At Ofweftry, aged 70, John Lloyd, efq. at-

extenfive practice, Mr. Lloyd approved him- 
felf deferving of the chara@er which Judge 
Perryn gave him; “aman of ftriét probity 
and retpeétability, and defervedly eminent in 
his profefiion.” Me was the original inftitutor 
of iocieties for the profecution of felons, of 
which that of Ofweftiy was the firft, and is. 
how, we believe, the mof numerous in the 
kingdom. He was at frit doubtful whether 
fuch affenations would be countenanced by 
courts of juftice; but was foon fatisfied on 
that point, with a high compliment paid to 
the members, and the rmftitutor, by that lumi- 
nary of the law, the late lord chief jultice’ 
Mansfield. He has been complimented from 
the bench, for his virtues and abilities, by the 
prefent lord chief juftice Kenyon, and his’ 
name was proverbial in the mouth of lord 
Thurlow (when chancellor) fer his patience, 
Having, by dint of perfeverance, fucceeded in 
a tedious and expenfive chancery fuit for a 
baronet in Wales, he’ was rewarded for his 
exertions with an annuity of sol. for life. Gn 
the prefent proprietor coming into poffeffion, 
gool. more were added; and though he did’ 
not live long to enjoy this addition, the 
gratitude ofthe generous baronet remains equally 
exemplary. Mr. Llovd did not make it an 
invariable tule to feek the wealthy client; it 
was with him a fufficient recommendation, 
that the caufe was good. As a proof of this 
affertiony he recovered an eftate of upwards of 
2001 per annum for a poor mechinic, who 
could net raife ive pouuds for carrying on the 
fuit. He was equally a cheerful companion to 
old and young; his wit (and in repartee he 
greatly excelied} was nervous and pointed; 
he cultivated an underftanding, naturally vi- 
g0108S, by reading and reflection, and poffefled 
a very retentive memory. He was fincere in 
his profeffions of friendilip, hofpirable without 
protufion, and a ufeful member of the corpo- 
tation, to,which he belonged: His judgment 
was keen, penetrating, and uaimpaired to the 
jat; and fenfible of his approaching difolu-- 
tien, he met death with that calm refignation

nefs of nine days, in the 75th year of his ALE, 
Mr, John Sorthwell, late head-niaker of the 
grammar fchool at taat place. He was born ar 
Epfom in 1722, and educated under his father, 
the Rev. John Southwell, diffenting minifter 
of the prefbyterian denomination, but never 
pallor of eny congregation, who. then kept a 
boarding-fehool. At the age of 17, on his 
father being prefented, by the company of mer- 
chant taylors, ty the grammar-feliool ef Wol- 
verhampton, 32 1739, he engaged as ufher in

Hackney. In 1749, through the imtereft of 
Ch incellor Hardwick, he was chefen matter of 
the gramimaz-fchool of Stafford; the duties. of 
_ which office he performed with ability and'con- 
fcientious punctuality for 33 years, refigning it 
in 1732. He kept a bearding-fchool for many 
yours. ¥n 1762, he married Anne, the 3d 
and youngeft daughter of the late Mr. Ifaac 
Allen, of Stafford, who, after 35 years.of un» 
interrupted happinefs, may — repeat over his 
tomb, with the ftridteft truth, the words .of 
Helen, weeping over the body. of He&tor: «>

entertained great refpe& for the nobility ang

of fuperior rank, fearful left {uch intercourfe

authors he was fondeit of during the latter half 
ef his life, were the moralifts and divines of

chureh of England, of which he became a corn- 
municant, he, like hié/father, declined accept -

porter of the meafures of goverament during 
the adminittrations of Walpole, Pelham (the 
honeftett minifter, he faid, we ever had), Lord 
North, and Mr. Pitt, and always paid taxes
