Vol. LXI. p. 1226. The trial at bar in the Court of Exchequer, Dublin. J. Flood, elq. verfus the provoit and fellows of Trinity-college, was, on Friday the roth of this inftant May, determined in favour of Mr. Flood. By this decifion a property of 4000l. per annum reverts to that gentleman, which, by the will of the late Henry Flood, efq had been bequeathed to cultivate the study of the Irish language.

Vol LXIII. p. 277, col. r. Mr. John Banner, plumber, of St. Martin's-lane, was born at Frodiham, in Cheshire; came up to London a roor lad; by industry, and his own good fortune, he accumulated a competency. Being of a convivial turn of mind, he was fond of company, and made rather too free with those great enemies to health the bottle and late hours, which brought on a dropfical diforder, and carried him off at the age of 53. Ibid. col. 2. Sir Sampfon Wright was porter in a grocer's fhop fome years, when his wife was a clear-ft rcher at her lodgings in the Strand. He was afterwards taken into the Bridge-office, as a clerk, where he even attended when on the hench in Bow-freet, to which he was introduced by his predeceffor, Sir John Fielding, about the year 1774. He was NOT in Sir John's register-office, the conductor of which was a Mr. Marsden, whofe brother died fuddenly, a very few years ago, in Bruton-street, Berkeley-fqua. His only child, a fon, 25 years of age, brought up at Westminster, and afterwards fent to Cambridge, has lately returned home from Newfoundland, whither he went in the department of the judge-advocate-general.

P. 379. The late Lady Sheffield was the only wife of her Lord, and the mother of his two furviving children, and of a fon who died at five years old; and had been married to him twenty five years, viz. from 1767. The fuppofed fecond Lady Sheffield, copied from Owen's Peerage, vol 111. p. 393, is a wonderful miftake for Sir John Sheffield's lady.-The following translation of the French character in our laft has been fent by a correfpondent : "Society, virtuous fouls, but especially the unfortunate and indigent, have fuffered a fevere and fudden lofs. An unexpected death has taken off, in four days, Lady Sheffield, the molt refpectable of women, of wives, mothers, and friends of manners as gentle as pure; of a mind as modest as improved; of a heart alike noble and fenfible; and of a pity whofe delicacy was equal to its prodigality. Such are the qualities lamented by all who knew her.

Ever fince the difaftrous events which have thrown among us fo many victims of the French frenzy, the has rivaled her generous partner and lord in foftening the lot of fo many unhappy perfons. Priests, laity, men, women, of all ranks and opinions, provided they were honest and unfortunate, found protection in the house, relief in the bounty, and comfort in the friendship, of this

virtuous couple. It is to be feared that Lady Sheffield fell a victim to her zeal and goodnefs. For fome time fhe had been afflicted with a violent and almoft inceffant pain in her fide, which did not, however, interrupt the courfe of her benevolence. Sometimes the, with her own hands, administered relief to the French women, thus fparing their delicacy while the provided for their wants: at other times the brought them medical alliftants, whom he did not confult for her own cafe. In concert with her husband the commiffioned their active friends to find out all the unfortunate fick emigrants, whom he placed in an hofpital, of which her brother is governor; and the furnished cloaths to those who wanted. She had just fitted up a houte for the accommodation of those who, by contagious diseases, were kept at a distance from all places of relief. On Good Friday the spent near two hours in this hofpital, and two more at church, in extreme cold weather. On Saturday morning a pleurify came on. On Tuesday the fymptoms of death appeared; and the next morning fhe died, leaving her family and friends in the deepest affliction. All the unfortunate perfons whom the was acquainted with regret her lofs; and there is not a French emigrant but must hedew her athes with bleffings and tears."

P. 380. Dr. Fotheringham's lady died but a few days before him. He had been chaplam to Dr. Hurd, the prefent excellent Bishop of Worcester; to whom he owed his preferment to the valvable rectory of Fladbury, in that diocefe, and to the warm curacy of Ely
