Bian, which eminently qualified him for the 
holy office of a clergyman. His soul was ani¬ 
mated by Faith, and Hope and Charity was 
the practical religion of his life. With all 
the opportunities of mixing in the pleasures of 
the great, and all the accomplishments which 
could adorn the most refined society, he pre¬ 
ferred the peaceful dignity of his hallowed 
profession ; and, like his Divine Master, 
“ he went about doing good.” His hours 
were spent amongst his poor brethren, and his 
approach was hailed as the messenger of com¬ 
fort to their wants, and consolation to their 
afflictions. In his merciful and effectual ef¬ 
forts to reform the vicious, there was a gen¬ 
tleness vvhich invited them back to virtue, a 
generous and tender consideration of all the 
moral infelicities which might have contri¬ 
buted to their fall, and often has the spark of 
virtue, which the harshness of unmitigated 
reproof might have extinguished, often has 
it been animated into activity by that kind¬ 
ness which chased away despair. Farewell, 
genclest spirit! Oh ! Farewell ! No more, 
on the threshold of the window, shall thy 
Welcome footsteps be heard ! No more, at 
thy approach, shall she exclaim to her chil¬ 
dren, There is bread fcr ui to day.” But 
thou art gone where her tears and her prayers 
are registered ; thou art gone to receive the 
glad greeting of thy Redeemer.—'* Well 
done, thou good and faithful servant j enter 
thou into the joy of thy Lord.” And, Oh! 
ye, whose breaking hearts deplore his early 
loss, repine not j he has gone where “ his 
works shall follow him j” and, although the 
hand of death has severed those ties v/hich 
'bound him to your hearts by all the feelings 
of sympathetic approbation, let that Gospel, 
of which he was a faithful minister, be your 
consolation and your refuge ; and, when your 
tears fall on the temb which encloses the be¬ 
loved brother of your hearts, yet shall they 
not be bitter when you contemplate those 
virtues which have deprived death of itssti.ng, 
and which, through the merits of his Re¬ 
deemer, have united him to the “ spirits of 
the just made perfect.”

An action w'as tried at Oakham assiaes 
against a person to recover damages, on ac¬ 
count of his dog having worried some sheep 
belonging to a neighbour. It appearing in 
evidence that there were tivo dogs engaged in 
this predatory excursion, one only of which 
belonged to the defendant^ his council submit¬ 
ted, whether his client could be held liable, 
as it was doubtful which animal was the cri¬ 
minal. The judge held, that even if one was 
principaly the other was an accessary, and 
therefore both were liable. They were con¬ 
joint trespassers, and therefore liable jointly 
and severally. It was a remarkable circum¬ 
stance, said his lordship, but it was well 
known, that dogs agreed together to go out 
upon these marauding expeditions.’— Verdict 
for the plaintiff.
