merits, in this teftimony, all the contem- 
_ poraries of Mr, Cartier, cordially concurred ; 
for mo Inftance can be produced of any devia- 
tion from the fricteft integrity. In the au- 
tumn of 1774, he married his fecond wife, 
Stephena, daughter of Stephen Law, efq. of 
Broxbourn,Herts formerly Governor of Bom- 
bay, and fifter of Dr. Lawrence, archdeacon 
of Rechefter. Near the end of the fame 
year, he fettled at Bedgbury, near Goudhurf, “ 
in Kent, which eftate he purchafed in 1784, 
where he conftantly refided until his death, 
extending his liberality to many indigent 
neighbours, and rendering this liberality more 
impreflive by the fuavity of his manners, 
and his condefcending behaviour. With op- 
portunities of accumulating immenfe wealth, 
he retired from his high office with a fortune 
moderate in comparifon to many of thofe ac- 
guired by perfons in inferior ftations, though 
equal to his defires, which were ever regulat- 
ed by virtue and prudence. . With’ great 
chearfulnefs of difpofition, and a quick relith 
of life, he was a devout Chriftian and fincere 
believer. His abilities were far fuperior to 
what falls to the ordinary lot of men; and 
‘toa highly cultivated underftanding was add- 
ed the foundeft judgment. During the courfe 
of a Jong life, in which he was often fub- 
jected to arduous trials, a ftain never attached 
_ to his charaéter ; and, as he had a confcience. 
void of offence both towards God and man, 
fo has he in India, as in England, left a cha- 
rafter, beloved and refpefted 5 and, wherefo- 
ever his name was known, his memory will 
be cherifhed and revered. ]
