remembers when there were only eighty 
houses in the parish of Walcot—and no poor- 
rate!—There were two capital clothiers im

had fifteen children, one of whom survives

was then, by his own account, 97, though it 
was reported he was 103, Jie has lived there 
nearly 11 years, andalways expressed himself 
grateful for the humane attention he experi- 
enced. He perfectly recollected hearing 
about the death of Queen Anne, and the co- 
ronation of George I. His facultics were

panion, and a sincere friend. Eton Caliese 
had the honcur of his education; few surpas- 
sed him in classic elegance or mathematical 
precision. About the i eae 1775 Mr. H. pur- 
chased the Leasowes, in Shropshire, which 
he greatly improved, aid evinced much taste 
in the erection of the house, which he adap- 
ted tothe native simplicity of that celebrated 
Ferme Ornee. In 1780 he was high sheriff for 
the county of Salop. On purchasing Bevis 
Mount, a seat of the late Lord Peterborough, 
Mr. Li. disposed of the Leasowes, after a re= 
sidence Of many years. It is much to be re= 
gretted that he never turned his thoughts to 
cbtain a seat in the British Senate, Far al hich 
he was sO eminently qualified by nature, edu- 
cation, and fortune.”
