miller, which occupation he followed with 
industry and attention till about the year 
1766, when, by a stiange species of insanity, 
he fancied himsel: Earl of Derby, King ina 
Man, assumed those titles, neglected his 
business, and hecame very troublesome toe 
many of his neighbours. ‘In February i767, 
he was arrested for asma!l'd»bt, at the suit 
of the late Duke of Richmond, and. was 
conveyed to the old gaol. at Horsham, from

tiviry of forty three years, four months, and 
eight days, by the hand of death! Simon 
Soucktenid was in stature about six feet, 
was exceedingly well made, and had a come 
manding countenance; -his manners were

he was, however,when offended, excetdirgly 
wrathful, and with difficulty pacified. particu- 
larly when his tre had been occasioned by 
doubts about his assumed dignity. He sup- 
posed himself a state prisoner, and would 
accept of no money or clothes which were 
not presented to him.as coming from the 
king, his cousins His dress was generally 
a drab coat of a very ‘ancient cut, anda 
cocked hat with a black cockade. - Simon 
was addressed, as well by the governors af the 
gaol, as by his fellow prisoners and visitors, 
«* Ty lord!” and to no other denomination 
would he ever reply. He had been supported 
for a number of years past by a weekly sti- 
pend from the parish of Boxgrove, which 
was paid to him by Mr. Smart,and which his 
lordship expended on necessar es with the 
strictest economy; but could scarcely ever
