felf to the arts, and, while in his apprentice- 
fhip, he obtained admittance as a ftudent at 
the Royal Academy ; and his friends, finding

million into the office of Mr, Wyatt, the ar-

At Dartford, in Kent, on) Thurfday, Qc- 
tober 7, J. Heathcote, efq. brother to Sir G. 
Heathcote, in confequence of being thrown 
from ‘his curricle, on Dartford-hill, the pre- 
ceding Sunday evening. Mr. Heathcote’s for- 
tune,which is upwards of 100,000l. goes to his 
two brothe: -s, his‘mother, and a fifter. The 
circumftances of this fhocking accident are as 
follow:—Mr. Heathcote was returning to 
London, in his curricle, when, on entering the 
George Yard, at Dartford, one of the wheels 
went againft the gate-poft, at the entrance, 
and the fhock threw Mr. Heathcote ‘out, 
over the back-part of the vehicle: he fell 
upon his head on the gravel. The concuffion 
was fo violent a one as to fra€ture his fkulk 
in a mot dreadful manner. The fervant, 
with the affiftance of the hoftler, lifted up his 
unfortunate mafter. When he recovered the 
fhock, which was not till fome time had 
elapfed, mental derangement followed, and, 
in that flate, what with the excruciating pain 
he fuffered, and the diforganifed ftate 9 
faculties, he endeavoured to deftroy every 
thing around him, With difficulyy he was 
fecured; but his ftrength was fo great, that 
it eeaiured fix men to hold him! He was 
put to bed, and exprefles were immedjately 
forwarded to Sir Walter Farquhar and Lady 
Heathcote. Her Ladyfhip received the me- 
lancholy news at the time fhe was preparing 
to drefs for the ball at Margate. ) Sir Walter 
Farquhar attended, and the fituation of the 
unfortunate gentleman was found almoft too 
dreadful to defcribe. The gravel on which 
he fell was fo completely buried in the fkull, 
that, though a great quantity had been ex-

the whole. In this afflitive fituation, all 
hopes of his recovery were given up, and a
