcholar, he was liberally communicative. Attached, 
from principle and conviction, to the conltitution of his 
country in church and ftate, which his intimate acquaint¬ 
ance with its hitlory taught him how to value, he was a 
loyal fubjeCt, a fincere Chriftian, and a true fon of the 
church of England. His heart was warm, and his bene¬ 
volence aCtive. His charity was prompt, but judicious 
and difcriminating ; not carried away by every idle or fic¬ 
titious tale of diltrefs, but anxious to afcertain the na¬ 
ture and fource of real calamity, and indefatigable in his 
efforts to relieve it. His purfe and his time were always 
ready to remove the fufferings, and promote the welfare, 
of others. This tribute to his memory is paid by one who 
from his infancy has known and loved him ; who for 
years has enjoyed his fociety, and been honoured with his 
confidence; and whofe affection and refpeft were hourly 
increafed by a.nearer contemplation of his virtues. J. B.

MALOO'D, a town of Hindooftan, in the circar of 
Cicacole : fixteen miles north-eaft of Ganjam. 
MAL'OPE,/! [feems to be a corruption of 
Base Mallow ; in botany, a genus of the clafs mona- 
delphia, order polyandria, natural order of columniferse, 
(malvaceae, JuJf.) The generic characters are—Calyx: 
pcrihnthium double; outer three-leaved, broader; leaflets 
cordate, acute, permanent; inner one-leafed, half-five- 
cleft, more ereCt, permanent. Corolla: petals five, ob- 
cordate, prsemorfe, fpreading, faltened to the tube of the 
ftamens at the bafe. Stamina: filaments numerous, at 
bottom united into a tube; above, at, and below, the apex 
of the tube, feparate and loofe ; antherae almoft kidney- 
form. Piftillum: germ roundifh ; ftyle fimple, the length 
of the ftamens; ftigmas many, fimple, brittle-ftiaped. Pe- 
ricarpium: capfule roundifti, many-celled; cells as many 
as there are ftigmas, conglomerated into a head. Seeds: 
folitary, kidney-form.— EJJential CkaraEler. Calyx double, 
outer three-leaved ; arils glomerate, one-feeded. 
Species. 1. Malope malacoides, or betony-leaved malope : 
leaves ovate, crenate, fmooth above. The whole plant 
has greatly the appearance of mallow, but differs from it 
in having the cells collected into a button, fomewhat like 
a blackberry. The branches fpread, and lie almoft flat 
upon the ground, extending a foot or more each way. 
The flowers are produced fingly, upon long axillary pe¬ 
duncles ; they are in ftiape and colour like thofe of mal¬ 
low. Native of the meadows of Tufcany and of Barbary. 
Cultivated by Mr. Miller, in 1759. 
a. Malope parviflora, or fmall-leaved malope: calyxes 
fimple ; leaves fubcordate, even ; peduncles fcarcely longer 
than the petiole. Stem very much branched, fpreading, 
red, fubvillofe, a foot high. Native of Peru, where it was 
found by Jof. Dombey. 
3. Malope multiflora, or many-flowered malope: leaves 
roundilh, undivided, notched, villofe ; ftalks three or four 
together, axillary. Cavanilles deferibes it thus : “ Stem 
about fix inches high, not much branched ; flowers fmall 
and white; fruit proportionably larger than in the other 
lpecies.” Native of Spain. 
4. Malope trifida, or three-lobed malope: leaves ob¬ 
long, three-lobed, pointed, toothed, fmooth; ftalks foli- 
M A L 
taiy, axillary. Willdenow fays it differs from the laft in 
having its leaves three-lobed, more acute, and thicker. 
Found in meadows both in Spain and Barbary. 
Propagation and Culture. The firft fpecies may be in¬ 
creafed by fowing the feeds, in the places where the plants 
are defigned to remain, as it does not bear tranfplanting 
well; when they are fown upon a warm border in Auguft, 
the plants alfo frequently (land through the winter, and 
flower early the following feafon, fo as to produce good 
feeds; but, when fown in the fpring, this is rarely the 
cafe. It is moftly neceffary that the plants fown in the 
fpring in pots, fhould be proteCled in winter under a 
frame. They feldom continue longer than two or three 
years at moll, as good plants. The reft may be propa¬ 
gated nearly in the fame manner; and all of them afford 
variety among other plants in the borders, clumps, &c. 
of ornamented grounds.

MAL'ORY, a town of Hindooftan, in Myfore : thirteen 
miles north-eaft of Ouffoor. 
MAL'ORY, or Kirkby Malory, a village in Lei- 
cefterfhire, fo called from the Malorys, formerly the lords 
of it, is five miles diftant from Hinckley, four front Mar¬ 
ket Bofworth, and ten weft of Leicefter. 
The firft of the family of Malory that we have met with 
was Geffrey Malory, father to that fir Anketill Malory, 
who, being governor of the caftle and town of Leicefter 
under Robert Blar.chmaines in the time of his rebellion 
againft king Henry II. marched thence to Northampton ; 
and, after a (harp fight, having defeated the burghers 
there, returned to Leicefter, with the fpoils and plunder 
of that town ; for which his lands being forfeited, they 
were, in 1174, feized by Henry II. nor was he ever rc- 
ftored to them ; but Henry, his fon, paying a fine of fixty 
marks to king John in the firft year of his reign, obtained 
a reftitution to this manor, and all his father’s lands iit 
this county and Warwickfliire. In 1220, Richard Malory 
was lord of this place. He gave to the priory of Thelef- 
ford, co. Warwick, in pure and perpetual alms, the land 
called Barlichevong, in which the church of Kirkby was 
ereiffed, together with the advowfon of the faid church, 
and the chapels of Peckleton and Shilton, with all their 
appurtenances. Sir Anketill Malory fold this manor, in 
the reign of Edward III. to the abbot and convent of 
Leicefter; in whofe poffeflion it continued till 1540; whin, 
falling into Henry VIII’s hands, it was by him, the next 
year, granted to Thomas Harvey, then of Elmefthorpe. 
He died in 1544, and his tombftone is ftill remaining in 
the neighbouring church of Peckleton. He probably- 
lived at what is now called The Moats, the ancient reli- 
dence, as is fuppofed, of the Malorys. It is ftill remain¬ 
ing, being a few hundred yards from the village. The 
area in the centre, as well as the fquare canals of water 
which encircle it, are tolerably perfefl; and the whole 
being furrounded with majeftic trees, afford an objeft at 
a diitance, and, on a nearer furvey, form a gloomy ap¬ 
pearance, confident with the notions of thofe rude times 
in which it was inhabited. The three furviving daughters 
and a grand-daughter of Thomas Harvey were found to 
be bis coheirs. The grand-daughter, Anne Fowler, was 
afterwards the wife of John Noel, efq, of Whellelburgh ; 
who, in her right, became pofleired of the lordfliip of 
Kirkby Malory. 
William Noel, efq. of Whellelburgh, is noticed by Mr. 
Burton, in 1622, as lord of the manor of Kirkby. He 
ferved the office of (heriff of Leicefterlhire in 1604, and 
that of Warwickfliire in 1624. He died 1641, and was 
buried at Kirkby. His fecond fon, Verney Noel, was ad¬ 
vanced to the dignity of a baronet in 1660. His fon, fir 
William Noel, married Margaret, eldeft daughter of John
