» Died.| At Costessy Hall, Sir William 
Jerningham, bart. 73. In aes his tenantry,y 
poth in this county and on his great estates 
in Staffordshire and Shropshire, have lost a 
liberal landlord, the: poor a most charitable 
patron, and the numerous friends to whom 
to Miss Arnold, niece 
his unbounded hespitality offered an ever™ 
open mansion, can never forget his frank and 
courteous: manners, and the extraordinary 
suavity of his deportment. He wasa great 
admirer of literature, and the Album at his 
seat at Costessy was abundantly supplied 
with poetical effusions left by the various 
guests: whom his intelligent conversation 
drew near him. Descended from one of the 
most ancient families in the country, he 
added to the solid worth of the old English 
gentleman, the winning courtesy and grace- 
fulness of modern refinement. Precluded 
ty an adherence to the religious faith of his 
* ancestors from parliathentary and most other, 
civil duties, he employed his leisure hours in 
beautifying, on a great scale, thé country 
around his venerable mansion. Of the taste 
displayed in the execution of his plans of im- 
provement, the public have been enabled to 
judge for themselves, by the kind permission 
which he gave to all, to ride or walk about 
his extensive plantations. He is succeeded 
in his title and estate by his eldest son, George 
Jerningham, esq. of Haughley Park, near 
Bury. :

At Upwell, James Lee, esq. He was an 
excellent landlord, letting his estates at easy 
rents, and though not in the habit ef granting 
Aeases, it was.an invariable rule with him to 
continue his tenants, they punctually paying 
their rents. and managing their farms ina 
hushbandmanlike manner; and by dividing his 
large property into small farms,’ he was the 
means of accommodating many of his neigh- 
bours to their considerable advantage. He 
was also in the habit, fur the last fifty years’ 
of his iife, of anuually lending considerable 
sums of money on mortgage, and notwith- 
standing he was frequently accustomed to 
make purchases s, still from his large income 
he was €nabled to complete chem without 
callingtin his monies, which he was never 
known to do so long as the interest’ was 
panctually paid. Indeed, there are monies 
now out which he advanced fifty years ago. 
There are but few people in his sphere of life 
who have been able or willing thus to ac- 
commodate. He was always remarkable fur 
easy access and pleasantry on business. ~
