For a length of time he refided in an ohYcure dwelling at Madeley, into which, it is faid, he has not for many years admitted either male or female, and, from the best accounts, it was indeed a dwelling of complete wretchedness. It is about 15 years fince he purchafed a load of coals, a part of which were left at the time of his death. His chief employment was to go about to the adjacent towns, carrying letters and fmall parcels, and doing errands for his neighbours. His perfon helpoke the most abject penury; he ufually appeared in an old flonched hat and tattered garments, fcarcely fufficient to cover his nakednets, with a ragged bag hung over his fhoulders, in which he molly carried a httle parfley, or fome other kind of herb, the produce of his garden; thefe he generally offered as a prefent at the different places where he had to do bufinef; and, when accepted, he took care to del, them out with a very fparing hand. This thew of generofity, together with his eccentric addrefs and converfation, ufually produced him a tenfold return. On fearching hits tattered fatchel it was found to contain old bores and thue-foles, pieces of paper, &c. which articles he ufually collected in hus per: grinations: his fuck of limen copfitted

his return from Newcastle the Saturday
preceding. By his penurious difpofition
he had amaffed a confiderable fum of mo-

and eight during the winter; a chandelier
for the church; and a bell for the ufe of
the free fchool; 51. per annum towards

The brother of Mr. Sowerby depofed nearly to the fame effect. He faid, that on the 17th he visited his brother and the deceafed; that they were then at words, and that they lived unhap pily; he attributed it to her unfettled state of mind, being of a jealous turn, and fometimes betraying fymptoms of phrenzy, as well as of Liquor. The furgeon was clearly of opinion that her death was produced by drinking the contents of the phial, being aqua fortis, which brought on fuffocation. The Jury returned their verdi, Lunacy.
