coming out: this appeared to agitate him 
much. He converifed for a few moments 
with the ordinary, and begged that he might 
not be pulled by the heels. The populace, 
at the moment when the rope was put about 
the neck of the criminal, raifed another fhout; 
and this expreflion of the public opinion, 
4thook his fortitude greatly; he turned to 
the executioner with fome agitation, and 
sequefted him, without delay, to finith the

The city of London have lately begun to 
pull down fome of their old granaties, in . 
Tooley-ftreet, which have been built up- 
wards of two centuries, as appears from the

Bridg Houfe, Sir George Barn then being Lord

koufng corn in times of plenty, which, in 
tinies of fcarcity, they retailed out to the 
poor of their refpective companies, at reduced 
prices.

City of London, Mr. Cowley moved, * that

‘The annuity was accordingly voted. On this 
eccafion, Mr. Cowley read an abftraé& from 
Stow, wherein it was ftated ‘*that Sir Hugh 
Middleton was a public fpirited-man and had 
rendered great fervices to the city of London: 
particularly by bringing the- New River to 
London, and thereby expending his whole 
fortune 5” which was the caufe of the pre- 
fent petitioner being in want. -
