CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND. 
Hatfield, whofe impoftors and adventures we 
have noticed in our former Numbers was exe- 
cuted at Carlifle, on Saturday, September 
the 3d. As his crimes have attraéted much 
of the public attention, we have recorded 
the following particulars refpe€ting him, 
Sie was born at Mottram, in Chefhire, 
in the year 1759. His firf exploit in vil- 
jainy procured him a wife, the daughter of 
a noble parent, and who poffefled an hand- 
fome fortune. He fquandered away her for- 
tune, then left ber with three daughters, 
whom fhe had borne to him, to perifa, or 
depend on the charity of her relations. She 
did not long furvive. He next travelled in 
Worth America, in Britain and in Ireland. 
in the year 1792 he came to Scarborough, in- 
troduced himfelf to the acquaintance of fome 
of the moft refpeGtable perfons in the town 
and neighbourhood, and infinuated that he 
was, by the intereft of the Duke of Rutland, 
foon to be one of the reprefentatives in Par. 
liament for the borough of Scarboroug 
foaes, 
After feveral weeks ftay at the principal inn 
in Scarborough, his impofture was detedted 
by his inability to fettle his reckoning. He 
was arrefted and thrown into prifon. He had 
been 82 years in confinement, wnen a Mifs 
Nation, with whom he had become acquaint- 
ed, paid his debts, liberated him from confine- 
ment, and gave him her hand in marriage. 
He foon after prevailed with fome highly 
refpectavle merchants to take him into part- 
nerlhip, and to accept his drafts to a large 
amount. On this foundation he made a 
{plendid lleva ml in the metropolis, and, 
before the general ele&lion, even proceeded to 
a canvafs in the borough of Queenborough. 
Sufpicions, however} atifing, i in regard to his 
charaéterana the {tate of his fortune, he retired 
from the indignation of his creditors—-and 
after fome fhort time appeared under the 
name of Colonel Hope, in the valley of But. 
termere, Cumberland, where he married the 
unfortunate young woman, commonly called 
Mary of Buttermere. He was ‘detected and 
apprehended in Brecknockfhire, South Wales, 
and fvon after fent for trial to Carlifle, for 
forgeries committed by him in the name of Col, 
A.Hope. Notyithftanding Hatfield’s various 
enormities, his untimely end excited no fmall 
commiferation among a great number of 
thofe who vifited him. His manners were 
polifhed and infinuating, and he was pofleffed- 
of bright qualities and valuable accomplifh- 
ments “which, if improved ‘to a right purpofe, 
might have rendered him a thining ornament 
to fociety. A little before his trial clofed 
he difcovered a fecret concern, but not a ti- 
morous fhrinking, from his fate. After his. 
condemnation he ate and drank heartily, con- 
verfed with eafe and chearfulnefs, amufed 
_himfelf with writing and reading, and flept 
foundly, 
At the crifis of his exit he thowed 
a regard for decency, not unlike that which 
the firft of the Czfars evinced, when he com- 
pofed his robe as he fellin the fenate-houfe. 
He drew'the cap over his eyes with his 
own hand; took his handkerchief from 
his neck, and bound it himfelf 3 and laftly 
requefted the gaoler to faften down his arms 
that he might not\appear to firuggle with 
them. His body hung an heur on the gal- 
lows, when he was cut down and interred in 
St. Mary’s Church-yard ; the ufual place of 
interment for thofe who fies as malefaétors, 
the parifhicners of Burgh, where Hatfield 
had exprefied a with that he might be buried, 
objeéting to his being laid in their church- 
yard, ‘The only words Hatfield fpoke, in the 
nature of an addrefs to the great number of 
{peGtators prefent was ** May the Almighty 
blefs you all!” On firft feeing the gallows, 
he exclaimed, ** Oh! a happy fight, Ice it 
with pleafure > Whenvhe left the prifon, 
he merely wifhed his fellow- prifoners might 
be happy. 
The following is a literal, and vemalee 
copy from the original autograph, by the de-~ 
ceafed John Hatfield, a few days previous to 
his execution, as it appears authenticated oY oT
