the decease of Dr. Davie, master of Baliol College, Oxford,
in 1798. He was a native of the Island of Antigua and
related to several families of distinction in this kingdom.
Some years since he went out Chaplain to the British Settle-
ment of Sierra Leone, and on his return to this country was
presented, by Mr. Whitbread, to the vicarage of Bledlow,
where both by precept and example he approved himself a
faithful fjastor over the flock committed to his charge, as
well as a learned, eloquent, diligent, and successful Minister
of the Gospel, which was his own support through various
trials which he had to conflict with in life, and happily in iiis
experience afforded a source of unfailing consolation under
the last struggles of dissolving nature. {Ibid., p. 1086.)

Extract from " Personal and professional recollections "
by Sir Gilbert Scott, sent to me by Mr. J. Oldrid Scott,
F.R.I.B.A. :—
" My mother's family were West Indians. Of the family
of her father, Dr. Lynch of the island of Antigua, I know
but little, but her maternal grandfather was the possessor at
that time of a valuable estate known as ' Gilbert's Estate.'
This family settled at a very early date in Antigua, previous
to which they had resided in Devonshire, one of their
GILBERT FAMILY.
15
representatives being Sir Humplii-ey Gilbert, half-brother
and companion in arms of Sir Walter Raleigh. My great-
grandfather, Nathaniel Gilbert, appears to have been a most
excellent man. Living in a century of extreme deadness in
religious matters, he was roused to a sense of the short-
comings of his age in this respect, either by the preaching
or by the writings of Wesley. He consequently joined the
Wesleyaus at a time when they were not considered as
severed from the Church of England. At his request
Wesley sent over to Antigua some ministers of his Society
to instruct the negroes and others, but though the whole
family joined the new Society, it is clear that Mr. Gilbert
did not consider himself otherwise than a member of the
Churcli of England, for he brought up his eldest son as a
clergyman. Nor do I recollect even a hint of those mem-
bers of the family who were living during my childhood
(including my grandmother and a great-aunt. Miss Eliza-
beth Gilbert) being other than Church people, although the
last-named treasured up most affectionately her personal
recollections of John Wesley himself, and retained through
life a strong sympathy with his followers. This family was
indirectly connected with several good families in England,
among others with that of Lord Northampton, and with the
Abdys, and with the Gordons of Stocks. Sir Edward Cole-
brooke once told me that he was connected with the
Gilberts, and Sir Denis le Marchant also through his
marriage, as also Lady Seymour, wife of Canon Sir John
Seymour, and Sir George Grey."
William Gilbert.
" A son of Mr. Gilbert " (Nathaniel Gilbert, Speaker of
the House of Assembly in Antigua, who introduced
Methodism into the West Indies, and died in 1774)
" published in the year 1796 ' The Hurricane, a Theo-
sophical and Western Eclogue' .... I knew him well, and
look back with a melancholy pleasure to the hours which I
have passed in his society, when his mind was in ruins.
His madness was of the most incomprehensible kind, as
may be seen in the notes to the ' Hurricane ' ; but the poem
contains passages of exquisite beauty. I have among my
papers some curious memorials of this interesting man.
They who remember him will not be displeased at seeing
him thus mentioned with the respect and regret which are
due to the wreck of a noble mind." (Southey's ' Life of
Wesley,' edition 1885, vol. ii., c. xxviii., p. 230, note.)
In a note on the ' Excursion,' book iii., Wordsworth
quotes a passage from one of William Gilbert's notes to the
' Hurricane,' adding, " The reader, I am sure, will thank
me for the above quotation, which, though from a strange
book, is one of the finest passages of modern English prose."
In an essay on Poetry in ' Essays on some of the Forms
of Literature,' by Thomas T. Lynch (London, 1853), Gil-
bert is quoted as " a mystic writer ; one of those in whose
dark pages shine many clearest gems of truth." " He wrote
little, but was a man of genius, though of a genius shadowed
by insanity."
(These notes of William Gilbert were contributed by
Mr. E. Melville Lynch.)
Notes by Mr. Charles Hole of 58 Kimberley Road,
Clapham Rise, in 1887 : —
I find that Nathaniel Gilbert was curate of Aveley in
Essex in 1789.
In 1791 Nathaniel Gilbert was curate of Great Bud-
worth in Cheshire, the vicar of which was W. H. Warren.
Euphemia Lynch married Thomas Scott on March 25,
1806, at Bledlow.
Mrs. Lynch died Nov. 17, 1835, aged 80.
Ormond Street, where the widowed Mrs. Lynch seemed
to have lived with her sister Elizabeth and her daughter
Euphemia (afterwards Mrs. Scott) when she left Antigua.

Sir — My G.mother Ann Gilbert was the 4th dau. of
Nathi Gilbert, some time Speaker of the House of Assembly
in Antigua, by Elizabetli his 2nd wife, a dau. of W"'
Lavington, Esq., Judge of the Island. Her brother
Nathi Gilbert, who married a Miss Ford of this parish, was
Mr. Fletcher's last Curate. He afterwards Was Curate to
Mr. Cecil at St. John's, Bedford Row, afterwards he became
vicar of Bledlow, Bucks, & died 1807. Mr. Cecil preached
his funeral sermon. His son by Miss Ford, the Rev. Nath'
Gilbert, married his cousin Grace Home, whose father
Melville Home married my G.Mother's sister. The Rev.
Nath' Gilbert lived for some time at Broseley Hall in the
adjoining parish to this. I knew him well. He often used
to come & stay at my father's— Geoi-ge Lavington Yate,
the Vicar of Wrockwardine ; & after residing for some
years, & in more than one place, he went back to Antigua
and died at his estate there. I have a letter to my
G* Aunt Miss Elizabeth Gilbert from Mrs. Fletcher, ad-
dressed to her when she was living at Bloomsbury in 1796.
I have also a short ace* of the death of my G' Aunt Alice
Gilbert, also many letters from their mother, my g' g*
G.mother, to her children in England, sent from Antigua.
I have heard Mr. Nath' Gilbert my cousin and my father
say that Sir Walter Raleigh was an ancestor of the family.
I enclose three letters from the Rev. Charles Hole, who
wrote to me ab' the family. Will you please to return to
me the letters. I believe Euphemia Gilbert, who married
Mr. Lynch, was the eldest daughter, & Alice, who died in
1772, was the 2nd. I enclose order form, &—
I remain. Yours truly,
Geo. E. Yate.

Dear Sir — Mr. Nat. Gilbert, who died at Bledlow in
1807, married Miss Sarah Maria Ford, daughter of Darby
Ford, Esq., of Coalbrookdale, on May 13th/84 ; they were
married by licence by the Rev. John Fletcher. The Darby
family were a well-known Quaker family in Coalbrookdale ;
they were iron masters. Mr. Gilbert was Curate at St.
Andrew's, Holborn, at the time of his marriage. Mr.
Melville Home, who was Mr. Fletcher's immediate successor
in the charge of this parish, & the 1st missionary to Sierra
Leone, married Mary Gilliert I believe. I wrote to a
neighbouring clergyman, the Rev. T. Owen,* Xt Church,
WeUington, Salop, to ask when the last Mr. Nat.
Gilbert died, whom I knew, Mr. Owen was in the Island
at the time. Mr. Nat. Gilbert who married his cousin
Grace Home had no issue. My father c"! have answered
all f queries ab* him. Archdeacon Melville Home
Scott, vicar of St. Mary's, Lichfield, c<^ perhaps give you
information.
Yrs truly,
Geo. E. Yate.

terms. He was good enough to send me some letters of Mr. Gilbert's

THE HISTORY OF ANTIGUA.
have been measured out for Captain Archibald Henderson,
David Arnutt, and Lieut. Christopher AVhite IG Jan. 10G9
by Archibald Cockran, Surveyor-General. 2. A patent for
these 500 acres was granted by Sir W. Stapleton to John
Gunthorpe on 10 Jan. 1681-2 at the rent of an ear of Indian
corn payable every Christmas Day. 3. Warrant for granting
land to Jlajor William Mussendine to make his former lands
up to 500 acres, and certificate of Archibald Cockran that
by order of Colonel Philip Warner he had on 7 Aug. 1677
surveyed 500 acres formerly granted to Henderson, White,
and Arnutt. Also, 4. Deed by which Major William Mus-
sendin for a valuable consideration (of which four negros
have been already received) sells to Mr. John Gunthorpe of
London, goldsmith, a moiety of 500 acres 17 Sep. 1678,
John Gunthorpe being now a partner with Mussendin.
(3 white servants and nine negros still apparently to be
handed over.) The above Captain Archibald Henderson
was banished from the Island in 1674 and his lands confis-
cated or sold. (Colonial Leewai'd Islands, vol. 50.)
A Letter from the Governor, Council, and Assembly of
Antigua was read on 30 April 1 687 at a meeting of the Board
of Trade which was in answer to a petition of 1685. They
state that in 1669 Captain Archibald Henderson obtained a
warrant for himself, David Arnett, and Christopher White
to lay out 500 acres in New North Sound, which Archibald
Cochran, the Surveyor-General, accordingly did doe. He
continued there till 1671, when he was accused of certain
crimes, and sent prisoner to England. He left his wife in
possession and returned in 1672. He was subsequently
banished in 1674. The estate was afterwards put up for
sale, but nobody would buy it, so it continued waste till
1677, when Major Mussenden petitioned Colonel Philip
Warner, then Deputy-Governor, and it was granted to him.
Later John Gunthrop purchased it from the said Mussen-
den, and improved it at a great charge and expense, so
Sir William Stapleton gave him a patent for it. Margaret
Henderson on 12 May 1685, as guardian of her son, com-
menced but withdrew an action in the Court of Common
Pleas. Gunthrop has gone to New England, but is dayly
expected to return. (' Colonial Entry Book,' No. 47, pp. 259
and 280.)
1687, Dec. 1. Reply of Mrs. Margaret Henderson to
their Lordships that Captain Archibald Henderson was in
1670 acquitted of all charges and received 20,000 lbs. of
sugar as damages. He was unjustly banished, never having
been heard in defence, and went to Jamaica, and there died
in 1676. The lands then descended to petitioner's husband
James Henderson, then in his Majesty's service in Scotland,
and it was three years before he heard of his brother's death.
He started for Antegoa, but died on the voyage out, when
the premises descended to her son, and she says : " That
since Captain Henderson last Banishment, the then Deputy-
Marshall one John Gunthrop Son in Law to that Egregious
'Traytor John Cook Solicitor to the pretended high Court of
Justice against King Charles the Martyr .... hath, by the
favor or Commission of Colonel Warner, got into possession
■of the said Plantation and being grown powerfull and rich
by the Profits thereof," etc. She weut to Antigua in 1684,
but left off action at law because everybody was agaiust her.
Her said brother was banished " when Gunthrop's Father
in Law Cook was a lawgiver." Order for both parties to
appear in eight months with title deeds.
1738. Governor William Mathew writes that he has
appointed to a seat in the Council " John Gunthorpe, Esq.,
a Gentleman of first distinction in the Island by his affec-
tion to his Majesty & Government by his Capacity, and by
his Estate." (B. T. Leeward Islands, vol. 26.)

Forces. From thence he found Means to discharge himself, and
embark'd on Huson's privateering Expedition to the West Indies ;
where, at Barbadoes, he was commanded on Shore, to take Care of
some Sailors. Happen'd to kill one of them in a Scuffle, was try'd,
and by the Interest of some Scots Gentlemen, to whom he pretended
a national Relation, was acquitted ; yet, as this Accident made him
doubtful of his future Safety on Board, it put a Stop to his farther
Prosecution of this 'Voyage. He had not been long at Barbadoes,
before the Island of S' Christophers and Nevis were attack'd, or
threaten'd with an Invasion from the French ; and some Gentlemen
of that Island, offering their Service as Volunteers, for the Assist-
ance or Relief of their Neighbours in Distress, Sir Timothy Thorn-
hill was appointed their Commander, form'd them into a Regiment,
and took M' Hamilton with him as an Adjutant, who I think was

able Debt due to her from her Mother." ' In 1712 General Hamilton

THE HISTORY OE ANTIGUA.

1803. Memorial of Isabella, Countess of Glencairn, re-
ceived 13 April and read 18 April reciting that her former
husband, William Leslie Hamilton, was appointed Solicitor-
General of St. Kitts at the time of the rebellion of the
North American Colonies, when a great trade in arms was
carried on between that island and St. Eustatius for the
rebels, which he was very zealous in repressing. He was
later made Attorney-General, and received twelve months'
leave of absence for the recovery of his health, but died,
however, and all his papers and effects, which went in
another ship, were lost. He had spent large sums for
Government, but she cannot make out accurate accounts
from the loss of papers. She petitions for repayment. She
again wrote Oct. 1803 from Updown House near Margate.
Memoi'ial of Isabella, Dowager Countess of Glencairn,
reciting that her former husband, William Leslie Hamilton,
spent in the service of Government £15,000, and died at
London four days after his arrival there from the West
Indies. The ship with his papers foundered. Her late
husband John, late Earl of Glencairn, not surviving his
mothei-, her fortune has passed to another branch of the
family. Her friend the late Lord Nelson could have con-
firmed her statements. Viscount Castlereagh, to whom she
addressed her application, returned it and said that it
should be made to the Secretary of State for War. From
various letters annexed it seems that \V. L. Hamilton re-
sided at "Olivees,"* which was a magnificent house one
mile from Basseterre, the property of his sistei-, where he
lived rent-free. He supplied Governor Burt with large
sums for obtaining information and suppressing the trade
with the rebels. Letter from Joseph Foster Barham,
* Basseterre, St. Christopher's. Either in going or in re-
turning a visit might be made to the Monkey Hill Estate and the
OUves (indeed, the hill is part of the former). The estate-houses
belonging to them both, pleasantly and coolly situated, standing
high, two or three hundred feet above the level of the sea, are
favourable instances of the dwellings of the planters, especially
that of the Olives. It stands on a well-raised stone terrace, paved
with marble, and when in its best days (it is now out of repair)
had spacious open galleries and verandahs. One large finely-
proportioned room extends the whole length of the front, with a
handsome deep cornice, and ample doors, both of dark mahogany,
and if I recollect rightly a half wainscot of the same wood. It was
in the bygone and convivial times the great reception and dining
room. The estate comprising 283 acres, viz. 151 of cane-land, 132 of
pasture, was spoken of in proof of the depreciated value of landed
property ; the gentleman then residing there said that the whole
might be purchased for £:S000, a less sum than the original cost of
the house. (Davy's ' West Indies,' p. 41)3.)
nephew of Governor Burt, who said that the latter was much
indebted to the writer's father. William L. Hamilton's
practice for three years preceding his acceptance of office
averaged £13,000 currency a year or £9000 sterling, all
which he rehnquished on his appointment. (Undated.
' Colonial Correspondence,' vol. 49.)
1807, Sep. 5. Vaughan Hamilton writes from St. Kitts
stating that he is a member of the bar of that island,
that his uncle William Leslie was Attorney-General, and
applies for the post of Solicitor-General. He was also
high up in the 1st Tripos at Cambridge, and spent seven
years at the Inner Temple. {Ibid., vol. 45.)
1815, Oct. 29. In Berners-street, aged 73, Mrs. Mary
Hamilton, relict of the late Robert Hamilton, M.D., of the
island of Grenada. (' Gentleman's Magazine,' p. 036.)
1824, May 17. At Boulogne-sur-Mer, Isabella, Countess
of Glencairn. She was daughter of Henry David, loth Earl
of Buchan, by .\gnes, 2nd daugliter of Sir James Stewart of
Colness and Goodtress, Bart, (who died Dec. 11, 1778);
was married Jan. 21, 1770, to William Leslie Hamilton,
Esq. (who died Oct. 1780, Attorney-General of the Leeward
Islands, without issue) ; and her Ladyship was married,
2dly, to the Right Hon. and Rev. John, 18th and last Earl
of Glencairn, who died .Sep. 24, 179(!, leaving his Countess
without issue. {Ibid., p. 177.)
1835, Dec. 8. At Hallo well (Maine), United States,
Benjamin Vaughan, esq., formerly of London, in his 85th
year. {R/id., p. 445, A" 1836.)
1840, Oct. 1 1. At Streathara Common, Arabella, wife of
Andrew Hamilton, esq. {Ibid., p. 554.)
Less than a mile below Irvington, and about half-way
between that village and Dobb's Ferry, is the beautiful
estate of Nevis, the home and property of the Honourable
James A. Hamilton, eldest surviving son of the celebrated
General Alexander Hamilton, one of the founders of the
Republic of the United States. (Nevis is the name of one of
a group of the Antilles where General Hamilton was born.)
It stands on the brow of the river slope, in the midst of
a charming lawn, that extends from the highway to the
Hudson, a distance of half a mile, and commands some of
the finest and most extensive views of that portion of the
river. The mansion is large, and its interior elegant. It
presents many attractions to the lover of literature and art,
aside from the delightful social atmosphere with which it is
filled. There may be seen the library of General Hamilton,
one of the choicest and most extensive in the country at the
time of his death. There, too, may be seen a portrait of
Washington, by Stuart, painted for General Hamilton, in
1798, when, in expectation of a war with France, the
United States organised a provisional government, and ap-
pointed him acting commanding general under the ex-
president (Washington) who consented to be the chief.
On the river bank of the Nevis estate is a charming little
coctage, completely embowered, where Mr. Irving was a fre-
quent and delighted visitor. It is the summer residence of
Mr. Schuyler(a grandson of General Schuyler), Mr. Hamilton's
son-in-law. ('The Hudson,' Art Journal, A° 1861, p. 241.)
According to the most reliable authority on the subject,
Alexander Hamilton was born on the 11th day of January
1757, of Scottish parentage, on the island of Nevis. His
father died while he was yet a child ; his mother did not
long survive her husband, leaving her boy an orphan in
indigent circumstances .... He sailed for Boston in 1774.

Extract from a letter written 28 March 1892 by the
Rev. G. H. M. Hamilton, Vicar of Tandridge near Godstone,
Surrey : " I cannot find the connecting link between the
West Indies & Scotland. I feel sure that my family came

fi'om Scotland oi'iginally. I have the crest & coat of anus
which belonged to my Grandfather. The coat of arms has
four quarterin<;s, 2 with Hamilton roses, and 2 with Arran
ships — Arran was the second title. William Leslie Hamil-
ton was ray Great Grandfather's brother. He was married
in 1770 and called to the Bar before that. The Mid.
Temple records have William Hamilton son of William
H. of S' Christopher Esq. admitted 24 Nov. 1701 called to
the bar 1767. There can be no doubt I think, that the
Leshe was left out hy mistake because there are several
proofs that William Leslie H. was called to the bar, and at
the same time my friend who searched the records could
find no trace of a Will"' Leslie H. being enrolled.
Henry Douglas H. my Great Grandfather owned as I
understand large estates in Nevis called the Hamilton
Estates. Andrew Hamilton my Grandfather was a clergy-
man in the W. Indies for some time. I have been told that
he held a living on the Hamilton Estate called Fig Tree.
He died at Knipton. Many years ago a connection of my
family on being asked as to our pedigree by my uncle, sent
him a very complete one of the Hamiltons of Monkland
saying that that was our family tree — but I cannot connect
it with, the West Indian H.'s."

1682, Sep. 25. Christopher Jeaflfreson writes from Lon-
don : "Captain Hill, who married Madame Russell, has ob-
teyned (or very near obteyned) the company as well as the
island (.S' Christopher's), and has bespoke the Great Caban
in Captain Helmes his ship." And on 15 Nov. following:
" Captain Hill and his lady have taken theire passage in
Captain Helmes' ship, by which I sende this. I writt you
in my last, that he was going over governour, as he is ; but
he has no commission for it or the companie from his
Majestic, only the King's and duke's letters to Sir William
Stapleton, which, as I understand, are not recomendatory
to either government or company, but in general termes ; so
that his dependence is wholly upon Sir William Stapleton's
kindness, and promise, made by letter, of both those places
. . . . By that acquaintance I have with him, I believe
him to be a very honest, just, trew-hearted man, altogethei-
a souldier." And on 2 Dec. : The Captain ( Hill) has seen
service in France and Flanders, as well as in England,
" where he bears the commission of eldest lieutenant of
horse, as well as of Brigadier of the Duke's Guards."
His rank in the army, therefore, is higher than that of any
other officer serving under General Stapleton. The gentle-
man's " courage is undoubted, and yet he is free from pride ;
he is affable, courteous, and of a very good disposition."
He will be found in the West Indies, as he has been found
at home, " a trew and loyall Protestant, a stout soldier, and
an honest trew heart," "very well beloved and having a
great number of good as well as great friends about court."

THE HISTORY OF ANTIGUA.
In 1763 Edward Horn was appointed Attorney-General
of Grenada.
Antigua. lu Chancery. 12 Oct. 1782. Petition of
Edward Home of Antigua, Esq., reciting that John Saw-
colt, Esq., died seised of the Road estate, and by his will
dated 31 Dec. 1748 gave all his estate real and personal to
his six daughters, Henrietta, Elizabeth, Anne, Rachel,
Frances, and Barbara equally. Anne Sawcolt died shortly
after her father, and her share went to her five sisters.
Rachel married petitioner's father Samuel Home, by whom
she had petitioner and a daughter Lydia, who is yet living.
On 17 July 1766 an Indenture was made between Samuel
Home and Rachel his wife of the one part, Valentine M.
Home, Esq., of the other, and they granted to the latter
one-fifth of Sawcolts (then in the occupation of Mrs. Mary
Trant, widow) on trust for their two selves for their lives,
and then to their children equally after their death. Samuel
Home died in 1766, and your orator became 21 in Dec.
1771, squandered his fortune, and sold his reversion of half
of one-fifth to his near relative John Horsford. Elias
Ferris valued it. Sawcolts and the Body plantations rented
together for £900 a year, and the Body was underlet at
£120 a year. John Horsford only offered him £300 c. for
his one-tenth. The estate consists of 120 acres, worth £60
per acre. His mother was 59 and very infirm when he sold
his reversion, and petitioner was then at Grenada and a
minor. His mother died May 1776, and left him nothing
by her will. His father died in North America. His sister
Lydia is wife of Dr. Robert Reid of Antigua. Petitions
the Court for a decree in his favour. (B. T. Leeward
Islands, 43.)
Letter dated 15 July 1783 from Edward Home, Esq.,
with his petition to Lord North reciting that he attained
the age of 21 on 4 Dec. 1771, and soon after from extrava-
gance dissipated his property, and in Aug. 1772 had to sell
his reversion of one-tenth of Sawcolts, to which he was to
succeed after his mother's death. John Horsford was the
lessee of that estate, and his lease would expire in 1783,
he being petitioner's first-cousin, who offered £300 for his
one-tenth share. Petitioner's mother was aged above 50
and in bad health in 1773. Her husband had lately died
and the estate had fallen into debt. She died in May 1776,
much offended with him for having sold his reversion.
Petitioner having lived some years with Thomas Warner,
the Attorney-General, was admitted in 1778 to practise law,
and brought a chancery suit v. Horsford in 1782. The
estate was worth £15,000, and his one-tenth was worth at
least £1500. Petitioner lost his case and now appeals
against Horsford, who took advantage of his youth and
inexperience to defraud him. (' Colonial Correspondence,'
vol. 18.)
In a Close Roll of Ashton Warner of Antigua, dated
1787, reference is made to a deed of 1 May 1771 by which
he granted to a trustee all that his plantation lately pur-
chased from Valentine Morris Home, late of Antigua, but
then of Grenada, Esq., in St. John's Parish and Division,
containing 247 acres.

not an uncommon yield on this property, and that the pro-
prietor residing on it in a few years accomplished the
paying off of a debt of £60,000 ; but, be it remembered,
this was before the equalization of the sugar duties was
commenced, yet, if I have been rightly informed, since the
act of emancipation." (Davy's ' West Indies,' p. 407.)

The Kirwans of Antigua came with several other allied
families from the city of Galway, whose inhabitants in the
seventeenth century carried on a considerable trade with the
West Lidies. The Dalys acquired great influence in Galway
during the eighteenth century, most of the mayors having
been elected from that family. Sir John Kirwan Fitz-
Stephen, who purchased Castle Hackett, amassed a large
fortune in the West Indies and was mayor of his native city
in 1686 and 1687. He was the first to introduce modern
glass windows there in 1689. (See Hardiman's ' History of

Extract from a letter written 22 Nov. 1889 by Mrs.
Ellen Kirwan of the Waterwork estate, Montserrat :
My father the late John F. Kirwan of this island was
eldest son of Clement Kirwan of Kendal Lodge, Epping, who
was eldest son of John Kirwan, who was a younger son of
the then Kirwan of Castle Hackett, Galway, and came over
to England to seek a fortune. He started as West India
merchant and amassed £150,000. I often heard my father
speak of Pat. Kirwan and — Kirwan of Antigua. He never
knew them as both died before 1889 when my father
came out, but as family connections he was interested in
Antigua on dits. Pat. Kirwan was in my great-grandfather's
counting house. Lime Street (the John Kirwan from Galway),
but ran away when a boy, concealing himself on board one
of the ships bound for Antigua and trading for my great-
grandfather ; thus he started in Antigua, and I think died
worth £40,000 — described as a rough Irishman noted for
his blunders. The other Antigua Kirwan, wiiose christian
name escapes my memory, was said to be a very polished
gentleman and noted for his singing; were they brothers or
cousins ? I think Pat. Kirwan died single ; but a Miss
Kirwan, daughter of the other, married a Mr. Wethered,
Commissariat Officer in Antigua. My father knew Mrs.
Wethered and her sister Miss Kirwan intimately in Paris at
the beginning of the century, and her gi-and-daughter Miss
Duffy of 51 Via del Senagli, Florence, is intimately known
s

to me, and the only descendant of the Antigua Kirwans
known of by me.
Pat. and — Kirwan were doubtless nephews from
G-alway of my great-grandfiither's.
My aunt Mrs. Russ.jH of Swanscourte, Kent, has a
Genealogical Tree. I saw it as a child and am trying to get
it, but my aunt, now near ninety, is past attending to any-
thing of the sort.
My mother's sister, a Miss Hamilton, married Shirley
Warner of Antigua ; he died in Trinidad.

1891, Dec. 5. Extract from a letter written by Lady
Knightley in reference to Richard Knighiiley, Esq., of
Surinam:
The only Richard Knightley who will answer as to dates
is Richard, son of Sir Seymour Knightley, the eldest son of
Sir Richard Knightley by his second wife Lady Elizabeth
Seymour, daughter of the Protector Duke of Somerset. Sir
Seymour married Dorothy, daughter of Sir John Bedell of
Hammerton, Hunts, and his eldest son Richard was born
Oct. 3, 1603, died 1667. Baker says he died unmarried,
but the MSS. family history does not say this ; both agree
that he was a Captain in Holland.
A Richard Knightley, one of the original patentees of
the Providence Company in 1630, Lady Knightley thinks
was the then possessor of Fawsley, son of Sir Seymour's
elder half-brother Edward, but of course he may have been Sir
Seymour's son. Richard, son of Edward, died 1639, leaving
the property away from his half-uncles to a cousin.

made on a report from the Lords of the Committee of
Council for hearing appeals from the plantations, to whom
His Majesty in Council had referred the petition, and who
reported they had fully heard the parties .... His Majesty
was pleased by the advice of his Privy Council to order the

and whereas by an Indenture of demise dated the 14th
April 1744 (as in No. 10) .... and whereas during the
time the ejectment was so brought .... and before the

merchant, for their joynt account, and part of the same has
been lately sold by him, but the account of the sales is not
yet rendered .... and other parts remain in his hands
unsold .... and further parts will in all probability be now
on the passage at sea consigned to Richard Oliver .... and
other parts may continue to be shipped off from Antigua
and be consigned .... as their joynt account .... and
whereas the clear fee simple and inheritance of the undivided
moiety .... (subject to the dower of Elizabeth, and to the
lease, etc.) if sold is not worth nor will it fetch the said
several sums .... and James Langford being entirely
satisfied of the truth thereof has requested that his brother

of the said moiety, subject to the dower of Elizabeth aud
covenants of the lease, in full satisfaction of all money

In 1852 Thomas Laugford Brooke of Mere Hall,
Cheshire, was in possession of the following plantations in
Antigua : —
Langford's 4()4 acres St. John's Parish.
Langford's Wood 280 „ St. John's
Jonas's 325 „ St. Peter's „
Laroche's 231 „ St. Paul's „
One or two other estates were probably purchased, for
about 10 years ago the trustees sold the whole of the
Antiguan property of about 1700 acres for £10,000 to Mr.
Comache, a Portuguese merchant of St. John's.
At Langford's there is an old family burial-ground
enclosed by a wall containing a vault formerly used by the
Hodge family.
From the Parliamentary Return of 1873 it appears that
the Mere Hall estate was of 4692 acres and £9707 gross
rental.
Extracts from Besse's ' Sufferings of the Quakers.'
Jonas Langford, a Quaker, was the first of that persuasion
who settled at Antigua. He arrived on the 14th of the 5th
month 1660. Governor Kaynell treated him kindly so he
purchased a piece of land and sent for his family. Shortly
afterwards Governor Carden committed him to prison for
speaking to a priest after his preaching. In Sep. 1660 his
wife arrived. In 1664 he was imprisoned for holding a
religious meeting in his house. In 1666 at the French
capture of the island he was one of the four quaker masters
of families who refused to take the oath of allegiance to the
French King. While Colonel Philip Warner was Deputy-
Governor he was again imprisoned for letting his people
work on a fast day. In 1676 Job Langford was imprisoned
for refusing to go on guard, and Jonas was fined 3500 lb.
for not providing arms for himself and servants. In 1679
the latter sent the following letter to the Deputy-Governor
Paul Lee : —
" Friend, Capt. Paul Lea !
I am at this Time, being pressed in Spirit, constrained
to write to thee, and to lay before thee the unchristian-like
Carriage and rude Deportment of some of those Members
which go under tlie Name of Christians, but are by their
Fruits found to be the Synagogue of Satan ; aud though
such may be upheld, impowered, aud strengthened to wrong
and abuse the Innocent, who desire in this World nothing
more than the pure Exercise of their Consciences towards
God, yet I say the Rod of the Wicked shall not always rest
upon the Backs of the Righteous, for though Hand join in
Hand the Wicked shall not go unpunished, notwithstanding
all their large Profession of Christianity which in the Day
of Account will no more escape the Curse than did the
Figtree that made a fair Show of Fruit but brought forth
only Leaves : Now I cannot but lay these Things briefly
before thee, thou being the principal Person, by whose Order
those Persons acted, as they said, for upon the 30th Day of
the first Month last, we, the People and Servants of the
Most High God, were ac the House of our Friend Anthony
Cade, and sitting still, waiting upon the Lord to know his
holy Will and to receive of his spiritual Blessings, even the
heavenly Bread and living Water of Life for the refreshing
and nourishing of our immortal Souls, without which we
cannot live nor subsist comfortably : I say, as we were in
this inuocent harmless Posture, came in John Austin with
his Sword, and Stephen Harper Constable, and having sat a
while amongst us, rose up and went forth, and took Counsel
together (as did the Jews against our Lord and Master
Jesus Christ and his Followers) and came in again, and said
unto us, You must depart every Man Home, for here must
be no Meeting, and that he had Order from the higher
Powers ; but we having a more weighty Matter upon our
Spirits, even to wait upon the Lord, and mind his operating,
holy, quickning Power in our Hearts, gave no Answer,
whether we would depart or not, for if we would not, he
said, it should be worse for us, still threatning us with his
Order from the higher Power ; but we minded that Power
that is higher than the highest, to whom every Soul is to be
subjected : Now, after some Time I answered. We are not
careful to answer thee in this Matter, even as the Servants
of the Lord said to Nebuchadnezzar, for, said I, our Religion
stands not, nor is upheld by any Earthly Power or Mortal
Man, but in the Power of God ; neither shall any be ever
able to hinder the great Work which God hath begun, and
is carrying on in the Hearts of his People. Then he said, I
must go along with him before Capt. Lea. I demanded his
Warrant, he said. If I would go forth with him I should see
it ; but I refused to go till I saw his Power ; then he pulled
out a Paper and gave it me to read, and having read it over
and considered the Matter contained in it, and saw it signed
152
THE HISTORY OF ANTIGUA.
Paul Lea, my Soul was grieved, and a Pity rose in my Heai-t
towards thee, and as I was pondering the Warrant and the
several Matters contained in it, and the several false
Accusations therein, and the many grievous Things laid
to our Charge, it came into my Heart, the Scriptures are
fulfilled, for the Proud are called happy, and they that work
Wickedness are set up, and he that departeth from Iniquity
maketh himself a Prey, and thus it was in that Day, when
the Lord's People met together often, and spake one to
another, and a Book of Remembrance was written for them
that feared the Lord, and thought upon his Name. And
now having fully considered this Thing, and taken a full
View in my Spirit of the Design that was laid, it came into
my Heart from the Lord, What will Dust and Ashes do ?
Will this Man contend with his Maker ? Will he go about
to hinder the Work of God ? Surely he shall not be able
to accomplish his Design, for, said I, in my Heart, if he
could stop the Wind from blowing, or the Sun from shining,
or the Sea from ebbing and flowing, then may be bring to
pass these Things, but as he cannot do the one, so he shall
never be able to accomplish the other, for it's a Work God
himself hath begun in the Hearts of the Sons and Daughters
of Men, and is carrying it on by his mighty Power, and by
his outstretched Arm, and it prospers among his faithful ones,
who are willing to take up his Cross, and despise the Shame,
and follow him, who is leading out of all barren Professions,
and lifeless empty Forms, into the Power and Life of
Godliness ; and of a certain Truth we know, and that from
the Lord God, that no Weapon formed against us shall
prosper, and every Tongue that rises up against us will the
Lord condemn ; for the Tongue of the Egyptian Sea is drying
up apace, for the Ransomed of the Lord to pass safely on
their Way to the promised Land. And now. Friend, I cannot
but in God's Fear warn thee to take Heed what thou dost
in this Matter, for it's safer for thee to take the Counsel of
wise Gamaliel to the persecuting Jews, than to be forward
and hasty in a Matter of so great a Moment as this is. Now
consider seriously, whether the Cari-iage of these Men towards
us were not rather Heathenish than becoming true Christians,
for Men to lie iu wait in the Woods with Guns and Swords,
and then beiug called, to come rushing in upon us, more like
Beasts of Prey than meer mortal Men. Surely these Actions
will be a Disparagement to your Priests and Profession,
rather than a Credit ; for I am sure the Devil had much
more Work done that Day, for many Oaths were sworn, and
much filthy Communication, to the Dishonour of God, and
the Grief of us his People, while we were still and quiet.
The rude Hanlings, Threatniugs to be beaten, and false
Accusations laid to our Charge, would take up more Time
to particularize than I intend at present, my Purpose being
only to put thee in mind of the Danger that will follow all
that seek to hinder us from worshipping our God in the
Spirit and in the Truth, for God is not worshipped in Tem-
ples made with Men's Hands, though it were as Jerusalem
and Samaria, for the Lord's People are a spiritual People,
and in his Spirit they worship him, and the natural Man
discerns not the Things of God, therefore we cannot beg or
intreat any Man's Liberty to worship God, for it is not Man's
Work to prescribe a Way of Worship for any, but it is the
Work of the Spirit of the Lord alone that leads to the
Spiritual Worship, and is acceptable in the Sight of God ;
therefore in true Love I warn and exhort thee to take heed
of abusing the Power, and turn not the Edge of the Sword,
that is put into thy Hand for punishing the Evil-doer, against
him that put it there, lest thou be laid by as not fit for the
Service of God, for it is a sad Thing to see the Lmocent
afflicted, and open Prophaneness and Ungodliness so abound
in the Streets and pnblick Places, so that a great Crop of
Uncleanness may be gathered. And now. Friend, I have
heard that there hath been some Discourse between my
Friend Edmund Hull and thee, and that thou has promised
to appoint a Meeting to discourse of the Principles of Religion,
which if thou be as good as thy Word, will be a very fair
Way of Dealing, but I hope thou wilt be more punctual
than Priest William Jones, who writ me a Paper, and
promised a Meeting, but performed it not, neither answered
my Paper sent him, though some Months past, which
seems to reflect upon him. Much might be said to thy
Warrant, and the many hard Things contained therein,
but shall refer that till the Meeting, for indeed it is not
strange to me to be hated of all Men ; yea, they that have
killed our Bodies, and plundered our Estates, have thought
that they have done God good Service, but it is safe for
thee, and for all, to mind the Light of Christ Jesus in the
Conscience, with which all Men coming into the World are
enlightened, and then thou wilt take the good Husbandman's
Advice, to let the Tares and Wheat grow together until the
great Harvest, at which Time each shall have its Portion,
the Tares for the Fire, the Wheat gathered into the Barn.
Thus I have, in the Innocency of my Heart, cleared my
Conscience of what hath for some Time laid upon my Spirit,
and am a Friend and Lover of thy immortal Soul.

The solemn Declaration of Anne Langford, Wife of
Jonas Langford the Elder of the Island aforesaid, Planter ;
made and taken before the Honourable John Yeamans,
Esq., Lieutenant-Governor of this Island, by holding up her
Hand, in Testimony of the Truth of what she doth herein
after declare, being one of those call'd Quakers.
The said Anne Langford doth hereby declare and say,
that she hath been acquainted with the General, Colonel
Daniel Parke, Governor in Chief of the Queen's Carribbee
Leeward Islands, for the Space of three Years and upwards,
and that during that Time the said General, Colonel Parke,
fi-equently visited her Husband, and came to his House once
in a Week or ten Days for the most Part of the Time that
he resided upon this Island, until about the Space of seven
Months last past ; and the said Anne Langford doth also
declare and say, that he the said Colonel Parke hath not
been but once, during the said seven Months last past, to
visit her said Husband, or came to his House in that Time ;
and according to what the said Colonel Parke told her, she
verily believes that the said Colonel Parke, during that
Time, did refrain coming thither so often as he used to do,
by Reason that one Catharine Chester, wife of Edward
Chester, the Elder, of this Island, Merchant, hath resided
and lived at her, the said Anne Langford's, Husband's
House, for about the said Space of seven Months last past ;
and for Fear of giving any Occasion of Jealousy to the said
Edward Chester, who, about the said Space of seven Months
ago, had turn'd his said Wife out of Doors : And the said
Anne Langford doth also declare and say, that the said
Catharine Chester hath not gone abroad from her, the said
Anne Langford's, Husband's House but twice during the
said Time that she resided and lived there, and that was
only to another Plantation of the said Jonas Langford's,
when she, the said Anne Langford, and a Daughter in Law
of her's, called Mary Langford, went both Times with the
said Catharine Chester to the said other Plantation ; and
that the said Colonel Parke was not at all in her Company,
during either of the said Times that she was at the said
other Plantation : and the said Anne Langford doth also
declare and say, that the said Catharine Chester doth still
reside and live at her, the said Anne Langford's Husband's
House ; and that during the said Time that she hath lived
there, the said Colonel Parke hath been but once there,
wJiich was about a Fortnight ago, and that he was not then
at all alone with the said Catharine Chester ; but that she,
the said Anne Langford, and one Mary Draper, were all the
while in the Room then with the said Colonel Parke and
Catharine Chester, when he, the said Colonel Parke, was last
at her, the said Anne Langford's, Husband's House, as
aforesaid : And the said Anne Langford doth also farther
declare and say, that when the said Colonel Parke came to
her said Husband's House, about a Fortnight ago, as afore-
said, he told her said Husband, that he came to take his
leave of him, because he intended to go to Leeward in a
short Time, or to that Effect : And the said Anne Langford
doth farther declare and say, that she having understood,
by a Note from the said Katharine Chester, that her Hus-
band had used her ill, and turned her out of Doors, but that
he was willing to pay for her Board somewhere in the
Country, she, the said Anne Langford, thereupon sent for
the said Catharine Chester to come and reside with her : And
the said Anne Langford doth farther declare and say, she
hath been credibly inform'd that when the said Edward
Chester turn'd his Wife out of Doors, she went directly to
the House of John Hows, Merchant, in the To^vn of St.
John's, and that she continu'd there until the very Day
that she came to reside at her, the said Anne Langford's,
House, as aforesaid, which was two Days after ; and in
some short Time after that, the said Edward Chester came
to her, the said Anne Langford's, House, and asked if he I
VOL. II.
might see his Wife ; whereupon she, the said Anne Lang-
ford, told him that if his wife pleas'd he might, or to that
Effect ; and thereupon she, the said Anne Langford, went
up to his wife, and told her that her Husband was below
Stairs and desir'd to see her ; but his said Wife desir'd her
not to press her, or use any Arguments with her to see him ;
for that she had before desir'd and entreated him not to
turn her out of Doors ; and that the next Morning after he
had turn'd her out of Doors, she had sent the said John
Hows's Wife to her Husband Chester to desire him to let her
come Home ; but that the said Hows's Wife brought her
Word again that she should never live with him and never
see him again, or to that Effect : And thereupon she, the said
Anne Langford, went down to the said Edward Chester, and
told him what his Wife had said to the Effect last before-
mention'd, which the said Edward Chester then own'd to
be true, in the Presence of her said Daughter-in-Law
Mary Langford ; and farther the said Anne Langford
saith not.

Brebner and his heirs .... and Stephen Lavington hath
also agreed to assign to .James Brebner all sugars and rum
.... made in this present year 1755, for his own use and
benefit .... and Jane Lavington in consideration of the
provision hath agreed to join in order to bar such right of
dower as she might claim, but not to prejudice her right to
the said £1000 currency .... and the debts owing by Stephen
Lavington in this kingdom, amounting to £2990 15s. lOd.
sterling, James Brebner hath agreed immediately to pay to
him £845 9s. 5rf., part of the £4000, to enable him
immediately to discharge a part .... Now this Indenture
witnesseth that in consideration of the premises, and for
performing the said agreement, and in consideration of
£845 9s. 5rf. paid by James Brebner .... and of 5s. by
James Gordon, Nathaniel Gilbert, and Patrick Grant ....
and in consideration of the natural love and affection
Ste])hen Lavington hath for Ann Brebner his sister ....

Petition of Elianor Corbett, widow, on behalf of her sou
John Corbet, infant. Her late husband John Corbett
purchased two plantations of the coheirs of Mr. John Ling-
ham after the said Lingham's death. Colonel Henry Pearne
got possession and still keeps them. She states that John
Lingham, Gent., was owner in fee of Blubber Valley and
Musketo Cove and died s.p. there, and his estate descended
to his three sisters and coheirs, viz. Mary Lingham, Elizabeth
Elliott, and Sarah Earle, in England, who conveyed their
title to John Corbett of London, merchant, for a valuable
consideration. After the death of Mr. John Lingham,
Colonel Henry Pearne got possession. Mr. John Corbett,
her husband, died at Nevis on his way to Antigua. She
hears Colonel Pearne is about to apply for an Act to sell,
and she opposes it. Received 5 Aug. 1701.
A letter in answer to the above is recorded, but it is not
signed (the handwriting is like Governor Codrington's).
The writer says that .Tohn Lingham was not a Gent., but a
broken factor in Barbados, and has been a footman to a
merchant, who sent him to Antigoa in an open boat. He
never had the estate in his own right, but in that of his
wife, an old woman, whom he beat and starved and forced
to convey the estate to him. He then sent her to England,
hoping the hardships of the voyage would kill her, but she
outlived him and returned to Antigoa. Mrs. Warner as heir-
at-law succeeds and enjoys the estate quietly. She settled
it on her dau. whom Colonel Pearne mamed. Warner died
from the breaking of an imposthume before the estate was
settled. Corbet was not worth a farthing. Read circa 1701.
1680. Patent for 1200 acres to Katharine Watts at the
yearly rent of an ear of Indian corn.
In the Book of Patents at St. John's is one dated 10
Nov. 1681 confirming to John Lingham, Gent., 1200 acres,
formerly K. Watts', her now husband the said Lingham.
Sold to Colonel Rowland Williams 10 Aug. 1681, and by
him sold back 13 Aug. 1681.
On 1 March 1681 a patent was granted to Captain John
Lingham for 50 acres.
Mrs. Katharine Lingham was rated on 850 acres and 73
negros in 1688. (St. Mary's Vestry Book.)

'J'he following legal document was lent me by the Rev.
W. O'Brien Hodge :—
Michael Lovell of Philadelphia in the province of Penn-
sylvania died in 1758 intestate, leaving seven children, viz',
Michael, Langford, Ebenezer, Isabella, Elizabeth, William,
aijd Mary, upon whom his freehold estate in that province
descended in equal shares, except that according to the then
law of Pennsylvania Michael as the eldest son took a double
portion. Dividing the property (for the sake of more
convenient division) into 5000 shares the proportions would
at Michael the father's death stand as follows : —
Michael . . . .1250 shares.
Langford
. 625
Ebenezer
. 625
Isabella .
. 625
Elizabeth
. 625

. 625

. 625

23 Sep. 1784. Michael died having by will (dated 6"'
September 1784, attested by three witnesses, and proved by
Thomas Oliver, Esquire, in the Prerogative Court of Canter-
bury SO"" September 1784) bequeathed his property to his
Executors in trust to sell, and after his mother's death to
divide the produce as follows, viz', One-fourth to go to his
brothers Langford, Ebenezer, and William, and his sister
Isabella, and the remaining three-fourths to his sisters
Elizabeth and Mary.
At his death therefore the sliares would stand as
follows : —
Langford
Ebenezer
Isabella
Elizabeth
William
Mary .
Note : In these calculations fractional parts of shares
are avoided, but any difference thereby made is too trifling
to be regarded.
1795. Langford Lovell died intestate, leaving two
children, Langford and Eliza, who inherited their Father's
share in equal portions.
1798. Ebenezer Lovell died intestate and unmarried,
whereupon his shares became divisible amongst his surviving
Brothers and sisters, and the children of his decea.sed
Brother Langford, they taking the share which their Father
would have taken if living.

with Christopher Hodge, Esquire) died having survived her
husband, and having by Will made in Antigua dated 2P'
August 1795, and attested by one witness, devised the
residue of her estate, both real and personal, unto her
daughters Isabella and Grace absolutely. As the heirs of
Isabella Hodge the testatrix will oonfii-m the Will the want
of a second witness is immaterial, but being dated prior to
the death of Ebenezer Lovell the Will did not operate upon
that portion of Ebenezer's original 025 shares which by
Ebenezer's death intestate had devolved upon Mrs. Hodge,
and which consequently descended to all Mrs. Hodge's
children as her heirs. It is otherwise with respect to Mrs.
Hodge's portion of the 78 shares which Ebenezer took under
Michael's will, because the direction for sale in Michael's
will operated as a conversion of them into personalty, and
Mrs. Hodge's will is sufficient to pass any personalty which
she was possessed of at the time of her death.
1799. The state of shares immediately after Mrs.
Hodge's death would therefore be as follows : —

1808. Michael Hodge died without issue and without
a will, but having verbally signified his wish that the whole
of his property should go to his widow absolutely, and the
present Mr. L. L. Hodge, and his sister Mrs. Watts and her
husband, who are the only persons interested in taking
advantage of Michael Hodge's intestacy, give up their claim
in the widow's favour.
26"' Decemb. 1808. Elizabeth Lovell died intestate
and unmarried, whereupon her shares became divisible
amongst her surviving brother and sister and the surviving
children of her deceased Brother and sister, viz',
i-th

to
William and ^"' to Mary, |^"' between Langford Lovell and
Eliza Mason, and ^"' amongst the four surviving children
of Mrs. Hodge.
19 December 1815. William Lovell died. By his will
made in Antigua dated 22'' December 1807 (but not attested
by witnesses) he appointed his sister Mary Lovell residuary
legatee and devisee, and the will is proved and recorded in
Antigua. The intentions of William Lovell being clear, it
is understood that the heirs at law will give effect to the
will in the same manner as it' it had been attested by two
witnesses, but of course the will, if duly attested, could only
operate upon the shares which W. Lovell had at the date of
it, leaving the shares which devolved upon him subsequently
by the death of his sister Elizabeth (that is, the portion of
them which is to be treated a-s real estate) to descend to his
heirs at law.

two children, viz', the said Langford Lovell Hodge the son

May 1831, made in Antigua, and attested by three witnesses,
and recorded in the said Island, devised and bequeathed
the residue of her estate, both real and personal, unto her
nephew Langftjrd Lovell Hodge absolutely. This increased
Mr. Langford Lovell Hodge's shares to 3158.
1837. Isabella Hodge, spinster, died intestate and
unmarried, and her shares became divisible between her
nephew and niece Langford Lovell Hodge and Kebecca
Watts, increasing the number of shares possessed by Mr.
Hodge to 3396, and the shares possessed by Mrs. Watts to
247.
1834. Eliza Mason died. She had intermarried with
Kender Mason, Esquire, whom she survived, and by her
will dated 5"> August 1831, and attested by two witnesses,
she bequeathed the residue of her personal estate unto her
son Henry William Mason, Esquire. But the will does not
dispose of any real estate as to which she has died intestate,
such portion of her share in the Pennsylvanian property as
is to be considered personal estate would pass to her son as
residuary legatee, but the remainder descended upon all her
children as her heirs by Pennsylvanian Law, viz', A. W.
Mason, Eliza, then the wife and now the widow of Isaac
Eeles, Esquire, Anne the wife of William Merry, Esquire,
and Mary Harriet the wife of William Lowndes, Esquire,
since deceased. Mrs. Lowndes left two infant children who
have succeeded to her share.
The State of Shares is now (1842) as follows : —

Note : Two of the Wills mentioned in the preceding
statement require some remark. The first is that of Mr.
William Lovell, which (as particularly noticed in the state-
ment of it) is defective in a point of form. But Mr. Lovell
and the children of the late ilrs. Mason, considering that
the intention of the testator was clear, came to the conclusion
that they ought not to take advantage of such an informality
to frustrate the intention of the testator, and desired the
division to proceed as if the will was free from defect.
The other Will alluded to is that of ilrs. Mary Lovell.
As mentioned in the statement she devises " the residue of
her property, both real and personal, unto her niece Grace
Hodge," and these words, if there had been nothing more,
would have undoubtedly carried her share of the Pennsyl-
vanian property, but after using the expression quoted the
will goes on, "that is to say, All and singular my dwelling-
house," etc., etc., and enumerates certain property ; and the
question arises whether by such addition, " that is to say,"
etc., etc., the bequest of the residue, which but for that
addition would have been a general one and included the
Penn.sylvanian property, is not cut down and limited to the
property enumerated to the exclusion of the Pennsylvanian
property. In the opinion of the legal advisers of Mr. Lovell
and his sister's family the latter is the proper legal con-
struction, and, if allowed to prevail, the consequence would
be to lessen the share of Mr. Hodge and to add considerably
to the shares of Mr. Lovell and of the Mason family. This
point, like the preceding one, was communicated to Mr.
Lovell, and he, being fully persuaded, not from the tenour
of the will merely but from his knowledge of the family
relations as well, that it was Mrs. Mary Lovell's intention
that whatever she had to leave should go to the Hodge
branch of the family, signifiod his intention to carry out, so
far as depended upon him, what the family believed to have
been the intention of the Testatrix ; and, the point being
subsequently reported to the respective children of Mrs.
Mason they all came to the same determination, the pre-
ceding statement has been framed in this respect.
Memorandum. We whose names are subscribed do
hereby signify our approval of and acquiescence in the pre-
ceding statement, and do assent to the sale of the land in
question to Mr. Snider at the price of five thousand dollars,
and engage to execute the conveyance to him, the draft of
which has been perused by Messrs. Law and Tindal. And
we authorize and request Mr. Langford Lovell and Mr.
Langford Lovell Hodge to make such arrangements as they
in their discretion may think fit for the completion of the
sale; the receipt of the purchase money, and the division of
it amongst us (first deducting expences), according to our
respective shares therein, as set forth or enumerated in the
column opposite our respective signatures. AVith this further
engagement in the case of Mr. Lowndes that as he is to
receive the shares of his infant children, so he shall guarantee
their concurrence and ratification of the arrangement, and
indemnify the other parties to this division, and particularly
Mr. Lovell and Jlr. Hodge, from any further claims or demands
of the said infant children relating to this estate or the
intended division. Dated the 17th September One thousand
eight hundred and forty-two.

762. "Aberdeen Doctors" in 1769. — Did a Medical
Society exist in Aberdeen twenty years before the Medical
Society was founded ? I can find no mention of such a
body in Mrs. Rodger's interesting volume, but a diploma,
dated 1769, which has recently come under my notice,
points to conjoint action on the part of the practitioners of
Aberdeen in certifying the qualifications of apprentices.
The diploma was, very naturally, supposed by its present
possessor (the great grandson of the grantee) to have
emanated from one or other of the two Aberdeen Universities,
but the five signatories do not include the Professors of
Medicine in the University and King's College (Sir Alex-
ander Gordon), or Marischal College and University (Dr.
Alexander Donaldson). The terms of the diploma follow.

you went from thence. M' Blackliech can give you a perticuler

Note. The foregoing three letters are the only ones of Henry
Lyons now preserved among the Winthrop family papers. The
other letters of which he speaks perhaps miscarried, or were subse-
quently lost. He would seem to have visited New England and to
have been well acquainted with his wife's family there. The
brothers Fitz-Johu Winthrop, of New Loudon, Conn., and Wait
Winthrop, of Boston, were sons of John Winthrop the younger,
Gov. of Conn., who was half-brother to the grandfather of Mrs.
Lyons. The Mr. Blackleach mentioned was of a well-known
Connecticut family, some of whom were concerned in trade with
the West Indies. I have no idea who " our kinsman Hodgskins "
was ; no such person is referred to in the Winthrop Papers.

THE HISTORY OF ANTIGUA.
The value has been declared at 114,l'78Z. of the personal
estate of the late Lord Lyons, Ambassador at Paris since
1867, who died on the 5th December at Norfolk House,
St. James's-square, aged 70 years. By his will dated 28th
May 1886 he bequeaths to his nephew the Duke of Norfolk
the sword, sword-belt, and epaulettes of the testator's father
Admiral Lord Lyons, his stars and ribands of the Order of
the Bath, of St. Michael, and St. George, St. Louis of
France, the Legion of Honour, the Redeemer of Greece, the
Ottoman Order of Medjidie, the portrait of King Otho,
given to him by the King when he accompanied him to
take possession of the throne of Greece, and numerous other
memorials of the late Admiral, which the testator hopes
may be kept at Arundel Castle. He bequeaths to his sister
the Baroness von Wiirzburg his mother's Common-place
Book, the family Bibles, and other specific legacies, including
such selection as she may make from his effects, not other-
wise bequeathed, to the value of 500/. ; to his nephew Lord
Edmund Bernard Talbot, and his nieces Lady Mary Adeliza,
Lady Philippa, and Lady Margaret FitzAlan Howard, and
Lady Anne Ker the remainder of his jewels, ornaments of
the person, plate, pictures, furniture, and household effects,
and, subject to an annuity of 80/. for his valet, devises and
bequeaths five-sevenths of the residue of his property in
equal shares to his said nephew Lord Edmund Talbot, who
is the acting executor of his will, and to his said nieces, and
two-sevenths to his said sister the Baroness von Wiirzburg.

the parish of St. Philip, and S. with the lands of the said
Thomas Brown .... and also of the following negro slaves
(names given 166), and also of divers cattle, etc., used on
the said plantation .... and whereas Joseph Lyons ....
on the 9th Oct. 1748 departed this life, having made his will,
dated the 2nd Oct. 1748, and died without any issue born ....
but Mary was afterwards on the 7th April 1749 delivered of
a daughter named Henrietta Amelia, who upon her birth
became entitled to the legacy of £10,000 .... and .lohn
Lyons the brother of Joseph became entitled to the several
estates charged with the legacies, etc and subject to
the dower of Mary .... and whereas Mary, at the time of
her husband's death, was in her minority, and did not attain
her age of 21 ; on the 13th July 1751, and on the death of
her husband, she became entitled to her dower of all the
estates of which he died seised .... besides the £300
sterling for mourning .... and interest at 6 per cent
and she was entitled in her own right . ... (as before) ; and
whereas after the death of Joseph Lyons, upon a petition,
preferred in a summary way to the Court of Chancery of
Antigua, in the name of Mary, then under 21, and of her
then guardian, it was on the 15th Feb. 1749 ordered by the
Court that the Ex'ors should pay for her maintenance
£300 sterling per annum till she attained to 21, the first
payment to be made the 1st April 1750, deducting thereout
£300 before paid to her .... and whereas Mary, being so
entitled before she was 21, and before she had made, or was
enabled to make, her election .... did intermarry with
Daniel Mathew, and thereupon and previous to the marriage
an Indenture of Settlement of three parts was made on the
17th May 1750 between Daniel Mathew, of the 1st part,
Rowland Frye, Samuel Frye, and William Byam (trustees
approved both by Daniel Mathew and Mary Lyons), of the
2nd part, and Mary (by the name of Mary Lyons of Antigua,
widow), of the 3rd part, by which, after reciting as herein-
before recited, it was witnessed that Daniel Mathew did
covenant with the said trustees that if the marriage took
effect the £3000 .... and all moneys due to Mary ....
(except the £10,000 to her daughter) should remain in
their names .... and whereas the marriage soon after took
effect .... and on the 13th July 1751 Mary Mathew
attained to 21 ... . and some time about the Michaelmas
Term following a Bill was exhibited to the High Court of
Chancery in England (which was afterwards amended) in the
names of Daniel Mathew and Mary his wife, Henrietta
Amelia Lyons by Daniel Mathew and Mary her mother, her
next friends, against Robert Christian, Thomas Elmes, and
Richard Boddicot, as Ex'ors of Henry Lyons, father of
LYONS FAMILY.

John Lyons, party hereto, aud against Rowland Frye as
siiryivingf acting Ex'or of George Byam, father of Mary
Mathew, and against Rowland Frye as one of the trustees of
the Marriage Settlement, and against Samuel Lyons and
Joseph Lyons, brothers of Henry Lyons the father, as two
other of his Ex'ors, and also against John Lyons, party
hereto, as residuary devisee of Joseph Lyons his brother,
deceased, and also against William Byam and Samuel Frye
as the other two trustees of the Marriage Settlement, and
against Mary Mathew, daughter of Daniel Mathew and
Mary, by whieh Bill Daniel Mathew and Mary his wife
stated aud insisted on the several claims and rights of Mary
upon the estates real and personal of her deceased husband,
and also to her proper fortune belonging to her from her
father and grandfather .... and it was prayed, among other
things, that an account might be taken of the plantations
and estates of Joseph Lyons, deceased, and that the defend-
ants his Ex'ors might admit personal assets sufficient to
answer the annuity of £300 .... and the two legacies of
£.S000 and £300 .... and also the legacy of £10,000 ....
and all other testator's debts and legacies .... and till such
account should be given Mary and Daniel Mathew might
be at liberty to suspend the election of Mary as to the
provisions of her late husband's will .... and if they
resorted to dower on the estates that the same might be set
out and allotted to her, but if she accepted her husband's
provisions she might have the full benefit thereof out of all
the fee simple and other estates real and personal .... with
interest at 6 per cent and the same be forthwith raised
and paid to her and the trustees of her Marriage Settlement
.... and she might also have the further benefit of the
plate and fui'uiture, and that what was not delivered might
be forthwith delivered to her .... and that an account
might be taken oi' the principal and interest at 6 per cent.
due to Henrietta Amelia I^yons .... and that it might be
forthwith raised, secured, and improved fur her benefit as
the Court should direct, and a proper allowance made for
her maintenance and education, as well from time past as
to come, during her minority .... and i)articularly that
Richard Boddicot should transfer such parts of Joseph
Lyons' estates as are in Great Britain to the Accountant
General .... to which Bill Rowland Frye, Samuel Frye,
Richard Boddicot, and John Lyons (the infant) put in their
respective answers .... and Richard Boddicot admitted to
have in his hands the several pieces of plate, part of the
personal estate of Henry Lyons the father, left in his hands
by the desire of Joseph Lyons .... and he offered to deliver
the same as the Court should direct .... and he submitted
to the Court whether Daniel Mathew and Mary ought not
to account to the estate of Joseph Lyons for the value of a
negro boy and girl, by him alleged to have been given to
Mary by Joseph Lyons as a present before their marriage,
and to be still in the possession of Daniel Mathew and Mary
.... and John Lyons (being then an infant) submitted
whether Daniel Mathew and Mary were entitled to any part
of the proper fortune of Mary which remained outstanding
at the death of Joseph Lyons, or whether it should not be
considered part of his personal estate .... and Rowland
Frye admitted that there was standing in his name £520
Capital South Sea Annuities Stock belonging to Mary, pur-
chased by him for her one fourth part of her father George
Byam's estate .... and that there was then standing in the
name of John Frye, junior, who was a co-Ex'or to George
Byam, and to whom Rowland Frye was also Ex'or, £1250
Capital South Sea Annuities Stock belonging to Mary, the
produce of part of her father's estate .... and he was ready
to transfer the Stock and to pay the legacy of £200 ....
as the Court should direct .... and whereas soon after the
said answers, upon a petition in the names of Daniel
Mathew and Mary his wife and Henrietta Amelia Lyons the
infant, it was on the 29th March 1753 decreed it should
be referred to j\L'. Lane, one of the masters, to consider
what was to be allowed for the maintenance of Henrietta
Amelia Lyons for time past and to come of her minority,
and whether such allowance should be paid by John Lyons
to Daniel Mathew till further order .... and it was further
ordered that Rowland Frye should forthwith transfer the
Stock .... and pay the £200 legacy, and a further sum of
£126 17s. 10(/., received by Rowland FVye for dividends
and interest of the £200 .... into the bank, with the
privity of the Accountant General .... to be laid out in
like Stock .... and whereas in pursuance of the order ....
Rowland Frye did transfer the Stock and pay the £200 and
the £126 17s. lOd., making together £326 17s. lOf^., and
the last sum was invested in the purchase of £305 17s. id.
South Sea Annuities, making altogether £2075 17s. id.
Capital Annuities Stock .... and whereas since the proceed-
ings John Lyons has attained to 21, and by an Indenture
made the 15th Oct. 1753 .... he docked and discontinued
all estates tail and remainders upon the plantations, etc.,
etc., which he claimed as heir in tail under the will of
Henry Lyons his grandfather .... and is now seised of
.... in his demesne as of fee ... . and also docked and
discontinued all estates tail and remainders in the pieces of

has been paid by Richard Boddicot into the bank with the
jirivity of the Accountant General .... to be laid out in
South Sea Annuities .... and whereas Richard Boddicot
has also delivered the pieces of plate .... weighing together
128 ozs., to Daniel Mathew .... and whereas Daniel
Mathew and Mary have agreed with John Lyons, as well in
consideration of his releasing all claims to the proper fortune
of Mary as for the other considerations hereinbefore and
after mentioned .... to accept of the £3000 sterling ....
with interest at 6 per cent, from the 9th Oct. 1749, being
one year after the death of Joseph Lyons .... in lieu of all
claims .... which they either have or might have had to any
part of the personal estate of Joseph Lyons .... and to
release all right to dower .... to John Lyons upon his
making the £300 per annum chargeable on all the plan-
tations, etc., etc and also on his paying the £3000
.... as mentioned .... and whereas John Lyons, Robert

Obituary Notices of Lord Lyons.
It was reported a few days ago that Lord Lyons had
been received into the Roman Catholic Church. We have
received the following statement as to the circumstances
attending this event : — " He spoke about the change of his
religion six weeks ago. Since then, and even before he
went regularly to attend daily mass, he was engaged in
serious religious studies. He intended, as soon as he felt he
was prepared, to be received into the Church of Rome, but
up to the time of his illness, which occurred on Monday,
November 28, he had not taken the final step. After his
seizure it is extremely doubtful to what extent he retained
consciousness ; .but the Bishop of Southwark (Dr. Butt),
with whom for some time he had had consultations, felt so
convinced of his disposition and intention that he received
him into the Church and administered to him extreme
unction." (' The Times,' 6 Dec. 1887.)
The news of the death of Lord Lyons will be received
with very great regret on both sides of the Channel, although
it can hardly be said to be unexpected after the bulletins
LYONS FAMILY.
221
which have been published during the last few days. He
died, peacefully and calmly, at the residence of his nephew,
Norfolk House, St. James's Square, yesterday morning, at
half-past eight o'clock, in the 71st year of his age. It was
arranged last evening that the interment should take place
on Saturday at Arundel in the family vault of the Dukes of
Norfolk, and the remains will be removed from Norfolk
House to Arundel Castle on Friday evening. On the day
of the fuueral a special service will be held at the Brompton
Oratory.
The Right Hon. Richard Bickerton Pemell Lyons,
G.C.B., G.C.M.G., etc., was born at Lymington, Hants, on
the 26th of April 1817 ; he was the elder son of the late
Admiral Lord Lyons, G.C.B. (better known, perhaps, by his
former name of Sir Edmund Lyons), who was for some
time representative of England at Athens, and who held the
chief command of the Mediterranean Fleet during the
Crimean War, and who was raised to the peerage as Baron
Lyons, of Christ Church, Hampshire, at its close. He was
a member of a family that was seated in the King's County,
Ireland, as far back as the reign of James I., but afterwards
settled in the Island of Antigua, in the West Indies, for four
or five generations. Admiral Lyons married, in July 1814,
Augusta Louisa, daughter of the late Captain Josias Rogers,
R.N., by whom he had a family of two sons and two
daughters. Of this marriage the distinguished nobleman
who has just died was the eldest child. His younger brother,
Captain Edmund Mowbray Lyons, a gallant naval officer,
was killed in action on the shores of the Crimea ; his younger
sister, Augusta Mary, widow of the late and mother of the
present Duke of Norfolk, died about two years ago ; his
elder sister, who survives, is married to the Baron von
Wurtzburg of Bavaria.
Lord Lyons was named after the late Admiral Sir
Richard Bickerton, who was also, we believe, his godfather.
He received his early education at Winchester School,
under Dr. Williams ; aud he passed thence to Christ Church,
Oxford, where he took his bachelor's degree in 1838.
Though he did not offer himself as a candidate for honours
in the classical or mathematical schools, he was awarded the
distinction of " an honorary fourtli " in liferis humaiuoribus.
On leaving the university Mr. Lyons was appointed a clerk
in the Foreign Office, aud in 1839 he was appointed an
unpaid .\ttache at Athens. He was placed on tiie paid
staff there in October 1844, and was transferred to Dresden
in April 1852, and thence, again, early in the following year,
to Florence. He was appointed Secretary of Legation at
Florence in 1856, and was promoted to the rank of Envoy
in the following year, so that he went through a long
apprenticeship for his future ambassadorial career. He was
sent as British Envoy to the United States in December
1858, and gained golden opinions from our brethren across
the Atlantic by his uniform courtesy and straightforward-
ness during the difficult period of the war. He was
Minister at New York when the Prince of Wales made his
first tour to Canada and the States ; and, though his Royal
Highness was actually the guest of the President at the
White House, yet it was mainly in accordance with Lord
Lyons's advice and counsel that he shaped the course of his
travels, and from that time forth a personal friendship
arose between the Prince and Lord Lyons which has been
terminated only by the death of the latter.
Returning to England after a stay in America longer
than usual with the representatives of this country. Lord
Lyons — for he had succeeded to his father's peerage and
baronetcy in 1858 — was sent in 1865 as Ambassador to
Constantinople in succession to Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer,
afterwards Lord Dalling. There his ability was fully
acknowledged, and his courtesy appreciated by the Sultan
and by all those of his Ministers with whom he was brought
into contact ; but the year or year and a half of his stay in
that great city of the East was uneventful, or, at all events,
comparatively so. It was in June 1867 that Lord Lyons
was chosen for the great distinction of the diplomatic pro-
fession, that of the representative of the Court of St. James
at Paris, a post of which one modern statesman and Pi-emier
has declared that it was far more difficult to fill satisfactorily
than even that of the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland. The
Emperor Louis Napoleon was then on fhe throne ; the
friendship between France and this country, which had once
or twice been rudely shaken, had been recently renewed, or
rather cemented, and at first it seemed as if Lord Lyons
would have an easy post. But difficulties gradually arose,
and with the year 1870 those troubles began in which the
Empire sank behind a dark cloud. Lord Lyons was a
cordial friend to M. Emile Ollivier, and was much tntsted
by the Emperor ; but he kept himself and his country free
from all complications and entanglements ; and when the
crash came, and the Government of France was removed
from Paris to the South of France, Lord Lyons accompanied
it to its new head-quarters, aud there continued to act in
such a manner as to gain the approval of the real represen-
tatives of opinion on both sides of the Channel. Through-
out the changes and chances of that troubled period Lord
Lyons remained true and loyal to each successive Minister
who was called to the head of affairs by the French nation ;
and though doubtless his personal sympathies were rather
on the side of monarchy than of democracy, he was esteemed
and honoured by the leading members of all the Cabinets of
the French Republic. The Prince of Wales has frequently
enjoyed his hospitality in the French capital, and the Queen
occasionally has seen him in passing through Paris on her
way to or from Switzerland and North Italy, recognizing in
him not only her Ambassador, but her personal friend. It
was little more than a month ago that Lord Lyons gave up
the Ambassadorship at Paris, resigning that position into
the hands of Lord Lytton as his successor. He had been
already promoted to a viscountcy by the Queen, in recognition
of his services, in 1881 ; and many years before that he had
been sworn a member of her Majesty's Privy Council. He
was made a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath,
Civil Division, in 1862, and received the Grand Cross of the
Order of St. Michael and St. George in 1879. It was
announced that he was about to be raised to an earldom
on his retirement from his diplomatic labours, but he has
died too soon to allow of that intention on the part of the
Crown to be carried into effect.
Lord Lyons was singularly quiet, retiring, and even
reticent, though always courteous and dignified, but he was
cordial with intimate friends and those whom he thoroughly
trusted. In fact he realized in many ways the idea of a
pattern and ideal diplomatist. He was a great reader of
history ; knew the contents of almost every modern despatch,
so to say, by heart ; and had in him many of the elements
of a great statesman. Had he taken an active part in the
debates of the Upper House he would have " made his
mark," but he was very diffident of his own powers, and
particularly disliked the necessity of having to speak in
public. It is no secret among his friends that he was once,
if not twice, offered the portfolio of the Foreign Office at
home, but he had found his own metier, and did not care to
change. As Ambassador at Paris he was hospitable in the
extreme. The care of the ambassadorial menage he allowed
to devolve on his private secretary, Mr. George Sheffield,
who was to him all that Lord Rowton was to Lord Beacons-
field.
As Lord Lyons was never married, his honours have died
with him, and both viscountcy, barony, and baronetcy have
become extinct. It will be long, however, before the name
of Lord Lyons passes out of the memory of his countrymen.

THE HISTORY OF ANTIGUA.
The funeral of the late Viscount Lyons took place at
Arundel on Saturday. The body was conveyed from
Norfolk House, St. .James's, on the evening previously, and
was at once taken to the Fitzalan Chapel, the burial-place
of the Dukes of Norfolk, which, with the Lady Chapel, is
within the precincts of the castle. The chapel had been
previously prepared for the ceremony. The altar and east
end had been railed off" for the sanctuary, within which
were seats for the officiating clergy. The floor was covered
and the walls hung with black cloth. The Lady Chapel,
in which the choristers were placed, was curtained off, and
at the west end of the chapel seats were provided for the
chief mourners and congregation. In the centre of the
chapel on the bier rested the coffin, which was covered by a
black velvet pall with a Latin cross embroidered in gold.
The late lord's coronet, with the ribbon and Order of the
Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath and the Grand Cross
of the Order of St. Michael and St. George, were on the
coffin. A special train started from Victoria Station at
half-past nine o'clock with many of the distinguished friends
who attended the funeral, and on arrival at Arundel they
drove to the castle, where they were received by the Duke
of Norfolk and family, and just before noon they walked in
procession to the Fitzalan Chapel. The chief mourners and
general congregation having occupied their places, the
clergy entered in procession. The Bishop of Southwark
celebrated the Requiem Mass, assisted by the Rev. W.
Cunningham, as deacon ; the Rev. F. M'Mahon, as sub-
deacon ; Canon Lalor, assistant priest ; and the Rev. J.
Haynes and Rev. J. Connelly were masters of the ceremonies.
The chief mourners were the Rev. Father von Wurtzburg,
the Duke of Norfolk, and Lord Edmund Talbot, and among
the relatives of the late peer present were the Ladies Mary,
Philippa, and Margaret Fitzalan-Howard, Lady Edmund
Talbot, Mr. and Mrs. Wilfrid Ward, and Mr. J. Hope.
The general mourners included Sir Edward ILilet, his
Excellency Count de Bylandt (Netherlands Minister), his
Excellency M. Montt (Chilian Minister), the Earl of
Limerick (Lord in Waiting to the Queen), representing her
Majesty, Major-General Sir Christopher Teesdale, represent-
ing the Prince of Wales ; Count de Florian (French Charge
d' Affaires), in the unavoidable absence of M. Waddington ;
Sir James Fergusson, M.P., representing the Government ;
Sir Julian Pauncefote, representing the Foreign Office ; the
Hon. Eric Barrington, representing the Marquis of Salis-
bury ; Sir E. Thornton, Sir Arthur J. Otway, Sir E. Monson,
Hon. Gilbert Abney-Hastings, Sir E. Henderson, Admiral
Sir G. and Lady Hornby, Mr. George Sheffield, Mr. B.
Coles, Mr. J. Hankey, Sir F. Adams, Sir P. Anderson, Hon.
Sir F. Plunkett, Mr. M. Gosselin, Major-General Bracken-
bury, Mr. F. Elliott, Viscount Molyneux and Mr. F. Carew,
secretaries and attache of the British Embassy in Paris,
Lord Foley, the Mayor and Corporation of Arundel, Mr.
Austin Lee, Mr. G. Jenner, Mr. Stewart, the Rev. Dr.
Redmond, Father Antrobus, Father Otley, Father Fletcher,
Captain Sinclair, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Bunsen, and Miss
Bunsen, Mr. Learmonth, Mr. Manners, Mr. Cleave, Mr.
Haskett Smith, Mr. E. Haskett Smith, and Mr. F. Ware.
After the Requiem Service, the Burial Service was said
round the bier, and the corpse was deposited in the family
vault, which is underneath the centre of the chapel. A
great number of wreaths were sent, and had been placed
temporarily against one of the tombs in the chapel, and

younger of London his attornies to sell or let the same ;
thereupon two of them, Papists, in June 1702 leased Golden
Grove to petitioner for 99 years at £100 a year, and
petitioner has spent £300 on it. By an Act passed at Nevis
April 1702 no Papists can act as attornies. Ill designing
people threaten to turn out f)etitioner. Read 16 March
1702-3. Their lordships order that petitioner be confirmed
in his estate. (B. T. Leeward Islands, veil. 47, p. 143.)
Governor Parke writes on 3 Nov. 1708 : " There is one
Daniel Mackenin, that twenty years ago was chyrurgeon to
A Little Merchant ship, has drove off the Island neer a
hundred Men ; all the Land where he lives was inhabited
by poor people that lived upon some three, some five, & some
ten Acres of land." (B. T. Leeward Islands, vol. 11.)
1712, Sep. 5. The Governor has sent Dr. McKenin and
Colonel Watkius over to England to answer their accusations
in spite of the pardon published.
George French, in his ' Answer to a Libel,' etc., published
in 1718, says: "Daniel Mackennen, a Scots Apothecary,
who laid the Foundation of a large Fortune he acquired on
a corrupt unwarrantable Practice in Physick, whereby he
became Heir, Executor, and Administrator, to the unfor-
tunate Wix'tches fall'n into his Hands ; and afterwards
eminent for depopulating the Island, by driving off a great
many poor Families, to enlarge his ill got Possessions, in
Revenge for his not being admitted of the Council, and
resentment of Thomas's Disappointment, who was his
Brother-in-Law, combines with the Disaffected, and makes
himself a Leader of the Faction. This man was violently
suspected to have poison'd Sir William Mathews, Colonel
Parke's Predecessor, (with whom they began to quarrel)
who dy'd in the operation of a Dose of Physick of his
Prescription and Preparation." Governor Douglas sent
him home prisoner with Samuel Watkins, for participation
in Governor Parke's murder, and on their arrival they were
imprisoned in Newgate, but subsequently obtained their
discharge pleading the general pardon.
1724, Aug. 3. William Mackinen is given six months
leave of absence to go to Boston for his health. He had on
the previous 23rd Jan. 1723 been elected Member of
Assembly for Dickenson's Bay.
By Indenture {circa 1725), EHzabeth McKenin, widow

was conferred on him in America, voted by the Corporation
of the University, without his solicitation or kuowledge.

THE HISTORY OF ANTIGUA.
Callaghan McCarthy, Esq., iu his will dated 2 June
1792 mentions his plantation called Golden Grove purchased
of "William Mackinen, Esq.
1792, Aug. At Chiswick, Major John M'^Kinnon, of
the 63d regiment, to Lady Margaret Affleck, widow of the
late Admiral Affleck. ('Gent. Mag.,' p. 765.)
William Mackinnen, jun., Esq., was appointed by Presi-
dent Stanley to a seat in the Council, and took the oath
9 Oct. 1793.
In a list of the Council in 1791 Hon. William Mac-
kinnen, jun., was stated to be dead.
President J. Stanley wrote in 1794 : "M'' Mackinen, a
Member of the Council of this Island, died upon his passage
to England, in June last."
William Mackinnon wrote from Exeter 14 March 1798
saying that he did not intend to return to Antigua, and
vacated his seat.
Miss Penelope Tomlinson by her will dated 18 July 1802
bequeathed £800 to be divided among Samuel McKinnen,
Charles Mackinnen, Thomas Mackinnen, and Lydia Hanen,
children of Charles Mackinnen.
On 8 March 1811 the following arms, etc., were con-
firmed and assigned to William Alexander Mackinnon, and
duly recorded in the Lyon Office, viz. : — Quarterly : 1, A
hoar's head erased argent, holding in its mouth the shank-
lone of a deer proper (McKinnon) ; 2, Azure, a castle t7-iple-
towered and embattled argent, masoned sable, windoivs and
portcullis gules (McLeod) ; 3, Or, a lymphad or galley her
oars saltyrways sable (McDonald) ; 4, Argent, a dexter
hand cowped proper fessways, holding a cross-crosslet fitchee
sable (McDonald).
Crest : A boar's head erased, holding in its mouth the
shank of a deer, all proper ; and as Chief of McKinnon/w
stipporters, on the dexter side a lion and on the sinister a
leopard, both 'proper.
1812, Jan. 19. Fell gloriously on the breach of Ciudad
Rodrigo Major-gen. M'^Kinnon. He was descended from
one of the most antient families in Scotland ; being a
younger sou of the late W. M'^Kiunon, esq. who was the
representative of the younger branch of the Lairds of
M'^Kinnon, which branch became the elder about two years
ago, by the extinction of the other. At an early age he
entered the Coldstream guards ; and served his first cam-
paign under the Duke of York in Holland. During the
rebellion in Ireland, he was Brigade-major to Gen. Sir G.
Nugent, where he was remarkable for his courage, humanity,
and good conduct. The Gazette of that time particularly
notices him. He served in the expedition to Egypt. In
the year 1805, he served with his regiment in Germany,
under Lord Cathcart ; as well as at the taking of Copen-
hagen, in 1807. He again embarked at the end of 1808
for the Peninsula ; where an action was fought under Lord
Wellington, in which his name was mentioned with the
highest praise in the dispatches. The General married in
1804, the youngest daughter of the late Sir J. Colt, hart.
who is left, with two infants. After the fall of Ciudad
Eodrigo, the body of Major-gen. M'^Kinnon was found, and
with difficulty recognized ; and his regiment shewed all the
respect possible to the remains of so brave and meritorious
an officer. (' Gent. Mag.,' p. 190.)
1812, June. Lately At Bath, the widow of Major-gen.
Mackinnon (who was killed on the breach of Ciudad

Palmer, esq. of Rush and Palmcrstown, co. Mayo, who died
in 1811 ; and was left a widow in 1815 by her setting her
clothes on fire from a candle. She has left an only
daughter, the wife of W. A. Mackinnon, esq. M.P. for
Lymington, but her valuable estate iu the county of Mayo,
worth 30,000Z. a-year, and a large estate in the county of
Dublin, have devolved on Sir William H. Palmer, Bart, of
Castle Lackin, co. Mayo. {Ibid., p. 574.)
1835, Nov. 15. Aged 43, Emma-Mary, wife of W. A.
Mackinnon, esq. of Newtown Park, M.P. for Lymington.
She was the only dan. and sole heiress of Joseph Budworth
Palmer, esq. of Rushhome (?), co. Dublin, and Palmerston,
CO. Mayo ; was married in 1812, and was the mother of six
children. At the time of her marriage she was considered
one of the handsomest women and one of the greatest
heiresses in the Kingdom. A. biographical account of her
father is given in the Gentleman's Magazine for Dec. 1815.
{Ibid., p. 6G3.)
1836, June 22. In Hertford-street, May Fair, aged 46,
Colonel Daniel Mackinnon, Lieut.-Colouel in command of
the Coldstream Guards. Colonel Mackinnon was the second
son of the late Wm. Mackinnon, the Chief of a very old and
numerous clan in the Highlands of Scotland ; and nephew
to General Mackinnon who lost his life in storming Ciudad
Rodrigo, and who was also in the Coldstream Guards ....
About ten years ago. Colonel Mackinnon married Miss
Dent, the daughcer of John Dent, Esq. M.P. for Poole.
He has left no family except his widow. Colonel Mac-
kinnon's mother is now living, and resides with the Colonel's

William Alexander Mackinnon of Mackinnon, Chief of
the Clan Mackinnon, in the western Highlands of Scotland,
MACKINEN FAMILY.
229
and late M.P. for Rye, died on tlie oOtli ult. He was bom
Aug. 2, 1789, the elder son of William Mackinnon, Esq.,
and brother of Colonel Daniel Maukmnon, the historian of
the Coldstream Guards. He first entered Parliament, for
Dunwich, in 1830, and sat subsequently for Lymington for
about twenty years, and for Rye nearly twelve. During
this long Parliamentary career, Mr. Mackinnon was an
active and painstaking member, and was instrumental in
carrying several useful measures.
He was also known as an author, having published a
work on ' Public Opinion,' ' Thoughts on the Currency
Question,' and ' The History of Civilisation.' He married
Aug. 3, 1812, Emma Mary, sole daughter and heiress of
Joseph Palmer, Esq., of Rush House, in the county of
Dublin, and Palmerstown, iu the county of Mayo, through
whom he derived a great personal fortune, and by whom
(who died in 1835) he had three sons and three daughters.
Of the latter, the eldest Emma Mary, is married to the
Due de Grammont ; and the second, Louisa Harriet is the
present Countess of Dundonald. The sons were William
Alexander, late M.P. for Lymington ; Lauchlan-Bellingham,
Captain R.N. ; and Daniel Lionel, Colonel, Coldstream
Guards, who was killed at Itikerman. The late Mr. Mac-
kinnon became, by purchase, the possessor of Belvidere near
Broadstairs ; and of Acrise Place, near Maidstone, previously
the seat of the family of Papillon. (' Illustrated London
News,' p. 539, 21 May 1870.)
Marriage of Mr. F. F. Ramsden and Miss Mac-
kinnon.— Mr. Frederick F. Ramsden, only son of the Rev.
F. J. Ramsden, of Conisboro Priory, Rotherham, was last
week married to Miss Selina Mackinnon, daughter of the
late Captain Edmund Mackinnon (2nd Life Guards), of
Binfield, Berks, at All Saints, Margaret Street. Mr. Philip
Herringham attended the bridegroom as best man, and
there were five bridesmaids in attendance on the bride, who
was attired in rich white satin, trimmed with old Brussels
lace, and a tulle veil fastened with a pearl star. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev. John Trebeck, Canon
of Southall, Notts, assisted by the Rev. Donald D. Mac-
kinnon, Rector of Speldhurst. A reception was afterwards
held at Grant's Hotel, Manchester Street, and early in the
afternoon the bride and bridegroom left en mite for Paris.
The wedding presents included : — From the bridegroom to
the bride, diamond and raby ring ; bride to bridegi'oom,
diamond horseshoe pin ; Earl and Countess of Lindsey,
clock ; Mrs. Ramsden, carriage ; Mr. Frank Ramsden,
silver tea caddy ; Mr. R. Mackinnon, silver plated soup
tureen ; Miss R. Mackinnon, silver and glass claret jug ;
Miss M. Mackinnon, diamond ring ; Misses Ramsden,
breakfast service ; Captain Boultbee, silver candlesticks ;
Captain and Mrs. Henniker, silver egg boiler ; Miss Henri-
etta Boultbee, dinner service, Crown Derby tea service, and
mother of pearl and silver card case ; Mrs. Doyle, coflfee
and liqueur service ; Miss Hawkins, tea and coffee service ;
Mr. Alan Mackinnon, antique silver tea spoons ; Mr. and
Mrs. West, silver and gold dessert spoons ; Rev. V. and
Mrs. Fortesque, silver salt cellars ; General Mackinnon,
opera glasses. (' Reading Mercury,' 7 Oct. 1893.)
In the ' Memoirs of Clan Fingon,' by Rev. Donald D.
Mackinnon, M.A., it is claimed (but not proved) that
Dr. Daniel Mackinen of Antigua was identical with Donald
the 2nd son of Lachlan Mhore the 28th Chief. The author
therein states that Donald was an infant in 1651, when the
Battle of Worcester was fought. Dr. Daniel Mackinen on
the other hand died 26 March 1720, aged 62, and was
therefore born about 1658. It is also stated that Dr.
Daniel Mackinen emigrated to Antigua between 1678 and
1688 and perhaps received grants of estates called Dropes,
Golden Grove, and Dickenson's Bay from Charles II.
I have in my possession an original deed by which it
appears that Golden Grove Plantation was held in 1687-8
by Colonel Edward Powell, Governor of Antigua, and from
him it descended and was confirmed in 1716 to his nephew
and heir-at-law Henry Powell. It was leased in 1702 to
Dr. Daniel Mackinen for 99 years. The record of Govern-
ment grants shews that in 1695 Mackinen received his
patent for various purchases of land he had previously made.
Again the tomb of Daniel Mackinen the Surgeon is in
perfect order, and on the ledger is cut Jiis coat of arms :
. ... on a bend .... three mullets .... These are not the
arms of the Clan Fingon, and I have not been able to trace
their origin. It would perhaps be possible to clear up these
doubts if it were known where Daniel McKinen the Surgeon
was educated and received his diploma.

DEATH OF CARDINAL MANNING.
We regret to announce that Cardinal Manning died at
his residence, the Archbishop's House, Westminster, at
twenty minutes past eight o'clock this morning. The
Cardinal had been confined to his house by an attack of
bronchitis since Thursday of last week. It was not, how-
ever, until four days ago that he took to his bed. After
this his Eminence grew gradually weaker, and the bulletins
issued liist night had prepared the public for the worst
* Manning and Vaughan were at one time partners.

news. In the early hours of this morniDg his strength
began to fail rapidly, but he was able to join in the prayers
that were said for him until he became unconscious at half-
past seven. He passed away without any pain.
Sketch of his Career.
His Eminence, Henry Edward, Cardinal Manning, was
a son of the late Mr. William Manning, M.P., merchant, of
London, and was born at Totteridge, Hertfordshire, July 15,
1808. He was educated at Harrow and Balliol College,
Oxford, where he graduated in first-class honours in 1830,
and became Fellow of Merton College. He was for some
time one of the select preachers in the University of Oxford,
was appointed rector of Lavington and Graffham, Sussex,
1834, and Archdeacon of Chichester in 1840. In 1851,
three years after the decision in the famous Gorham case,
the result of which was highly repugnant to him, he joined
the Eoman Catholic Church, in which he entered the priest-
hood, and in 1857 founded an ecclesiastical congregation at
Bayswater, entitled the Oblates of St. Charles Borromeo.
The degree of D.D. was conferred upon him at Rome, and
the office of Provost of the Catholic Archdiocese of West-
minster, Prothonotary Apostolic, and Domestic Prelate to
the Pope. After the death of Cardinal Wiseman, Monsignor
Manning was consecrated Archbishop of AVestminster,
June 8, 1SC5. Pope Pius IX. created him a Cardinal
Priest, March 15, 1875, the title assigned to him being
that of SS. Andrew and Gregory on the Coelian Hill.
Dr. Manning wrote four volumes of sermons and other
works before 1850 ; since that date a large number of
works have proceeded from his pen, chiefly upon doctrinal
questions or subjects relating to the position of the Eoman
Catholic Church in England. Cardinal Manning was a
member of the Royal Commission on the Housing of the
Working Classes which sat in 1884 — 85 under the presidency
of the Prince of Wales. The Cardinal was also a member
of the Education Commission of 1886. He was a member
of two famous Mansion House Committees — one connected
with the proceedings of Mr. Stead, the other being that
which sat in 1889 for the purpose of settling the great dock
strike. The celebration of the Cardinal's episcopal jubilee
took place on Sunday, the 8th of June 1890. ('The St.
James's Gazette,' 14 Jan. 1892.)

Close Eoll, 2 Will. IV., Part 17, No. 3.
Indenture made the 21st Sep. 1831 between Charles
Cutten of Quality Court, Chancery Lane, Gentleman, of the
1st part, Robert George Cecil Fane, Robert Belt, and
William Brent Brent, Esquires (the major part of the

forth against William Manning, Frederick Manning, and
John Lavicount Anderdon of New Bank Buildings in the

2nd part, and Nevill Reid of Suffolk Lane and John Dixon
of Fenchurch Street in the city of London, merchants, and
Richard Wrangham of New Bank Buildings, Gentleman, of
the 3rd part. Whereas H.M.'s Commission under the Great
Seal of Great Britain, grounded upon the Statute made and
now in force concerning bankrupts, bearing date at West-
minster the oth of this instant month of September, hath
been issued against the said William Manning, Frederick
Manning, and John Lavicount Anderdon, directed to George
Daniel Harvey and George Roots, Esquires, and the said
Robert George Cecil Fane, Robert Belt, and William Brent
Brent, Commissioners ; and whereas it appeared that the
said William Manning, Frederick Manning, and John Lavi-
count Anderdon had carried on the trade and business of a
West India merchant in partnership together, and became
indebted to Edward Bedwell Kemble and Thomas Nash
Kemble of Mincing Lane, London, brokers and partners, in

William and Frederick Manning and John Lavicount
Anderdon were possessed of sundry goods, merchandizes,
household stuff, plate, linen, and other things, and that
there were also divers debts due to them from several
persons, and therefore the said Commissioners thought it
necessary for the better preserving the said estate .... to
appoint provisionally Charles Cutten assignee of the estate
and effects .... and Charles Cutten did thereby covenant
with the said Commissioners that he and his Ex'ors ....
would, as soon as the assignee should be duly appointed,
join with the major part of the Commissioners in assigning

said recited Indenture assigned to him unto them. And
whereas at a meeting of the major part of the Commissioners
held at their Court in Basinghall Street, on the day of the
date of these presents, pursuant to notice in the London
Gazette, the major part in value of the creditors present
chose the said several persons, parties, hereto, of the 3rd
part, to be assignees of the estate and effects, and desired an
assignment thereof to be made to them accordingly by
Charles Cutten and the Commissioners ; and whereas the
Commissioners, parties to these presents, in further execution
do find that William and Frederick Manning and John
Lavicount Anderdon or some of them, at the time they
became bankrupts, were possessed of certain freehold and
leasehold plantations in the several islands of Antigua,
Montserrat, St. Christopher's, Nevis, Trinidad, and St.
Croix or elsewhere in the West Indies, and also certain
negro and other slaves, cattle, live and dead stock, and other
chattels and effects of a personal nature, or estates, and also
certain debts due to them by persons residing in the West
Indies, subject as to the plantations, slaves, and cattle, to
certain mortgages, etc., thereon. Now this Indenture wit-
nesseth that in pursuance and part performance of the
covenant of Charles Cutten, and in consideration of IDs.
each, paid to him and the Commissioners by the said several

hereby expressly declared that the said several persons of

Death of Adiiieal Sir W. F. Martin. — We regret
to announce the death of Admiral Sir William Fanshawe
Martin, Bart., G.C.B., which occurred on Sunday, 24 March
1895, at his residence, Upton Grey House, Winchfield. He
was born in 1801, entered the Navy in 1813, and was
midshipman of the "Akbar" in the Scheldt in 1815, and
of the " Alceste " in Lord Amherst's Embassy to China,
and was wrecked in the latter vessel. In 1823, when Com-
mander of the " Fly," he rendered important services to
British interests at Callao. From 1849 to 1852 he com-
manded the Channel Squadron, and from 1853 to 1858 was
Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard. He was then
appointed a Lord Commissioner of the Admiralty, and was
in succession Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean
and at Devonport. From 1851 to 1853 he was Naval
Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, and was made a G.C.B. in
1873. Sir W. Fanshawe Martin was twice married — first
in 1826 to Anne, daughter of the first Lord Wynford (she
died in 1836), and secondly in 1838 to the second daughter
of Mr. Richard Hurt of Wirksworth, Derbyshire (she died
in 1874). The title devolves upon his son Richard Byam
Martin. The funeral took place at Upton Grey Church on

Chelsea. Hi the old burial-ground : — Near the centre is
an obelisk, erected to the memory of Andrew Millai-, an
eminent bookseller in London, who died in 1768, aged 61
years. Andrew Millar was literally the artificer of his own
fortune. By consummate industry, and a happy train of
successive patronage and connection, he became one of the
most eminent booksellers of the eighteenth century. He
had little pretensions to learning, but had a thorough
knowledge of mankind ; and a nice discrimination in
selecting his literary counsellors. He was not extravagant,
but contented himself with an occasional regale of humble
port, at an opposite Tavern, so that his wealth accumulated
rapidly ; he had three children, who all died in their infancy.
On the north side is an inscription to the memory of his
three children, viz., Andrew Millar, who died in 1730 ;
Robert Mifiar, 1736 ; and Elizabeth Millar, 1740 ; likewise
Dame Grant, who died 1788, widow of Andrew Millar, who
afterwards married Sir Archibald Grant, Bart. M'' Millar
purchased the vault in 1751. (Faulkner's ' History of
Chelsea,' p. 38.)
1766, Sep. 8. Capt. Arch. Millar, of the Royal Navy.
('Gent. Mag.,' p. 43U.)
1768, June 8. And. Millar, late an eminent Bookseller.
(Ibid., p. 803.)
In Burke's ' Colonial Gentry,' vol. i., p. 137, it is stated
that Mathew Miller of Millerstone, Paisley, Renfrewshire,
had a son Mathew of the same place, who was father of
Mathew of the same place, whose son Mathew of the same
place married, 1780, Catherine Moir, and died 1820 leaving
a son who died in New Zealand in 1885, aged 83.

In 1767 Valentine Morris was rated on 1004 acres and
284 slaves ; in 1780 on 451 acres and 196 slaves. (St.
Mary's Vestry Book.)
Valentine Morris, jun., inherited from his father a large
fortune, which he dissipated in extravagant living, and
becoming involved in debt his friends obtained for him in
1772 the post of Lieut.-Governor of St. Vincent, of which
island he became Governor four years later. After the
capture of that colony iu 1779, by the French, with a vastly
superior force. Governor Morris returned to England, where
he prosecuted various claims against the Government for
sums advanced by him for the public service. He lan-
guished six or seven years in the King's Bench prison,
during which time his charming wife, a niece of the old
Lord Peterborough, became insane from misery and distress.
Some three years before his death his friends obtained his
liberty, and he died 26 Aug. 1789 at the house of his
brother-in-law Mr. Henry Wilmot in Bloomsbury Square.
For further details see ' A Narrative of the Official Conduct
of Valentine Morris, Esq., late Capt.-General and Governor-
in-Chief of St. Vincent, written by himself 1787,' and a
long obituary notice, p. 862, 1789, in the ' Gent. Mag.'
He wrote in his Narrative : " Two of my valuable estates
in Antigua were taken possession of by the Assignees of a
Mortgage for the whole nominal sum of the original mort-
gage. Another very considerable estate in that Island, the
seat of my nativity & that of all my remaining family, has
been forced to sale under every possible disadvantage for
little more than £13,000, which on the most accurate
estimates had frequently been valued at £22,000 St., &
often at favourable epochs nearly to £80,000. My valuable
& beautiful well known estate at Piercefield, in Monmouth-
shire, descending to me from my father, & for so many years
the subject of my creative attention .... was at length
forced to sale for £26,100, for which at former periods ....
£46,000, £47,000, £48,000, & once £52,000 had been
offered."
1796—1818. St. Peter's, Parham. The estate of
Valentine Morris, deceased, rated.
1823, July 23. In Sloane-street, the wife of Valentine
Morris, esq. a dan. (' Gent. Mag.,' p. 176.)
1842, Nov. 15. At Eling, Hants, Richard William
Morris, esq. second son of Valentine Morris, esq. of Batter-
sea, to Caroline-Stratton, youngest dan. of the late John
Saunders, esq. of Downs House. {Ibid., p. 86, 1843.)
" Another, and more interesting sitter to Sir Joshua, was
the Ijeautiful Miss Morris, who sat for one of his loveliest
creations, 'Hope nursing Love' (see illustration, p. 19).
It was exhibited at the first exhibition of the Royal
Academy, 1769. The picture, which is in the Bowood
Gallery, has kept its colour better than almost any of Sir
Joshua's. It was exhibited at the collection of Old Masters
two years ago, and charmed all who saw it. Three repetitions
were made of it, one for Lord Lansdowne, another in the
possession of Mr. Hope ; the third was sold at Lady
Thomond's sale for 220 guineas. The story of the young
lady who sat for this beautiful picture is somewhat pathetic.
She was the daughter of Mr. Valentine Morris, governor of
one of the West Indian Islands. On his death his widow,
with her four children, came to England in great poverty,
and Sir Joshua, who had known them in better days, took
the liveliest interest in the family. It was thought that if
she adopted the stage as a profession her beauty and grace
might ensure her success. When through Sir Joshua's
interest she appeared at Covent Garden in November, 1768,
as Juliet, her friends mustered in great force to support her
through the ordeal. Sir Joshua was there, and Johnson
and Goldsmith between the Jessaray Bride and Little
Comedy, but even their friendly faces could not inspire the
poor girl with any courage. She could not utter a word,
and was obliged to retreat ignominiously. No entreaties
could induce her to appear again. Her failure, however,
preyed upon her, and she died soon after of rapid con-
sumption." ('Art Journal,' 1892, p. 22.)

NiHELLS OF Trinidad.
In 1780 on the records of the Cabildo appears an Auto
or Act empowering the Alcalde of the first Election to go to
the French Islands and induce French and Irish settlers to
come to Trinidad. The eniigrancs were chiefly French, with
a few Irish. To each white person was granted 32 acres
with 16 acres for each slave. In the records of Trinidad
(in the Sjjauish language) there is an entry die substance of
which is that on 25 April 1786 Don .Juan Nihell, stated to
be a native of Martinique, was admitted to citizenship at
Trinidad. On 30 July 1789 he received a grant of land of
317 fannegas (1 fannega = 6 acres 3r. 25 p.), proportionate
to the number of persons free and slave which he brought
with him. In 1796, on the 18th May, he was shot at by
rioters whilst exercising magisterial functions as Alcalde of
second Election. On 1 March 1707 he was appointed by
Sir Ralph Abercrombie, Chief Magistrate, Chief Judge, and
Auditor in and over the whole Island. In 1809 he was
pensioned, and in 1810 signed a petition to the King asking
that no change should be allowed in the Colony during the
absence of General Hislop, then Governor. On 20 June
1815 he sold his pension to Dr. Lawrence Nihell. John
Nihell's name occui's in very many commercial transactions,
deeds of sale, etc., but I could not find his will, nor the
date of his death. Dr. Lawrence Nihell owned two large
estates styled " Coura " and " Eldorado," the latter close to
the capital. In some official documents he is styled " The
Hon'"^" being Member of Council. There is documentary
evidence that the Rev. Edward Nihell of London was his
brother, but no direct evidence that John was the brother
of either ; nevertheless, I think that they were all three
brothers, and identical with John, Edward, and Lawrence of
Antigua. Dr. Lawrence Nihell of Trinidad had 3 sons:
John, Lawrence, and Robert. He left Trinidad about 1818,
and died at Toulouse in 1822. In his will he is stated to
be a native of St. John (? Antigua), and late of Trinidad.
His son John predeceased him. Lawrence remained in
Trinidad, and was buried at " El Dorado," which was sold
to a man named O'Brien. I got no information about
Robert. There were several others of the name, which is
sometimes spelt " Niel." (Extracted from Joseph's ' His-
tory ' by Surgeon-General O'Nial.)

NUGENT FAMILY.
313
The following is a copy of a letter, written 18 and
27 Dec. 1844 by Major Nugent-Dunbar to his son Arthur,
about the Nugent Pedigree : —
Eoberfc Nugent, whose Irish property was principally in
the County Clare always looked upon my grandfather,
Walter as a near relation and treated his widow Antoinetta
as such whenever I saw them together, which frequently
took place in Queen Square Westminster where she kept
open house every Sunday for such friends as chose to come
uninvited either to dinner or for the evening and we
generally sat down about 12 at dinner and 20 at supper.
His lordship's only sister Mrs. Margaret Nugent,* a
spinster, who lived to 90 years of age was frequently of
these parties as well do I remember as she frequently gave
me half a crown and was kind to me in every other respect.
Kobert Nugent when a young man thought proper to
visit England in the hope of advancing himself in life, but
finding the Religion he had been bred up in (the Roman
Catholic) a complete bar to success read his Recantation,
and published a very pretty copy of verses on the occasion
acknowledging the fact of his conversion.
I never saw this publication, though I have often heard
my father quote small parts of it at different times.
I think it possible that it might be found among
Dodsley's miscellanies.
Robert having thus qualified himself became a member
of Parliament* made some very clever speeches and shortly
married Miss Craggsf the only child of one of the then
Secretaries of State adopted her name in addition to his
own, and soon inherited her father's property by the
Secretary's demise.
Having by that interest obtained the title of Baron
Clare| and my father having about this time built a house
on his estate in Antigua obtained his lordship's consent to
call it Clare Hall by which name I always heard it called
while I had connection with a hope from it.

THE HISTORY OF ANTIGUA.
Lord Arundel whose widow she now is— with two or more
children.
Lord Nugent has been married many years but is with-
out children.
I was introduced to the late Marchioness of Buckingham
as her relative, when I was only 8 years of age, upon which
occasion she acknowledged the relationship by giving me
2 guineas and which donation she constantly repeated
whenever we met until her husband the Marquis had given
me an ensigncy in the Twentieth Regiment and I have
never seen her since, though I received a very kind letter
from her inviting me to call upon her at Temple House
Pall Mall some years after I was married and sending a very
kind message to your Mother whom she styled M'^ Nugent
and this letter she sent by Sir George Nugent to insure its
safe arrival with me.
Mrs. Margaret Nugent the aged spinster who was in the
habit of giving me half crowns, was her Aunt and was
familiarly known in both families as " Aunt Peg." Biddy
Lynch mentioned in my former family sketch was very
intimate with both these ladies and received a situation as
Housekeeper or something of the sort in the Custom House
in Dublin, from the Marquis when he was Lord Lieutenant
of Ireland — but as she could not serve in that office the
Marquis allowed her to sell it by which she obtained 6 or
£800 — about the time I was introduced to the Marchioness
of Buckingham the lady Temple, her father Lord Clare was
created Earl Nugent* both being Irish titles he had not
any seat in the House of Lords but took care to obtain seats
in the Commons so as always to have some influence with
the existing Ministry.
The Title of Lord Clare has now for many years been
borne by one of the Irish Judges I believe Fitz Gibbon not
from any family connection with Lord Nugent but probably
from property in that county.
Colonel Nugent mentioned in the foregoing pages never
married at least not publickly but had two sons by a lady
of good family whose name I am not quite certain of.
These two sons George and Charles Edmund were always
(word omitted) as the grandsons of Lord Nugent, and no
questions asked. The youngest Ednuindf was a constant
playfellow of my cousin Kitt Parker at Queen Square and
being destined for the Navy lived constantly with Sir Peter
Parker at Jamaica and elsewhere until Sir Peter made him
a post captain in the Navy and he was after that very much
vrith our family.
The senior brother George I first saw the evening of the
day that he had been at the Queen's drawing room to take
leave on going to join the 57"^ Regiment as a Captain the
Reg' then being in America during the wars with those
provinces. George was about 19 years of age — 6 feet in
height dressed in the Regimentals he had on at Court and
looked remarkably well and very fit for a captain of
grenadiers.
Upon the demise of Lord NugentJ I have understood
that George had some idea of asserting his claim to his
grandfather's Titles — but whether he found it impossible to
prove the legal marriage of his parents or whether dissuaded
by his Aunt, and Lord Buckingham from the attempt I
know not but contented himself with their getting him a
Baronetcy and his Aunt was created Baroness Nugent, in
her own right, with remainder to her second and youngest
son now Lord Nugent,
The long intimacy which subsisted between these
brothers and the Parker family may account to you for my
cousin Mrs. George Ellis going to keep house for Sir George
* In 1776.
t Sir Charles Edmund, E.N., G.C.H., Captain 1779 ; Admiral of
the Fleet 1833 ; died 7 Jan. 1844, ajt. 85.
I On 14 Oct. 1788. In his will, dated 4 Feb. 1788 (500 Calvert),
he styles himself Robert Craggs, Earl Nugent.
in these his latter days, as I presume his married daughters
Lady Freemantle and I believe a Mrs. Clayton, are too
much engaged with their own families to absent themselves
from home.
The Marquis of Buckingham had lent Louis the IS**" for
many years an excellent house rent free and done him many
other kindnesses during his expulsion from France, which I
suppose was the reason he interested himself with George
the fourth to obtain the dukedom for the son from gratitude
to the Father.
So many Nugents fought at the Battle of the Boyne in
1690 against William the third and his General Schomberg
that 16 were killed in action, but my grandfather, Walter
Nugent of Drumcree, in the County of Westmeath, escaped
the slaughter and made his way to Liverpool where he
became a ship husband or supercargo, by freighting a vessel
with his own merchandise and going himself in the ship to
dispose of her cargo at Antigua.
Shortly after the battle, King William published an
amnesty by which all those proprietors who swore allegiance
to him were allowed to retain their possessions. But my
Grandfather being in the West Indies did not know of the
favourable proclamation soon enough to make his sulimission
in the time proscribed and consequently forfeited his estate
of Drumcree, which was given to a Mr. Smyth who with his
heirs ever since possessed it.
My Grandfather I believe made 3 successive & successful
voyages to Antigua and there became acquainted with a
Mr. Leroux a gentleman of landed property there, and no
doubt of French extraction from the name, and who seems
to have recognised a countryman in M'' Nugent which is
only a mis-spelling of Nogent of which name there are three
towns in France (viz.) Nogent sur Seine a little to the
Eastward of Paris & Nogent le Roi and Nogent le Rotron,
both in the district of Maine near Normandy, from one or
other of these latter towns our ancestors came to England
with William the Conqueror.
How we were translated to Ireland I don't know,
probably by grant from the Crown for meritorious services
in the subjugation of England.
M'' Leroux had but one daughter named Antoinetta a
fine well grown girl of 12 years of age and comely looking,
whom he consented to give in marriage to my grandfather
upon his waiting a little time, until he had made another
voyage to England. And before my grandfather left the
Island upon this last voyage he asked his juvenile intended
what present he should bring her from England? to which
she replied " a handsome doll & a large plum cake."
Shortly after his return to the island the marriage was
celebrated and the first child was born when she was only
li years of age. This I believe died, but there were six
others who came to maturity and who shall be accounted
for bye & bye.
M'' Leroux's estate descended to his child Antoinetta &
from her to her eldest son Oliver my father.
The children of Walter Nugent & Antoinetta were : —
(1) Mary who married M"' Lynch an Irishman and
a widower.
(2) Antoinetta married M'' Robert Skerrett an
Irishman.
(3) Oliver who married Elizabeth Dunbar.
(i) Margaret who married Sir Peter Parker an
Irishman.
(5) Eleanor who died unmarried at the age of 94.
(6) Nicholas who died unmarried at the age of 63.
Having been created Baronet which title died
with him.
Stephen Lynch l)y his first wife left 3 sons wlio died
without any existing progeny, and one daughter Bridget
who became Oliver Nugent's second wife after the demise of
NUGENT FAMILY.

Mrs. Kerby had one child married to a M'' Potts a
vinegar merchant of London. She herself lived at Eltham
in Kent.
Barbara Dunbar left issue Charles Warner Dunbar of
Machermore to whom I succeeded in that estate, and Eliza-
beth married to Oliver Nugent leaving three surviving
children : — Robert. Barbara married Mr. Broome an
American, left no issue, and Mary still unmarried who has
for several years been living in Yorkshire.

America.
John died I believe of smallpox.

Charles now the baronet married to a daughter of Lord
Seaford who was the younger brother of Lord Seaford who
was the younger brother of John Ellis.
Antoinetta married to John Ellis left issue — ■
Charles married to Julia Parker mentioned in the other
column.
Antoinetta married to the Count de Chabaunes leaving
2 or 3 children.
Memoranda on the Baronetage of Sir Nicholas Nugent. —
He was required by his commanding officer in the Guards
to give particulars of a private conversation, to which he
objected ; some unpleasant or unsatisfactory conversation
arose, upon which N. Nugent resigned his Commission in
the Reg', & having left the Regiment, challenged his
former commanding officer.
Absent from Court & its circles, George the 3* asked for
& about him, & on hearing the story sent for him, thinking
him hardly used, asked what he could do for him ? He
begged to have his commission returned to him, but this
request being contrary to the rules of the service, was
declined. Upon which George 3** made him a Baronet.
He died without issue & as in the case of a new Baronetcy
the title died with him.
Sir,

detained them. But I waited for the arrival of my records
& manuscripts that I might carefully compare Major
N. Dunbar's narrative with the official documents. The
result is, that the main fact, your family's direct descent
from Drumcree seems clearly established, everything else is
perfectly erroneous. I feel indebted to you therefore for
enabling me in your instance to accomplish the chief object
of the pedigree the ascertaining the ' true claimants of
forfeited lands in Ireland. Every man who has a just claim
should now be prepared to assert it. I am satisfied that
before many years pass over the wrongs of ancient Irish
families will be investigated & redressed. None have suffered
more severely for their allegiance & religion than your own.
The book of forfeitures is a record of robbery. Could you
let me know the baptismal name of M'' Leroux ?
I am Sir very truly Yours

Richard Oliver, Jun., Alderman and M.P. for London.
In 1768 Richard Oliver, Jun., was an active supporter of Wilkes,
as appears by an advertisement which was published this year in the
City, a copy of which is inserted in vol. iii. of Almon's ' Life of
Wilke-s.'
" M' Wilkes' friends undertook to receive subscriptions for satisfy-
ing his creditors, as some reparation to him, and justice due to them :
his being now returned member of parliament for the county of
Middlese.x adds additional weight to their solicitude and application to
the public. M' Wilkes' cause being that of liberty and the constitu-
tion, with which the welfare of every Briton is inseparable connected,
it is lioped the lovers of their country will testify their gratitude upon
this occasion to their common benefactor ; as it may be presumed he
will make it the uniform ambition of his life to defend constitutional
liberty.
" It is therefore earnestlj' requested, that all who are friends to this
cause, in which he has been so great a sufferer, and who are desirous
that he should be through life as independent in his circumstances as
he is in his spirit, and are willing to promote this generous design, will
immediately send in their subscriptions, to enable the gentlemen who
have undertaken this trust to perfect their generous endeavours. No
part of the money subscribed under this trust has been, or ever will be
applied towards defraying any electioneering expences.
" Subscriptions are taken in by John Mills, Samuel Vaughan,
Richard Oliver, Lewis Meudez and George Hayley esqs trustees ; as
also at Messrs Lee and Aytoiis bankers, in Lombard Street ; and at
M' Almon's, in Piccadilly." (April 23, 1768.)
The Society of Supporters of the Bill of Rights was formed 20 Feb.
1769 in the first instance with the object of collecting subscriptions
for the payment of debts incurred by John Wilkes in his opposition to
the Ministry.
They held their meetings at the London Tavern, and Thomas
Oliver, Esq., brother-in-law of Alderman Richard Oliver, acted as
Treasurer. Up to 13 March 1770 they had paid £7400 on his behalf
and £6000 still remained then owing. At a meeting on 9 April 1771,
a violent altercation ensuing between Mr. Wilkes and Mr. Home,
produced a motion from the latter for a dissolution of the Society,
which was however lost b}' 26 against 24. For dissolving the Society
there appeared Mr. Alderman John Sawbridge, Sir Robert Bernard,
Sir Francis Delaval, Messrs. Bellas, William Tooke, Horne, Thomas
Oliver, Twogood, etc., and against it R. Jones, Ellis, Frederick Bull,
Baldy, Adair, Dr. Wilson, John Wilkes, Churchill, etc.
Those who were for the dissolution proceeded to strike their names
off the books, and formed themselves into a new association called the
Constitutional Society. The chief cause of this secession was because
many of the members did not wish to be further saddled with Mr.
Wilkes' debts, but desired to open public subscriptions towards the
furtherance of coustitutional agitation for reform of various abuses in
the government. (Noorthouck's ' London.')
1770, Feb. 7. The supporters of the Bill of rights met at the
London Tavern, when Serjeant Glynn, the chairman, acquainted the
society, that a remittance of 15001. had been paid into the hands of

Letter sent by a Committee of the Supporters of the Bill of Rights to
the Hon. the Commons House of Assembly of South Carolina.
" To the Hon. the Commons House of Assembly of South Carolina.
"Gentlemen,
" We are directed by the society, Suppor^ters of the Bill of
Rights, to transmit to you their thanks for the very honourable testi-
mony you have at once given of your own sentiments, and of your
approbation of their conduct. The same spirit of union and mutual
assistance, which dictated your vote in our favour, animates this
society. We shall ever consider the rights of all our fellow-subjects
throughout the Briti.'ih Empire in England, Scotland, Ireland, and
America, as stones of one arch on which the happiness and security of
the whole are founded. Such would have been our principle of action,
if the system of despotism, which has been adopted, had been more
artfully conducted ; and we should as readily have associated in the
defence of your rights as our own, had they l)een separately attacked.
" But providence has mercifully allotted to depraved hearts weak
understandings : the attack has been made by the same men, at the
same time, on both together, and will serve only to draw us closer in
one great baud of mutual friendship and support.
"Whilst the Norman troops of the first William kept the English
in subjection, his English soldiers were employed to secure the obedi-
ence of the Normans. This management has been too often repeated
now to succeed.
" There was a time when Scotland, though then a separate and
divided nation, could avoid the snare, and refused, even under their
own Stuarts, to enslave their ancient enemies. The chains which
England and Scotland disdained to forge for each other, England and
America shall never consent to furnish.
" Property is the natural right of mankind ; the connection between
ta.xation and representation is its necessary consequence. This con-
nection is now broken, and taxes are attempted to be levied both on
England and America, by men who are not their respective represen-
tatives. Our cause is one — our enemies the same.
" W^e trust our constancy and conduct will not differ. Demands_
which are made without authority should be heard without obedience.
" In this, and in every other constitutional struggle on either side
of the Atlantic, we wish to be united with you, and are as ready to
give, as to receive assistance.
" We desire you. Gentlemen, to be persuaded, that, under all our
domestic grievances and apprehensions, the freedom of America is our
particular attention ; and these your public act, and solemn engage-
ment, afford us a pleasing presage, and confirm our hopes, that when
luxury, misrule, and corruption shall at length, in spite of all resist-
ance, have destroyed this noble constitution here, our posterity will
not, like your gallant ancestors, be driven to an inhospitable shore, but
will find a welcome refuge, where they may still enjoy the rights of
Englishmen amongst their fellow-subjects, the descendants and brothers
of Englishmen.
" We are Gentlemen, With the greatest respect.
Your most obedient servants, and
Affectionate fellow-subjects,

1770, John Wilkes wrote to his daughter on 22 June : —
" M' Thomas Oliver is candidate to succeed the late lord-mayor ;
both as representative of the city, and alderman. I believe he will
succeed in both."
On 26 June :—
" I dined on Sunday at Putney, half a mile only from Fulham,
with M' Oliver, and a large party ; and I prophesy that you will have
a most agreeable neighbour in M" Oliver, and all that family ....
M' Thomas Oliver will be chosen, I believe without opposition ; both
as member for the city and alderman. George Bellas was first pro-
posed, but he resigned in the handsomest manner in favour of M'
Oliver. The Olivers, Lovell, etc., always inquire after you, and desire
their compliments."
On 29 June :—
" M' Thomas Oliver is taken so very ill, that he has been obliged
to keep his bed ; and has given up his canvass, both as representative
for the city and alderman. M' Richard Oliver succeeds him in both,
to the great joy of all our friends."
On 6 July :—
" M' Richard Oliver has no opposition hitherto as member ; and
the election will be next Wednesday or Thursday."
(Almon's ' Wilkes's Correspondence,' vol. vi.)
1770, June 29. After the business of the Court was over, Mr.
Richard'oiiver, at the request of some gentlemen on the Hustings
addressed the Livery in the following manner :
" Gentlemen of the Livery,
" It is with the greatest concern I must inform you, that my
brother,* M' Thomas Oliver, the late candidate for your favour as
Representative of this city, lies dangerously ill of a violent fever, which
for two days past has deprived him of his senses. In an interval of

THE HISTORY OF ANTIGUA.
his reason 3'esterday, expecting his death, he exjjressed great anxiety
lest the Livery of London should be left without a candidate whom
they might rely upon for his fidelity, — he desired me to make his
excuses to the public, for whose service only he had consented to become
a candidate, and to represent to you, that his severe illness must pre-
vent him from compleating his" freedom, and being your member at
present ; he therefore humbly begs leave to decline, and returns you
his most sincere thanks for "the very great encouragement he has
received on his canvass.
" Having said thus much, Gentlemen, for my brother, your late
Candidate, I must iutreat your permission to speak a few words for
myself. It was very far from my wish or intention ever to have taken
an active part in any public affairs ; but the present situation of this
country calls aloud on every honest man to relinquish his own ease,
his own peaceful retirement, and to stand up in the defence of those
rights, which whoever knows the value of them, will never abandon but
with his life; I therefore now solicit your votes and interest for
myself. I am actuated by the same motives, and possess the same zeal
for your service ; and I hope by your vigorous support to prevent the
opportunity, which my brother's illness might otherwise have given to
your Adversaries, to impose upon you some associate of their own, to
assist them in the prosecution of" those schemes which have called
dovrn upon them the curses of their injured country. It is for this
reason only, I now offer myself a candidate for your votes and interest,
to be elected one of your Representatives in Parliament.
" It will be my constant study to represent you faithfully, and to
have no object in view but your welfare, happiness, honour, and
security ; for I never could imagine that any power was ever bestowed
upon a Representative for any other purpose but the advantage of the
constituents." (' Gent. Mag.,' p. 340.)
1770. At the common-hall on July 11"' .... when the name of
Richard Oliver, Esq. ; citizen and draper* was proposed, every hand
in the hall was held up to signify the general approbation, with loud
acclamations. He was therefore declared by the sheriffs duly elected
a representative for the city of London. Then stepping forward he
returned thanks in a genteel speech for their as yet unmerited con-
fidence in him ; told them he should consider himself as deputed for
their benefit ; and not for his own advantage ; that he would be
obedient to those instructions they had a right to give to their
servants ; that he would contribute his share in any manner, to render
justice to the freeholders of Middlesex, and in them to all the other
counties and boroughs in Great Britain, for the injury they had
received in being deprived of a representative in parliament, who had
been duly and repeatedly elected by those who alone have and ought
to have "the right of election. He added that as he never had or
desired, so he never would either directly or indirectly accept, either
place, pension, emolument, contract, or gratification, of any kind what-
ever, from the crown or its ministers . ..." I will endeavour. Gentle-
men, to the utmost of my abilities, to act up to the station in which
jou have placed me. My life will be happily employed, if I shall ever
be able to render you services in any measiu-e equal to those of your
late much lamented representative, whose memory will be dear to me,
as it is to every good citizen : but though I should fail in these wishes,
I can at least promise you in full confidence, that I will equal him in
the integrity of his heart and in the independence of his spirit."
On July 14, a wardmote was held in Butcher's-hall, Pudding-lane,
for the election of an alderman for Billingsgate-ward, in the room of
the late lord-mayor, when Richard Oliver, Esq; merchant in Fen-
church-street, and one of the Supporters of the Bill of Rights, was
chosen without opposition.
(Noorthouck'a ' History of London,' p. 485.)
" M' Alderman Oliver presents his respects to M' Alderman Wilkes
and informs him that Major M'^Lean called yesterday in Fenchurch
Street to desire a declaration or assurance that M' Wilkes's notes to
M' M'Lean should be paid by the Society of the London Tavern and
on M' Oliver's not being able to give any other answer to the applica-
tion than that he believed the Society had not means for discharging
them the Major said they must be delivered to L'' Verney.
" This M' Oliver thinks proper to mention to M' Wilkes that he
may not be surprised by any measures which may be taken in conse-
quence of L'' Verney's possessing the notes.

Obigin of the fbee prBLiCATiON OF Parliamentaet Debates.
Previous to the year 1771 it was " highly criminal " for any person
to print a report of the debates of the House of Commons, except by
order of the Speaker. In Feb. complaints having been made against
several printers for having contravened this rule, the serjeant of arms
was instructed to take them into custody, & a royal proclamation was
issued on 8 March offering a reward of £50 each for their apprehension.
On 15 March "Wbeble, one of the ofl'ending printers, was brought
before AVilkes, the sitting alderman at the Guildhall, who, finding that
the prisoner had been illegally taken into custody, without a warrant
signed by a city magistrate, discharged him. Thompson another
printer w"as carried before M' Alderman Oliver, at the Mansion House,
as being the person described in his majesty's proclamation ; but not
being accused of having committed any crime, he vfas in like manner
set at liberty. J. Miller, another, was seized in virtue of a warrant
from the Speaker & carried to the Mansion House, where he was
examined before the Lord-Mayor, Brass Crosby, & Aldermen Wilkes
& Oliver. These 3 magistrates proceeded to order Miller's release &
signed the commitment of the messenger for assault.
The ministerial ])arty in the House of Commons were greatly en-
raged at this opposition to their authority, and ordered the Lord
Mayor to attend in his place, who pleaded that by the City Charters
citizens were exempted from any law process being served but by their
own officers.
On 20 March the minutes of the proceedings against the messenger
at the Lord Mayor's Court were read in the House & they were ordered
to be expunged.*
On 21 March the Court of Common Council voted the thanks of
the Court to the Lord Mayor & Aldermen Wilkes & Oliver, for sup-
porting the privileges & franchises of the city, & a committee of 12
was selected to assist them in their defence, & £500 voted for legal
expences.
M' Wilkes had received 2 orders to attend the House which dis-
regarding, a 3'' was sent to him directing him to attend on 8 April but
the House adjourned over that day to evade the difficulty.
" M' Oliver's conduct came next under consideration ; who being
asked what he had to say in his defence, answered, that he owned and
gloried in the fact laid to his charge: that he knew no justification
could avert the punishment that was intended for him ; that he was
conscious of having done his duty, was indifferent as to the conse-
quences ; and as he thought it in vain to appeal to justice, so he defied
the threats of power. It was then moved that he should be sent to the
Tower, but great heats arose upon this question ; the severest censures,
not without threats were thrown out; and above thirty gentlemen
quitted the house in a body, with declarations of the utmost asperity.
Some of those who cultivated an interest in the city, declared, that
they would, in the same situation, act the part that M'' Oliver did, and
therefore they should all be sent to the Tower together. Several
attempts were made from the other side, to bring M' Oliver to a sub-
mission, or at least an acknowledgment of error; that they might
terminate the contest on their parts decently ; but he continued in-
flexible, declaring that he had acted from law and principle; and
therefore would never submit to an imputation of guilt. The question
for his being sent to the Tower was at length )iut, and carried by 170
to 38, most of the minority having before quitted the house. This
was on the 26th at three o'clock in the morning. He was indulged to
lie at his own house in Fenchurch-street where the serjeant-at-arms
attended at 8 o'clock & conducted him thence in a coach to the Tower.
He was visited during his confinement by great numbers of both
Houses."
On the 27"" the Lord Mayor attended the House when a like
motion as to him was carried by 202 against 39.
" Motions were made and carried in the court of common council
to provide tables tor the lord-mayor and alderman Oliver in the Tower,
at the city expence; the acceptance of which however both these
gentlemen politely declined."
April 3. The Committee of the Common Council of the City of
London unanimously resolved, " That M' Solicitor do immediately
apply to M' Serjeant Glynn, M' Dunning, and M' Lee, or such of them
as are in town, and under their directions to move for Habeas Corpora
for the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and M' Alderman Oliver, now
detained in the Tower of London."
April 5. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor was brought, in a
private manner, to Lord Chief Justice De Grey's, in Lincoln's inn
fields, by virtue of a Writ of Habeas Corpus; when, after hearing
Counsel, the Lord Chief Justice was of opinion that he should be re-
committed, as the Parliament was not prorogued. The Counsel were,
M' Serjeant Glynn and M' Lee, of Lincoln's-inn. M'' Alderman Oliver
was carried before Lord Mansfield, at his Chambers in Serjeant's-inn.
The Counsel, as also his Lordship's opinion, were the same as that of
Lord Chief Justice De Grey. After these decisions, the Lord Mayor
and M' Oliver were re-conveyed by the Major to the Tower. (P. 188.)
Another attempt to procure their enlargement was made in the
law courts on the SO"" April, but the Judges decided adversely.
" On 8 Jlay the King prorogued parliament & at 2 o'clock by
previous arrangement part of the court of aldermen, and almost the
whole common-council, preceded by the city marshal and his deputy,
went from Guildhall to the Tower. There were fifty-three carriages
in the train. The members of the Artillery company accompanied the
procession in their uniform, which made a very fine appearance. On
the lord-mayor and M' Oliver's being brought to the Tower gate by
the proper officers of that fortress, they were saluted by twenty-one
pieces of cannon belonging to the artillery company, and received by
the people with the greatest acclamaticms, which were continued all
the way to the Mansion-house. The city was grandly illuminated in
the evening ; and the populace as turbulent as they usually are on
public occasions of rejoicing. It may he added that since this alTair
the daily news-papers have continued to inform the public of parlia-
mentary proceedings without reserve and willioiit obstruction."

OLIVER EAMILY.
341
1771, April 12. Mr. Wilkes waited on Mr. Oliver in the Tower,
and told him the resolution he had taken to be Sheriff next year with
him, Mr. Oliver gave man3' strong reasons why Mr. Wilkes ought
not to attempt it, but finding his arguments ineffectual, he afterwards
sent him the following letter :
SlE,
That I may be explicit as early as possible after j'our desire that
I should explain myself concerning the Shrievalty, I must inform you
that I am determined not to serve the office of Sheriff with you ;
because I really do not think from your own declarations that your
political aims are similar to mine. This resolution I must communi-
cate to the livery, if you joyu me in your nomination.
I am Sir
your most humble Servant
Tower, 11 April 1771. Richd. Oliver.
(Add. MS. 30871, fo. 74.)
To which Wilkes replied ;
To Eichard Oliver, Esq.
Princes Court, Friday April 12.
Sir,
I did not receive your letter till nine last night, when I was in
the City with my Common Council. When we were alone a few days
ago, you ask'd me, if I meant to be Sheriff the ensuing 3'ear. I
answered with the frankness of ray nature to a friend, that if 1 had
the honour of being chosen, I wou'd not decline that troublesome and
expensive office, and that, in the actual crisis of affairs, I really wished
it for various reasons of great public utility, which I am persuaded
live still in your memory.
Yesterday morning I put the same question to you. Tour verbal
answer was not explicit : your letter is. You .say " I am determined
not to serve the office of Sheriff with you." The propriety of such a
declaration does not strike me. I consider it as the duty of every
gentleman to submit to the Livery the choice of his Colleague, and
not to refuse an office, because he disapproves another person, of whom
his own Constituents entertain a favourable opinion. I am ready to
serve the office of Sheriff with you, Sir, or any other gentleman given
me by the Livery as a colleague, should they think proper to elect me.
You add " because I really do not think from your own declaration
that your political aims are similar to mine."
My declarations have alwa^'s been very explicit : my aims fair and
honourable. I am satisfied that yours are no less upright. I started
much earlier than you in political life. I gave my public creed on
several occasions. You have done the same. Our sentiments have
always coincided, altho' our expressions have varied. How then can
our political aims not be ■■similar ! I wish to know in what they
differ. I will at any time yield to the conviction of superior reason.
You conclude "this resolution I must communicate to the livery if
you join me in your nomination." I never entertained the idea of any
nomi'nrt^i'on proceeding from myself. If I am called upon, I will serve,
but I shall never dictate to the Liverj' what they should do. I shall
likewise not fail to communicate to so respectable a body ever}' trans-
action of a public nature, respecting their rights or interests, and I
will obey their commands.
I am, Sir
your most humble servant,
John Wilkes.
{Ibiil., fo. 75.)
The following address was printed and circulated* : —
" To the W^orthy Liverymen of the City of London.
" Feuchurch Street. June 21" 1771.
" Gentlemen,
"As the time approaches in which you are to make your
election of Sheriffs, for the year ensuing, I hold it my duty to lay
before you, some of the reasons which have determined me not to
serve that office with M' Wilkes and I submit them to the candour and
good sense of the Livery, under the full persuasion that they would
justly esteem me unworthy of past or future confidence, if I could be
induced by any consideration, deliberately to engage in a measure
which I sincerely believe to be wrong. Were the office of Sheriff for
the County of Middlesex to be served by a single person as in other
counties, I should consider it highly improper that M' Wilkes should
be the Sheriff; however in that case should have contented myself
with having no part in placing him in so responsible an office,
inconsistent with his situation, and the duties, which in my opinion
he owes to the freeholders of Middlesex. But when it becomes a
question not only whether Mr. Wilkes is to be the Sheriff, but
whether I am to be his colleague, you will in this case permit me to
say, that though I shall not refuse to serve with any proper person
yet I cannot consent to be united with him. The peculiar circum-
stances which at present attend the County of Middlesex render it
not impossible that M' Lutterell's seat may be vacated if M' Wilkes
should be elected Sheriff. If that event shall take place I shall
consider it m}' duty to pursue the same method respecting the writ,
as would have been pursued, if the <iuestion concerning M' Wilkes
had never taken place. I never will consent to make a special return
to the writ. I do not consider it as being in the power of the Sheriff
to determine for the Freeholders, whether they shall or shall not go
to election. Nay, supposing such conduct in the Sheriff, even in
some measure defensible in the present instance, I should consider it
as the greatest infelicity of my life, to have at all contributed towards
establishing such a dangerous precedent ; for as the Court appointed
the Sheriffs in general, it may eventually prove the source of much
greater encroachments on the freedom of election, than those of which
we now so justly proclaim. But were it possible for me to adopt this
measure of making a special return, I apprehend it would be as
* There is a copy of it in the Guildhall Library.
ineffectual, as it is illegal ; for the Coroner may execute the writ, if
the Sheriff will not, and the Ministry may send two or three hundred
electors to re-elect the present possessor of the seat for Middlesex.
If these are not opposed by a greater number, and M' Lutterell is
elected, his title to his seat will be improved. If they are opposed by
a majority, the question remains precisely as at present. As every
Sheriff is under a legal incapacity of returning himself a Member of
the County in which he serves the office, I am fully convinced that
Mr. Wilkes' election at this time can tend only to perplex the
question ; and that the best service he can do his country, is to keep
himself in such a situation as shall deprive the Ministry of alledging
against him any just and legal objection to his being seated as the
Member for Middlesex. M' Wilkes' opinions and mine being so
essentially different on this poiut, it is impossible for us to serve this
office together ; such an important though temporary connection
should be entered into with mutual confidence and conducted with
unanimity ; but ;is this cannot be the case, the interest of the public
must suffer. If the reasons I have offered do not appear to you
Gentlemen with the same force as the}' do to me and if it is in your
opinion that the interest of the Freeholders of Middlesex, will be best
served by making a special return, you will evidently perceive that
the most effectual method of bringing tiiis question to an issue, would
be to appoint someone to this office with M' Wilkes, who will readily
imbibe his opinions, and who is prepared to stand all the consequences
which may attend implicitly following them. I will not shrink at
any danger to which I may be exp"sed in supporting the Law and
the Constitution, but if our political principles were different only in
this instance, I am confident your candour will never suffer you to
elect one to your office in which I must either act contrary to your
judgment or my own.
" I am Gentlemen with the greatest respect
Your faithful and obedient Servant
Richard Oliver."
The poll for sheriffs closed on the 2nd of July, when the numbers
polled were as under : —
For Mr. Wilkes 2315, Bull 2194, Kirkman 1949, Plumbe 1875,
Oliver 119.
Though Mr. Oliver stood so very low on the poll hooks, his merit
was known and acknowledged ; but as it was more than probable that
Mr. Wilkes would be chosen, Mr. Oliver's prior declaration withheld
his own friends from voting for him, and it was unpardonable in the
eyes of Mr. Wilkes's friends for any man to diU'er in opinion with
him. (Noorthouck, p. 511.)
1771. June 24. At a meeting of the Livery this day a silver cup
of £200 in value was voted to the Lord Mayor and cups of £100 each
to Aldermen Wilkes and Oliver.
The Crosby cup was in 1829 an heirloom in the possession of
William Brooks, nephew of Brass Crosby. The author of the latter's
Memoir thus describes it :
" This capacious drinking vessel contains seven quarts, and weighs
270 ounces. It is of the vase form ; the handles are satyrs of exquisite
workmanship, supporting garlands of husks, which are disposed with
great elegance and chaste simplicity. On the cover is a young
Bacchus kneeling, and holding a bunch of grapes. On the rim are
disposed three medallions, bearing the effigies of the Lord Mayor,
Alderman Wilkes, and Alderman Oliver, with the inscription, ' United
in the cause of liberty.'"
The Wilkes cup is now in the possession of Sir George Sherston
Baker, Bart., who is descended from Alderman George Hayley, M.P.,
who married Mr. Wilkes's sister. An engraving of it appeared in the
' Gent. Mag.'
The Oliver cup forms part of the Corporation plate at the Mansion
House. It is silver gilt, about 1 foot 10 inches in height, and
weighs 162 ounces. Its two handles are ornamented with the City
supporters. The cover is fluted and surmounted bj' a figure of
Liberty. On the front are two shields with the arms of the City, and
of Richard Oliver {Ermine, on a chief sable three lions rampant
argent), with this inscription : —
This Cup Prefented by the City
to AJdn Oliver
for joining with Other Magistrates
in the Release of a Freeman
who was arrested bif Order of the House of Commons ;
and in a M'arrantfor imprisoning
the Mefsenger who had arrested the Citizen,
and refused to give Bail.

1771, July 24. Junius writes :
" I beg M' Home, you will hereafter believe that I measure the
integrity of men b}' their conduct, not by their professions. Such
tales may entertain M' Oliver, or your grandmother, but trust me
they are thrown away upon Junius .... In my opinion your credit
is irrecoverably ruined. M' Townsend, I think, is nearly in the same
predicament. " Poor Oliver has been shamefully duped by you. You
have made him sacrifice all the honour he got by his imprisonment."
1771, July 31. John Home replies:
" He (Junius) very properly produces a young lady to prove that
I am not a man : and a good old woman, my grandmother, to prove
M' Oliver a fool .... I understand the two great leaders of opposition
to be Lord Rockingham and Lord Chatham ; under one of whose
banners all the opposing members of both Houses, who desire to get
places, enlist. I can place no confidence in either of them, or in any

others, unless they will now engage, whilst they are Out, to grant
certain essential advantages for the security of the public when they
shall be In administration. These jioints they refuse to stipulate,
because they are fearful lest they should prevent any future overtures
from the court. To force them to these stipulations has been the
uniform endeavour of M' Sawbridge, M' Townsend, M' Oliver etc.
and Therefore they are abused by Junius."
1771, Aug. 15. Junius writes :
" I comprehend the policy of endeavouring to communicate to
M' Oliver and M' Sawbridge a share in the reproaches, with which he
supposes me to have loaded him (Home). My memory fails me, if I
have mentioned their names with disrespect ; unless it be reproachful
to acknowledge a sincere respect for the character of M' Sawbridge,
and not to have questioned the innocence of M' Oliver's intentions."
1772. On July 1 Alderman Richard Oliver was returned as one
of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex.
1772, Sunday, Aug. 23. " On Thursday I reached Weymouth, in
the evening. I sent my compliments to M' Oliver, who was too ill to
see company." (Wilkes ' Memoirs.')

1774, Aug. Alderman Richard Oliver was elected General of the
Hon. Artillery Company.
" A Copy of the Letter sent by M' Oliver in Answer to the Request
of his Friends, to stand for the Mayoralty for the ensuing Year."
" Gentlemen,
" I am extremely sorry that the situation to which extreme
misconduct and extreme infatuation have at length reduced this
country, constrains me to return your obliging compliment an abso-
lute and firm refusal of the honour 3'ou propose by your intended
nomination of me at Michaelmas.
" Instead of taking upon me any further trust, I must propose to
resign back into the hands of my fellow citizens those trusts with
which they have already honoured me ; — I mean my gown as an
alderman of London, and my delegation as one of their representatives
in Parliament.
" The greatest part of my property is vested in the once flourishing
West-India Islands, a part of the remaining colonies, which still
I hope continue to belong to the crown of Great Britain. But in
whatever possession they may now or hereafter be, the precarious
state of that much-injured property will speedily demand my presence,
and it never was my intention to hold an otfioe, and neglect the duties
by absence. My case in this respect is only similar to that of many
persons more, whose property is situated as mine is, and those who
Beem least willing to admit it, will find at last that there is a reciprocal
duty, and that allegiance will always go together with protection and
justice.
" In every part of the world I shall always carry with me a grate-
ful remembrance of the honour conferred me by the good opinion and
confidence of my fellow-citizens, and shall quit a country in which
I have been so honoured, with the deepest regret — a regret which
receives no alleviation, but what is furnished by those who have
caused the necessity of quitting it.
" I am, Gentlemen, with the greatest esteem and gratitude.
Tour much obliged, and faithful humble servant,
Richard Olivee.
Margate, 6 Sept. 1778."
(Annual Register, p. 200.)
1778, Nov. 19. At a Court of Common Council held at Guildhall —
Resolved : " That the thanks of this Court be given to Frederick
Bull, John Sawbridge, Richard Oliver, and George Hayley, Esqrs.,
our present worthy representatives, for their upright and steady
conduct in parliament, for their strenuous endeavours to prevent the
loss of our colonies, and the shame and distress of this unhappy
country."
1778, Nov. 25. At a court of Aldermen held at Guildhall —
At this court M' Alderman Oliver resigned his gown, and received
the thanks of the Court unanimously. He withdrew from public life
with a name esteemed for firmness and integrity.
1778, Dec. 4. Yesterday a court of common-council was held at
Guildhall, when the court agreed that thanks be given to Richard
Oliver, Esq., for his uniform conduct in the administration of justice,
etc.
1779, Dec. 22. By Indenture of this date Jonas Langford Brooke
appointed as his attorney " Richard Oliver the Younger Esq late an
Alderman & now one of the representatives in Parliament of the city
of London at present residing at Antigua."
The King dissolved Parliament in 1780 and Richard Oliver did
not offer himself for re-election.
His death is thus notified in the ' Gent. Mag.' ;
1784, April 16. " On board the Sandwich packet in his passage
from Nevis Rich'' Oliver Esq formerly an alderman and M.P. for
London."
" He was returning to England for the recovery of his health.
He married his cousin, by whom he had no issue, & his property in
Antigua would consequently have descended to his nephew Richard
Oliver, Esq., the son of his brother Thomas ; but having formed a
solemn engagement with a M' Smith* that the longest liver should
have all the other died possessed of, he bequeathed to him the whole
of his property." (' Memoir of Lord Mayor Crosby,' p. 33.)

THE HISTORY OF ANTIGUA.
1738, Nov. 18. Isaac Royall of Antigua and Charles-
town (born 1672 ; died 1739) with his wife Elizabeth sold
to Robert Oliver of Dorchester, Mass., for £2516 very con-
siderable real estate in Dorchester.
1738. Jacob Royall and Rebecca his wife sold to Robert
Oliver 2-|- acres with buildings in Dorchester.
1747, Feb. 12. Isaac Royall (born 1719; died 1781)
■with Henry Vassal! of Cambridge hired for seven years of
Robert Oliver of Dorchester a plantation of 148 acres at
Popeshead, Antigua.
Mrs. Elizabeth Royall died at Medford 21 April 1747,
and was buried from the house of Dr. Oliver at Dorchester.
(' The New England Royalls,' by E. D. Harris.
Boston, 1885.)
Elizabeth Vassall, born at Cambridge, Sept. 12, 1739 ;
married Thomas Oliver of Dorchester, June 11, 1760. She
died in England previous to 1808. He died Nov. 29, 1815,
aged 82. Lt. Gov. Phips was appointed her guardian Sept.
16, 1747, and Edw. Davis, Sep. 11, 1759. Thomas Oliver
was the last royal lieutenant governor and president of the
Council appointed in 1774. Sept. 2 of same year, he was
compelled by a mob of 4000 persons, to resign his ofiBce,
and he almost immediately vacated his beautiful estate in
Cambridge (afterwards occupied by Gov. Gerry, and lately
by Rev. Chas. Lowell, D.D.) and removed to Boston. Here
he resided until '76, when, at the evacuation, lie accompanied
the royal army to Halifax, and from there to England. He
was exiled by the Act of 1778, and his estate confiscated.
The farmhouse in connection with his Cambridge mansion
is standing distant a few hundred rods from the present
estate in a S.E. direction upon the slope of a hill overlook-
ing Chai-les River. Lt. Gov. Oliver was a quiet reserved
man, but lictle known in public life, though ever distin-
guished by his amiable and gentlemanly graces.
The following baptisms of children are found upon the
records of Christ church, Cambridge :
Anne, bapt. March 4, 1764.
Elizabeth, bapt. Aug. 17, 1766.
Penelope, bapt. Oct. 2, 1768.
John Vassall, born at Cambridge, Mass., June 12, 1738 ;
H.C. 1757 ; married Elizabeth, sister of L' Gov. Thomas
Oliver, Jan. 12, 1761 ; he died Oct. 2, 1797, at Clifton,
Eng. ; she died at Clifton in her 32d year (sic) March 31,
1807.
On Oct. 2, 1762 he sold in company with Thomas and
Elizabeth Oliver, for £726, 45 acres on Cambridge neck
being the share of the estate of L' Gov. Phips, set off to
their mother Eliz. Vassall. Nov. 30, 1763 he purchased of
Thomas Oliver for £1000 his undivided share in his father's
estate consisting mainly of lauds in the western part of the
state.
('The Vassalls of New England,' by Edward
Doubleday Harris.)
In ' Our Colonial Homes,'* by Samuel Adams Drake of
Boston, Mass., is an illustration of the old house at Dor-
chester, formerly the home of the Olivers, later of the
Everetts. It is situated at " the point where the old road
coming from Roxbury burying-ground is crossed by that
leading from Upham's Corner in Dorchester, over the old
causeway to South Boston, locally known as ' The Five
Corners.' The house, standing as we see it in the angle
formed by two streets, has both a south and west front,
with entrances in each. Its high gainbrel roof, topped by
ornamental balustrades, aids in lifting the whole structure
into one harmonious effect ; still, they knew in colonial
times, as well as we now do, how to keep up appearances, so
that the mansion has little depth compared with its height
* Published by Lee and Shepard, Boston, 1894.
and frontage, and, though destitute of any particular feature
of ornament, there is something decidedly pleasing about
its appearance. It is, moreover, in excellent preservation.
This house belongs to a class of which we find so many
examples dating back to between 1740 and 1760, as to con-
firm the opinion that such houses had become the prevailing
fashion. At any rate they announce an era of better taste ;
and they almost invariably signal to us the residence of one
of the colonial gentry, in whom all the aristocratic traditions
of his English prototype were most loyally cherished.
" Should we elect to enter the house, we must fii'st raise
and let fall the big brazen knocker, which almost frights
the quiet neighborhood with its clangor. Yoir next enter
a broad hall, which opens at either hand into large parlors,
and these in turn have chambers above. Edward Everett
was born in the east chamber, on the right of the picture.
Nathan Hale, so distinguished in New England journalism,
and some time Everett's instructor at Exeter Academy, was
married in the apartment beneath.
" It is supposed that Colonel Robert Oliver built this
house about 1740, and that his son, Thomas Oliver,* the
last Lieutenant-Governor of Massachusetts under the crown,
was either born here or on the estate, which reckoned in
his time some forty acres of pasture and marsh.
"Colonel Oliver, a descendant of the Huguenot 01iviers,t
a name renowned in French chivalry, was engaged in trade
with the 'West Indies, and is reported to have brought the
first negro slaves to Dorchester. It is said that he employed
them at first in removing a hillock of earth, each laborer
carrying his load in a wooden tray upon his head. The
colonel being advised to substitute barrows for a process so
tedious, furnished his slaves with them, but was at his wits'
end at seeing the negroes returning, each with a well-filled
barrow on his head ! It is not many years since the writer
saw negroes at work coaling a huge Atlantic steamship in a
West-Indian port, by carrying the coal on board in tubs on
their heads. Cambridge, Betty, and Mimbo, three of Colo-
nel Oliver's slaves, have stones erected to their memory in
the old burial-place, a short distance from the mansion-house.
" The son, afterwards lieutenant-governor, had a fortune,
much exceeding that of his father, left him by a grandfather
and great-uncle, so that Oliver pere did not feel called upon
to make any provision for Oliver fiJs in his will, beyond the
usual mourning-suit and ring. The younger Oliver removed
to Cambridge before the Revolution, where he lived in great
state in the elegant seat now known as Elmwood — the late
residence of the lamented James Russell Lowell. These late
Dorchester Olivers, by the by, were of a different family
from Andi'ew, the stamp-master, and Peter, the Chief-
Justice of Massachusetts.
" Thomas Oliver, a dapper little man, pleasant of speech
and courtly of manner, was in no public office previous to
his appointment as Hutchinson's deputy — a choice which
occasioned so much surprise that it was currently believed
that Thomas had been inserted by accident in the commis-
sion instead of that of Peter. But Hutchinson, who
managed the affair, knew what he was about. Popular
agitation was fast leading up to open hostilities. To hold
office in those stormy times was not a bed of roses, as Oliver
soon found out to his cost. To hold high one's head, drink
the King's health, talk flippantly of the rabble, and boast-
fully of the might of Britain, signalled the true Tory of the
Revolution. Oliver was no more unpopular than the rest,
or any better judge of the signs of the coming political
tempest then about to sweep him and them into oblivion.
One fine morning in September 1774, the men of Middlesex
appeared in the lieutenant-governor's grounds at Cambridge,
and wrung from him a resignation, after which he consulted
his safety by a flight into Boston."
Thomas was born at .\nti^ua.
f This is incorrect.

Mr. Samuel Adams Drake wrote me on 21 May 1804 : —
" The notice of Col. Robert's death, taken from the ' Boston
Evening- Post ' of 20 Dec, 1762 is as follows : ' On Thm-s-
day morning last (IG Dec. 1762) died at his seat in Dor-
chester, Col. Robert Oliver, in the 63d year of his age. A
gentleman of an extensive Acqnaiutance, great Hospitality
to all, kind to the poor, & in his Military character beloved
and esteemed.' "
Oliver, Thomas. Of Cambridge, Massachusetts. "Was
born in Dorchester, and graduated at Harvard University
in 175:3. He lived in great retirement, and mingled but
little in public affaire. But after the decease of Lieutenant
Governor Andrew Oliver, of a different family, in 1774, he
was appointed his successor, and was the last royal Lieu-
tenant Governor, and President of the Council of Massa-
chusetts. As his appointment as Councillor was by the
King's writ of mandamas, and contrary to the charter,
which provided for the election of members of the Council,
he became an object of popular resentment. He detailed
the course pursued against him, in consequence of being
sworn into office, in the following narrative, dated Septem-
ber 7, 1774, which, as giving his version, and as throwing
light on the transactions of the times, is inserted entire.
It is an answer to the Whig account of the occurrences at
Cambridge on the 2d of September, and, as will be seen, is
very full and explicit. " Early in the morning " (of Sep-
tember 2d), said he, " a number of the inhabitants of
Charlestown called at my house to acquaint me that a large
body of people from several towns in the County were on
their way coming down to Cambridge ; that they were afraid
some bad consequences might ensue, and begged I would
go out to meet them, and endeavor to prevail on them to
return. In a very short time, before I could prepare myself
to go, they appeared in sight. I went out to them, and
asked the reasons of their appearance in that manner ; they
respectfully answered, they ' came peaceably to inquire into
their grievances, not with design to hurt any man.' I
perceived they were landholders of the neighboring towns,
and was thoroughly persuaded that they would do no harm.
I was desired to speak to them ; I accordingly did, in such
a manner as I thought best calculated to quiet their minds.
They thanked me for my advice, said they were iw mob,
but sober, orderly people, who would commit no disorders ;
and then proceeded on their way. I returned to my house.
Soon after they had arrived on the Common at Cambridge,
a I'eport arose that the troops were on their march from
Boston ; I was desired to go and intercede with his Excel-
lency to prevent their coming. From principles of humanity
to the country, from a general love of mankind, and from
persuasions that they were orderly people, I readily under-
took it ; and is there a man on earth, who, placed in my
circumstances, could have refused it ? I am informed I am
censured for having advised the General to a measure which
may reflect on the troops, as being too inactive upon such a
disturbance ; but sure such a reflection on a military man
can never arise but in the minds of such as are entirely
ignorant of these circumstances.
" Wherever this afl'air is known, it must also be known
it was my request the troops should not be sent, but to
return ; as I passed the people I told them, of my own
accord, I would return and let them know the event of my
application (not, as was relaced in the papers, to confer with
them on my own circmnstances as President of the CouncU).
" On my return I went to the Committee, I told them
no troops had been ordered, and from the account I had
given his Excellency, none would be ordered. I was then
thanked for the trouble I had taken in the affair, and was just
about to leave them to their own business, when one of the
Committee observed, that as I was present, it might be proper
to mention a matter they had to propose to me. It was,
that although they had a respect for me as Lieutenant
Governor of the Province, they could wish I would resign
my seat. I told them I took it very unkind that they should
mention anything on that subject ; and among other
reasons I urged, that, as Lieutenant Governor, I stood in a
particular relation to the Province in general, and therefore
could not hear anything upon that matter from a particular
County. I was then pushed to know, iP I would resign
when it appeared to be the sense of the Province in general ;
I answered, that when all the other Councillors had resigned,
if it appeared to be the sense of the Province I should
resign, I would submit. They then called for a vote upon
the subject, and, by a very great majority, voted my reasons
satisfactory. I inquired whether they had full power to act
for the people, and being answered in the affirmative, I
desired they would take care to acquaint them of their votes,
that I should have no further application made to me on
that head. I was promised by the Chairman, and a general
assent, it should be so. This left me entirely clear and free
from any apprehensions of a further application upon this
matter, and perhaps will account for that confidence which
I had in the people, and for which I may be censured. In-
deed, it is true, the event proves I had too much, but
reasoning from events yet to come, is a kind of reasoning I
have not been used to. In the afternoon I observed large
companies pouring in from different parts ; I then began to
apprehend they would become unmanageable, and that it
was expedient to go out of their way. I was just going
into my carriage when a great crowd advanced, and in a
short time my house was surrounded by three or four
thousand people, and one quarter part in arms. I went to
the front door, where I was met by five persons, who
acquainted me they were a Committee from the people to
demand a resignation of my seat at the Board. I was
shocked at their ingratitude and false dealings, and re-
proached them with it. They excused themselves by saying
the people were dissatisfied with the vote of the Committee,
and insisted on my signing a paper they had prepared for
that purpose. I found I had been ensnared, and endeavored
to reason them out of such ungrateful behavior. They gave
such answers, that I found it was in vain to reason longer
with them ; I told them my first considerations were for my
honor, the next for my life ; that they might put me to
death or destroy my property, but I would not submit.
They began then to reason in their turn, urging the power
of the people, and the danger of opposing them. All this
occasioned a delay, which enraged part of the multitude,
who, pressing into my back-yard, denounced vengeance to
the foes of their liberties.
"The Committee endeavored to moderate them, and
desired them to keep back, for they pressed up to my
windows, which then were open ; I could from thence hear
them at a distance calling out for a determination, and, with
their arms in their hands, swearing they would have my
blood if I refused. The Committee appeared to be anxious
for me, still I refused to sign ; part of the populace growing
furious, and the distress of my family who heard their
threats, and supposed them just about to be executed, called
up feelings which I could not suppress : and nature, ready to
find new excuses, suggested a thought of the calamities I
should occasion if I did not comply ; I found myself giving
way, and began to cast about to contrive means to come ofif
with honor. I proposed they should call in the people to
take me out by force, but they said the people were enraged,
and they would not answer for the consequences ; I told
them I would take the risk, but they refused to do it.
Reduced to this extremity, I cast my eyes over the paper,
with a hurry of mind and conflict of passion which rendered
me unable to remark the contents, and wrote underneath
the following words : ' My house at Cambridge being sur-
rounded by four thousand people, in compHance with their
350
THE HISTOEY OF ANTIGUA.
commands, I sign ray name, Thomas Oliver.' The five
persons took it, carried it to the people, and, I believe, used
their endeavors to get it accepted. I had several messages
that the people would not accept it with those additions,
upon which I walked into the court-yard, and declared I
would do no more, though they should put me to death. I
perceived that those persons who formed the first body which
came down in the morning, consisted of the landholders of
the neighboring towns, used their utmost endeavors to get
the paper received with my additions ; and I must, in justice
to them, observe, that during the whole transaction, they
had never invaded my enclosures, but still were not able to
protect me from other insults which I received from those
who were in arms. From this consideration I am induced to
quit the country, and seek protection in the town."
The document presented to M'' Oliver on the Sd of Sep-
tember, and which he signed, was as follows : " I, Thomas
Oliver, being appointed by his Majesty to a seat at the
Council Board, upon, and in conformity to the late Act of
Parliament, entitled an ' Act for the better regulation of the
Province of Massachusetts Bay,' which being a manifest
infringement of the Charter rights and privileges of this
people, I do hereby, in conformity to the commands of the
body of this County now convened, most solemnly renounce
and resign my seat at said unconstitutional Board, and
hereby firmly promise and engage, as a man of honor and a
Christian, that I never will hereafter, upon any terms what-
soever, accept a seat at said Board on the present novel and
oppressive plan of Government." To this, the original
form, he added the words above recited. Judge Dauforth
and Judge Lee, who were also Mandamus Councillors, and
M"' Phipps, the sheriff, and M"' Mason, clerk of the County,
were compelled to submit to the same body, and make
written resignations.
Governor Oliver, as stated by himself, went into Boston,
and made assurances both to General Gage and to the
Admiral on the station, which prevented a body of troo})s
from being sent to disperse the large body of people who
assembled at Cambridge on this occasion ; and to these
assurances it was owing, undoubtedly, that the day passed
without bloodshed. But for the peaceable demeanor of
those whom he met in the morning, — the landholders of the
neighboring towns, — the first collision between the King's
troops and the inhabitants of Massachusetts, would have
occurred, very likely, at Cambridge, and not at Lexington.
A detachment was sent to the former town the day before,
to bring off some pieces of cannon, and from this circum-
stance arose, principally, the proceedings related by Governor
Oliver. Lidignant because the " redcoats " had been sent
upon such an errand, thousands from the surrounding
country assembled in the course of the day, (September 2,)
armed with guns, sticks, and other weapons, and when the
Lieutenant Governor's promise on his return from Boston,
rendered it certain that they would not be opposed by the
troops, they exacted from every official who lived at Cam-
bridge full compliance with their demands, as has been stated.
From this period Governor Oliver lived in Boston,
until March, 1776, when at the evacuation ho accompanied
the royal army to Halifax, and took passage thence to
England.
In 1778 he was proscribed and banished ; and the year
following was included in the conspiracy act. His estate
was confiscated. While in England he lived in retirement.
He died at Bristol, England, November '2'.), 1815, aged
eighty-two. Harriet,* his wife, a daughter of Colonel John
Vassal!, of Cambridge, died at the same place in 1808. His
elegant mansion at Cambridge was occupied by Governor
* Sabine is wrong here. Harriet was the Governor's 2' wife,
sole daughter and heiress of the Hon. Byam Freeman of the Island
of Antigua ; Eliz. Vassall was his 1" wife.
Gerry* for many years. It is said that he was a gentleman
of great mildness of temper, and politeness of manners.

Extracts from the Diary and Letters of Governor
Hutchinson of Mass.
1774, July. At an audience in London :
Kifi(/ George III. Is the present L. Governor [Thomas
Oliver] a relation to the late M'' Oliver ? [The last Lieut.-
Governor, Andrew Oliver, born 29 March 1706, died 23
March 1774.]
Gov Hutchinson. No, Sir, not of the same family, I
have no connection with him, nor did I ever let him know
that I had mentioned him as one of the persons I thought
might be proper for a L' Governor.
The King The present Gentleman, upon enquiry,
appeared under all circumstances the most proper.
1774, Dec. 10. Mi'Welbore Ellis made me a long visit;
and gave me an opportunity of explaining several parts of
General Gage's conduct : for his not laying the L' Gov'
under Arrest, when he came to him from the Mob. I shewed
him Judge Oliver's letter, which says the General told him
the L* Gou"' never let him know that they had made him
promise to return to them.
The new Lieut. -Governor was in jeopardy. The letter
of Judge Oliver has not been saved. It seems that the
Lieut.-Governor also called Oliver, though no relation, as
before explained, endangered the integrity of his allegiance
by his indecisive conduct with the Liberty men. He may
have prevaricated, or he may have lost nerve before them,
under fear of personal ill-usage, and it may have been
accidental his not telling General Gage every particular that
he might have detailed. On this subject Governor Hutchin-
son wrote to him very candidly from England, in a letter
bearing date Nov. 24, which is entered in the marble paper
Letter Book. He says: — "I should not treat you as a
friend if I represented the manner in which people express
themselves upon the subject of your resignation, different
from the whole truth. In general it is said, a man is
excusable who, when he is in the hands of 4000 people, and
threatened with death, submits to the terms which are
imposed upon him. Some have got it here, I know not
how, that before you went to y" Governor, more had been
said to you by the mob (for I call them mob, tho' free-
holders,) about your resigning, than you communicated, and
that if the Governor had known the whole, he would have
laid you under Arrest. Others say that unless our mobs
differ from those in England, no man is in danger of his
life in open day. It is impossible for people here to know
all the circumstances of y^ case. A succession of other great
and important events, some come and others coming, will
probably put an end to further speculation, and I fancy the
Answer you have already received, will be all you will
receive. I thought it best to take no notice of your motion
for an express order from the King, because, if circumstances
so alter as to make it advisable to re-assume your seat, you
may do it without such an order, as well as with ; and if
they should not so alter, it will be best you should not have
the order." He appears to have retained his seat for the
present.
177G, Feb. 14. Letters from Boston by the "Julius
Cfesar," a returned store-ship, at Plymouth : came out

1776, July 21. Lieutenant Gov. Oliver called to acquaint
me with his intention to apply to Lord North for his salary.
It seems, as I had it from M' Knox, that when Gen. Gage
was superceded in the command of the army, he was
promised, the whole of his salary as Governor should be
continued ; otherwise I should have thought the L' Gov.
might liave stood a chance for half, but now he can have no
more than his £300 as L. G.

Letter from the late James Russell Lowell to Captain E.
Spencer Vassall Henslowe of Colchester.
31 Loundes Square,
S.W.
11th August, 1884.
Sir,
I was born in the lionse built by Lieut. Governor
Thomas Oliver in Cambridge it still own it. I do not know
how I can describe it but by saying that it is a square
house built by wood & filled-in with bricks between the
timbers, though these bricks do not show on the outside the
house being sheathed with boards. It was built about 1764.
The house stands about half a mile West of that built by
Col. John Vassall & afterwards owned by my friend the
late M' Longfellow. Near that is an older house built by
John's brother Henry Vassall & known as the Vassall
House. My father's uncle on the mother's side married a
daughter of Henry Vassall many of whose letters to my
grandfather are in my possession. Tiiese refer mainly to
property in America which had been confiscated.
Two large European elms standing in front of my house
were probably planted by Go^•ernor Oliver. My father saw
him about eighty years ago in Bath or Bristol & found him
regretting his old home.
I shall take pleasure in writing home for a photograph
of the house & will send it you when I receive it.
I remain
Faithfully yours,
J. R. Lowell.

expence to support the royal cause, he left his possessions
there to the ravagers ; and having fortunately, very large
estates in Jamaica, he came, with his family, to England.
He carried his loyalty so far as not to use the family motto,
" Scepe pro Rege, semper pro Repnblica." He has left four
sons to inherit a very fine fortune (p. 898).

Oliver v. Oliver.
14 July 1663. Humbly complaining yo'' Oratrix Eliza-
beth Oliver of the City of Bristoll, Spinster (an Infant
under the age of 21), by Gerard Lane, her Guardian, that
whereas Robert Olliver, late of Bristoll, Haberdasher, yo''
Oratrix's late Father, beinge in his lifetime possessed of a
personal estate of £1000 and upwards, did on the 12"" Oct.
1650 make his last Will, and did bequeathe to yo"' Oratrix,
beinge his Daughter by his form'' Wife Elizabeth, £100, to
bee paid unto her by his Ex'or when shee should accomplishe
her full age of 16 yeares, to bee disposed after his decease
by his Ex'or, at interest, for her best advantage, for which
his Will was, his Ex'or should render to yo"^ Oratrix a true
accompt at her said age of 16, and pay the same with the
principle accordingly. And of the same Will yo"^ Oratrix
her father made his Brother Richard Olliver of the Citty of
Bristoll, Lynnendraper, sole Ex'or, and shortly after dyed.
By and after whose decease Richard Olliver possessed him-
selfe of all yo' Oratrix her Father's goods, ready money,
wares, and m'chandizes; and yo'' Oratrix further sheweth
that shee hath lately accomplished her age of 16 yeares, and
Richard Oliver now refuseth to pay the £100 to yo'' Oratrix,
or to give her any accompt of the interest, altho' hee cannot
but acknowledge that he did never put the £100 at interest,
but kepte the same alwayes in his owne hands, and iniployed
it wholy in his trade of a Lynnendraper, and thereby hath
gotten much more then after the rate of six pounds p. centu'
p. ann., yo' Oratrix her Father left noe other Child but
yo'" Oratrix, and yo'' Oratrix her Father received a greate
porc'on of money, with yC Oratrix her Mother, in marriage.
Now for that yo' Oratrix is utterly remedilesse in the pre-
mises by the strict rules of the Com'ou Law of this Realme.
Neith. can yo'' Oratrix make appeare what goods have come
to the hands of Richard Olliver, for that hee hath not
exhibited any Inventory of her Father's estate into the saide
p'rogative Cor' To the end that Richard Olliver may upon
his oath answer all the premises, and discover and sett forth
whether Robert Olliver did not make his Will in the man'
aforesaide, and that Richard Olliver may be ordered to pay
her, she desii'es that a Writt of Subpoena bee directed to
him.

Oliver v. Oliver.
2'"' Dec. 1672. Humbly complaining yo"" Orator Edward
Oliver of the City of Bristoll, Lynnendraper, that he and
Richard Oliver of the said City, Lynnendraper, his Brother,
being both educated and lirought up in the said trade and
profession of a Lynendraper and Merchandize, were both
well contented to enter into a Copartncrshipp in the said
Trade of a Lynendraper and Merchandizing, upon the
Trust and confidence in each other nothing should be acted
but with the privity and consent of each other. In pur-
suance whereof, according to an Agreement between them,
Richard Oliver and yo'' Orator did bringe in a joynt stocke
of £1500 apiece in moneys, goods, and wares, and did
thereupon execute an Indenture dated the 26"' Dec. 1667,
whereby they did covenant to continue Copartners in the
said Trade during the terme of 5 yeares (if they should by
mutual consent both agree soe long together), and they
were to keepe in the Warehouse or Shojip of the Messuage
wherein Richard Oliver then dwelt, books of Accompt,
which were alwaies to be at such place of the said Messuage
or Shopp where both parties might from tyme to tyme, and
at all tymes, viewe and peruse the same, and yo' Orator
hoped and believed Richard Oliver would faithfully have
performed all the said Agreements, and in that confidence,
during all the partnershipp, left the management of the
OLIVER FAMILY.

whole Trade to liim till aboute 3 months since, at which
tyme, finding just cause to suspect Richard Oliver's dealings,
yo"^ Orator dissolved the partnershipp. But now soe it is
That Kichard Oliver having soe managed the joynt stocke,
privately and indirectly converting it to his owiie profitt,
that noe profitt at all will redound to yo' Orator, as Richard
Oliver pretendeth, and he refuseth therefore to give yo''
Orator any accompt, and Richard Oliver, since the com'ence-
ment of the Copartnershipp, removed himselfe and all the
portable Stocke unto another house in a Streete or place
called the Castle Green, within the City of Bristoll, and
hath also caused to be taken in his owne name, and not in
the names of the Copartners, all or the greatest part of the
Contracts, bargains, bonds, etc., whatsoever for all goods
deliv'ed forth upon creditt, and hath also kepte the Bookes
of Accompt of all Trade doings from the viewe and perusall
of yo'' Orator untill yo'' Orator, having found the frowardnes
and aversenes of Richard Oliver fi'om giving any accompt
at all, did aboute 3 months since give unto him publicke
and lawfull warninge to breake off the Copartnershipp, and
within 30 dales after to give a true, just, and generall
accompt, accordinge to the Agreement, but Richard Oliver,
combining with severall of the debtors and other persons to
yo'' Orator as yet unknowne, they doe now seeke to set
aside the recited Indenture, and all the Covenants thei'ein,
that they may defraud yo'' Orator, not onely of his part but
of the profitts thereof, prays they may be subpcEnaed.
Answer of Richard Oliver. (Corner scorched.)
It is true they were both educated and brought up as
Lynendrapers .... and Complainant being then owte of
.... and having little or nothing to doe, and Defendant,
having a very considerable trade, and a very good shopp of
goods, and a lardge stocke of his owne, aboute December
1667, was solicited to become Copartner with Complainant,
and being somewhat unwilling thereto, Plaintiff's Wife very
much solicited Defendant to yield thereto, whereupon,
Defendant being willing to help the Plaintiff his Brother,
he consented, and agreed to bring in £1.500 as his lialfe
parte, and Defendant agreed to make his parte equall, and
Articles of Agreement were drawne up, and Complainant
desired this Defendant to meete him to scale and execute
the same, and on Defendant observing it was saide Plaintiff
had broughte in £1500, which was not true. Defendant
refused to complete the Articles, and Complainant promised
it should soone be broughte in, and desired it should be noe
obstruction to the sealinge, and Defendant relying on his
promise was prevailed on by Plaintiff' to scale the said
Articles, as in the Bill recited. Defendant had large
quantities of goods, much more than his share, and kept
them in the stocke, hoping Complainant would bringe in
his money, but he never broughte in £1500, but after he
had broughte in aboute £578 he soone after tooke oute of
the Stocke £453 to his owne private use, and att another
tyme having broughte in £156 more he did take it oute
within 10 dayes after, and severall other sumes of money,
and severall great quantities of goods, and Defendant, to
carry on the Trade, was necessitated not only to keepe
much more then his share but also to take more of his owne
money rather than suffer the Trade to fall. Defendant
denieth that Complainant left the whole management to
him for such reasons as in the I>ill given, but saith Com-
plainant was not only remiss in bringinge in his money but
was also negligent and wilfull, and contrary to the Defendant's
desire, and to the Agreement, neglected the management,
to Defendant's great damage and trouble, who was forced
to take the management. Complainant (as Defendant
humbly conceiveth), out of a desire to get what money he
could, did sometimes act therein, and received severall
sumes of money belonging to the Trade, and severall goods,
and converted the same to his owne particular use, and yet
Defendant did beare with Complainant, being his Brother,
for severall j'eares, till finding Complainant had really taken
more money owte than hee brought in. Defendant began a
little more neerelie to looke into his affaires, and Plaintiff,
perceiving hee had got as much as was likely to bee gotten
by Defendant, did breake oft' the partnershipp aboute the
tyme raenc'oned, because hee had an intention to defraud
Defendant. Defendant denyeth all the charges, but saith
Complainant hath been very ungi'atefull to him, he having
taken Complainant to be partner upon noe other grounds
than to help and advance his Brother, being then owte of
trade and having a wife and many children.

Oliver v. Oliver.
3"' Feb. 1672. Richard Oliver of Bristol, Lynendraper,
complaining that in 1667 one Edward Oliver of Bristol,
Lynendraper, yo"^ Orator's Brother, solicited yo'' Orator to
become a partner with him in the Trade, whereupon, by
order of Edward Oliver, Articles of Agreement indented
were drawn up dated the 26"' Dec. 1667, and it was recited
that each had brought in £1500, and it was agreed they
should be partners for 5 yeares, if they should soe long
agree together (as in the previous Suit), and they met at
a Scrivener's house, w^hen yo' Orator upon perusall that
Edward Oliver had brought in £1500, whereas he had then
brought in little or nothing, refused to scale until the £1500
should be brought in, and Edward declared the money was
then ready and should be speedily brought in, whereupon
yo'' Orator believing him signed, sealed, and delivered the
Articles, not thinking that Edward Oliver would take any
advantage, but soe it is that yo'' Orator having brought in
about £2o00 he and Edward continued Joynt Traders for
about 4^ yeares, during which tyme Edward brought in but
£500, and the greatest part was soone taken out againe by
him, and yo'' Orator was enforced to drawe monies from
several persons wherewith to carry on the Trade, to his
greate damage and prejudice, yet notwithstanding suft'ei'ed
the Trade to go on till about six months past, at which
tyme Edward Oliver, supposing that there was good profitt
made, pretended thac he disliked to manage the trade any
longer with yo'' Orator, and demanded an Accompt from
the beginning of the Copartnership, and an allowance of the
moiety of the Stock and profitts, insisting that it appeared
by the said Indenture he had brought in £1500, which
unjust demand yo'' Orator refusing to comply with, Edward
Oliver hath lately preferred his Bill against him, designing
to enforce yo'' Orator to a satisfaction of his unreasonable
demands. Edward Oliver, tho' bound to improve the trade,
has neglected it, and did by himselfe and his Agents sell
severall goods and wares, and take severall sums of money,
and converted them to his owne private use, and he hath
caused to be made many false entries in the Buokes, by
which he hath reaped greate profitt to his owne particular
and sole use, prays that he may be subpoenaed.
Answer of Edward Oliver .... (as in former Suit) ....
the Articles were not drawn by Defendant alone, as in the
Bill mentioned. Complainant gave notice to Defendant to
meete him at his owne house, where the Articles were sealed,
and at the reading Complainant did not at all scruple to
signe, or soe much as questioned Defendant about the
£1500, nor had hee reason soe to doe, for Defendant did
then, or in very short tyme after, bring in money and goods
to the value of £800, and offered to call in soe much more
of his money (then placed out upon some good securities as
he acquainted Complainant with) as should make up the

just sum, but Complainant desired Defendant not to bring
in to the Joynt Stoclv noe more money than he had then
brought, aflBrminge tliey had then more money than they
could imploy to any advantage, and advised Defendant to
continue the residue of the £1500 att Interest, upon their
Joynt Accompt, which Defendant agreed to doe, and Com-
plainant having severall tymes aflfirmed to Defendant that
if he should happen to have Children of his owne, yet that he
intended to give one halfe of his Estate among Defendant's
Children, and thereupon alleged that there needed not any
Exact or Wary dealinges betweene them, and likewise
affirmed the Articles were signed for Defendant's security,
if Complainant should dye. Defendant denieth he ever
made any promises of bringing in any more moneys or
goods, in regard Complainant often told him they had Stock
enough, and refused to have any more .... the Trade went
on for 4^ yeares because Defendant was unwilling to contend
with his Brother, altho' he had greate cause given to breake
oflT sooner, but now at length being denyed the Custody or
use of the bookes of Accompt, and Complainant in many
particulars acting contrary to the Articles of Agreement,
Defendant was enforced to demand an Accompt from the
beginning, and an allowance of the moiety of the Slock and
profitts. Defendant having paide in part, and agreed to
answer the residue of his full porc'on of £1500, and De-
fendant being denyed by Complainant, did lately preferre
his Bill against him. Defendant did put forth the residue
of the £1500 at interest and is ready to answer one moyety
thereof during the tynie the partnership continued. De-
fendant did use his utmost endeavours to manage and
improve the Trade until! lie was hindi'ed and enforced by
Complainant to leave the management thereof to him more
then he was willing, hoping thereby to Continue and pre-
serve Love and Friendship betweene them. Defendant
believeth Complainant never brought in his full porc'on.
Defendant denieth he ever willfully neglected the manage-
ment. He says it is true some few months after the Co-
partnership began he did, with Complainant's consent,
drawe out about £80, and afterwards some small pettie
sumes, but the exact sumes and tymes he doth not remember,
and referreth himselfe to the Bookes, by which it will
appeare that Complainant had likewise drawen out severall
sumes of money for his owne private use, and particularly
at one tyme £70 apiece were drawue by them, by Joynt
consent, computed betweene them to be the profitt and
proceeds of one particular Voyage of a Ship. He denieth
he sold goods or took money, but confesseth that since the
partnership was broken and the bookes kepte from him he
hath sold some small parcells of goods belonginge to the
Trade of the value of £30 or thereabouts with the intention
to be accomptable for the same.

Chancery Proceedings, Mitford Dxx.
Oliver v. Oliver.
26 Nov. 1685. Humbly Complaining yo' Oratrixes and
Orator Susanna Oliver the elder of Bristol, Widow, Relict of
Richard Oliver the elder, late of the said Citty, Linendraper,
dec, Susanna Oliver the younger and Richard Oliver the
younger, Sonne and Daughter of Richard Oliver the elder,
dec, and Infants under the age of 21, by Susanna their
Mother and next friend. Whereas Richard Oliver the elder
did on the 15"' Sep. 1676 make his last will (will recited at
great length) and after which about the 10"' Dec. 1679
Richard Oliver died possessed of a greate personal estate to
the value of at leaste £4000, consisting in ready money,
Jewells, rings, household stutfe, wares, Merchandizes, Ad-
ventures both at home and abroad, debts in England and
beyond the Seas, by contracts and booke debts, bonds,
mortgages, and other Securities, Shipps, and shares of
Shipps, riggings and other tackle and furniture belonging
to them, Messuages, Farmes, Lands, and tenements in
England and Plantations beyond the Seas, and other goods
and chattells, and Thomas Oliver and John Napper by virtue
of the Will have possessed themselves of all or the greatest
part of the Estate, they thereby desiring private gaine and
advantage, have, as they pretend, prevailed with the other
surviving Ex'or (John Hulbert dying in the life of Testator),
not to intermeddle, and at other times they pretend Testator
made noe such Will, but that they have some other right
and title to his estate, and not as Ex'ors, whereas they knowe
the contrary and have the original Will in their custody,
and they further shew that Thomas Oliver and John Napper
have not only called in and received severall sums of money
that at Testator's death were lett out at interest on good
securities, but designing to themselves private advantages,
have either taken new Securities from persons that were
debtors for the same to the Testatory estate, or placed the
same out againe upon other Securities, or employed them
about theire respective trades and dealings or otherwise to
theire owne use, and have also sold all the goods, wares, and
merchandize and converted them into money, and some
parts have putt forth at interest in theire owne names and
received the profitt thereof for theire owne account and
benefit, and other parts they have traffianed and traded
with and putt owt upon the Bottomree, and they have also
caused severall sums of money to be spent and imbezzled
in divers causes, suites created and sett upp purposely for
an ombrage to collour their unjust desigues to devoitre the
estate, and they have exhibited noe Inventory of deceased's
Estates, or if they have it is imp'fect, and Thomas Oliver
and John Napper, by combination betweene themselves and
the other Ex'or, and with Dame Anne Lloyd, Mary Cox,
and Elizabeth Thurston, who are tenants of part of thestate
of Riciiard Oliver, and with other persons unknowne to yo''
Oratrixes and Orator have refused to pay to Susanna the
£300 and to give her any account of the Testatory estate,
and Dame Anne Lloyd, Mary Cox, and Elizabeth Thurston
refuse to pay theire rent to Susanna Oliver the Mother, and
Thomas Oliver beinge nowe lone in the world and John
Napper having some yeares since failed in his trade and com-
pounded his debts at 12s. i'ld. in the pound, soe thestate in
theire hands is in great danger to be lost or squandered
away to yo'' Oratrixes' and Orator's ruine without the
speciall aid of this hon'able Court. To thend therefore that
Thomas Oliver and John Napper may answer all and
singular the p'ticulers charged humbly pray they may be
subposnaed.

Joynt and severall Answere and Answeres of Thomas
Oliver and John JNapper, 2 of the Defendants to the Bill of
Complaint of Susanna Oliver, Widow, and Susanna Oliver
and Richard Oliver, Infants, by the said Susanna Oliver,
their mother and next freind. The Defendants believe it
to be true that Richard Oliver, linnendrapcr, did make his
last Will, and made these Defendants and John Hulbert
and Thomas Speed his Ex'ors, and dyed on the 26"' Nov.
1681, and not in Dec. 1679 as in the Bill suggested, which
said John Hulbert dyed in the lifetyme of Testator, and
Thomas Speed refused to joyne in the execuc'on and re-
nounced probate, whereupon these Defendants at the earnest
request of Susanna the relict, proved the Will in the Pre-
rogative Court of Canterbury, and tooke upon them the
burden of the execuc'on, and tooke and duely exhibited an
Inventory of all goods, chatties, etc., etc., which were then
before any wayes come to theire hands, each speakinge for
himselfe, a true copy of which Defendants have annexed to
theire Answer, as P' Schedule, and pray the same may be
received as parte thereof, and Thomas Oliver saith that the
Testator having willed that all his vessells of Plate and
household stutfe (all which are comprised and appraised)
should bee divided (as in Will), and Susanna Oliver the
Mother being desirous to have the use and enjoyment of
all the saide Plate and household stuffe and affirming that
the household stuffe were overpraised, shee desired that shee
might Iniy the halfe parte appointed to be kept for the
Daughter at the prce of £66 8s., to be paidc the 25'" March
1683, and Thomas Oliver conceiving it more for the advant-
age of Susanna the Daughter to convert her halfe parte into
money then to keepe it in kinde, shee being of tender yeeres,
hee sold it to Susannah the Mother at the saide price,
and tooke bonde of her of £132, dated .... with con-
dic'on subscribed for payment as aforesaide, to the use
and benefit of Susanna the Daughter, but Susanna the
Mother hath not paid any parte or any interest for the for-
bearance thereof, and Thomas Oliver is ready to produce
the Bond, and John Napper saith the Ship Victory and the
adventure in her beinge ready to saile on a voyage to Sea
at the tyme of Testator's decease, and after her proceeding
on the saide voyage it being very doubtfall whether the same
Shipp and adventure in her were lost or safe, hee with
Thomas Oliver caused £300 to be insured on her, and after-
wards it appeared that the Shipp and adventure were lost,
wliereupou John Napper recovered upon the Insurance
£234 and no more, and hee also received £160, parte of the
£170 which the Shipp Diligence was appraised at and sold
for and no more, and the £10 residue thereof Thomas
Oliver saith that hee received, and John Napper saith that
the Shipp George feared to have been lost, being disabled in
Virginia and haled up there, hee sold for the most hee could
get, which was £50 and no more, and both Defendants say as
to the cash in the house mentioned to have been but £250, it
was indeed £290 in ready money as afterwards appeared, and
no more, each speakinge for himselfe, of which £290 John
Napper received £275 lO.s., and Thomas OliVer received the
£14 10s. residue thereof, and both say as to the Tobacco in
the Cellar, appraised at £49 10s., Thomas Oliver tooke 2
Caskes which hee saith hee made use of himselfe, one of
which weighed neere aboute 69 lbs. sound Tobacco for which
hee is willing to allowe 12'' p. lb., and the other weighed
aboute 70 lbs. of unsound and defunct Tobacco for which
hee is willing to allow 6'' p. lb. which price hee conceiveth is
the full worth thereof or more, and John Napper saith that
all the residue in the Cellar and the weights and Scales and
an old fornace belonging to Testator's Dwelling house hee
sold for £47 6s. and no more. Thomas Oliver saith as to
the £6 19s., a booke debt from Richard Collins, it was for a
p'cell of Tobacco or other Merchandise sold him in Testator's
life, and Thomas Oliver abated him 19s. for errors which
appeared in the account and received £6 in full thereof, and
as to £25 12s. 9^^., a Bond debt from Geoi'ge Branch, John
Napper saith it was for Tobacco sold him in Testator's life,
and John Napper abated him 17s. 9(i. for dampnified
Tobacco in the parcell and received £24 15s. in full, and as
to the £3 due by John Webb, both Defendants say that
John Webl) became insolvent and dyed, and the debt was
irrecoverably lost, and as to the £6 14s. charged as a
booke debt upon Thomas Poj)e, both say it was for an
adventure sent to .Sea for him by Testator and was wholy
lost, and Defendants, each speaking for himselfe, never
received any satisfacc'on, and as to all the other debts John
Napper saith hee hath received them, as in the Schedule
expressed, save only that hee abated to Edward Dowting
and James Pope £10 a peece, as is usual in such cases, and
Thomas Oliver saith the particuler sums of £10, £14 10s.,
and £6, and the Tobacco amounting to £5 4s. is all that
ever came to his hands of the estate of Testator, and Thomas
Oliver saith at the tyme of Testator's death hee was Tenant
to him of the Copyhold tenement in the Will mentioned,
and at the tyme Defendant had severall Cattle feeding
thereon, and the Lord of the Maunour whereof the Copyhold
tenement is parcell tooke 3 of them to his owne use for
3 Heriotts due to him upon the decease of Richard Oliver,
his imediate tenant, which 3 Cattle were worth at the tyme
£10 in money, or more, and hee also saith that soone after
the decease of Testator hee laid out at severall times £5 in
housekeeping and other necessaries for the Complainants,
the Mother, and the Children, for both which sums, amount-
ing to £15, and also for the £5 Legacy given to him, and
for the other necessary expenses by him at severall times
disbursed in journeys from his dwelling house at Lee neere
Malmesbnry to the Citty of Bristoll, being aboute 20 miles

THE HISTORY OF ANTIGUA.
6"' Schedule hee hath truly set downe, and liee hath put
to interest, as in the T"" Schedule, and hee exhibits all
the Schedules as partes of his Answers, and both Defendants,
each speakinge for himselfe, doe deny tiiat Richard Oliver
was possessed of a personal estate, as in the Bill mentioned,
or of any more than in their Answers expressed, to any
knowledge or beliefe of theirs, and they deny they pretend
to any other right than as Ex'ors in Trust. Neither hath
either the originall Will in his custody, but they beleeve it
remaines in the P.C.C, the probate whereof John Napper
hath in his keeping, ready to bee produced, and they never
called in money, or received any sums other than expressed,
and they deny that they have converted the Testator's
estate to their owne use, or have caused it to bee spent or
imbeazelled in needlesse Suites, or otherwise, and Thomas
Oliver saith hee hath kept noe other account then hee hath
sett forth, for that he intermedled noe further in the
Admiuistration, save only in coining to Bristoll from time
to time to advise and assist therein, and John Napper saith
he hath truly putt downe, and will he ready to produce the
bookes, and the Defendants say that betweene the making
of his Will and his death Testator suffered very great losses
and was much impoverished in his estate, wherefore they
could not pay Susanna the Mother her Legacy of £300, but
they are ready to come to a just account, and to dispose of
the remainder of the estate as the Court shall direct, and
they say there are severall debts demanded of them, as due
by Testator, the particulers of which are not yet delivered
to them, and they are now sued by William Crabb of
Bristoll, Esq., for a great sum of money, as due to him by
Testator, and they will bring the same to a Tryall at Law
at the next Bristoll Assizes, and make the best defence they
can, and they say they have great cause to beleeve Susanna
Oliver the Mother and her Sister Lidia Hersent, now Wife
of John Gregory of Bristoll, or one of them, hath taken and
concealed some of the moneys and other things belonging
to the Estate of Testator, for that they were living with
him in the Mansion house before and at the time of his
decease, and they, or one of them, tooke and kept the keys
of Testator's Closetts, Scriptors, Truncks, chests, boxes, and
drawers for some considerable time aftei' his decease, and
they further say they have been lately disturbed in the
possession of the house and premises demised by the afore-
saide Lease by one James Motley, which they believe hee
hath so done by the instigation of Susanna Oliver the Mother.

Oliver v. Goning.
23'''i Oct. 168(1. John Oliver of Bristol, Ironmonger,
and Hannah his Wife, Elizabeth Lander, and Mary Lander,
by the said John Oliver their Guardian, humbly complaining
that in 1658 Edward Lander of Bristol, Ironmonger, Father
of yo' Oratrixes Hannah, Elizabeth, and Mary, and one
Joseph Collins became indebted to John Gonning of the
said City, Esq., in the sum of £1900 upon their own
security, as yo'' Orator has been informed, in some short
time after which Collins dyed, and immediately after John
Gonaing, for his better security, made Edw'ard Lander
acknowledge a Judgment in one of H.M.'s Courts at West-
minster, and shortly after John Goning dyed, after whose
decease the interest in the Judgment did come to Mary
Goning his Widow and Executrix, to whom Edward Lander
did from time to time pay all interest, and Edward Lander
dyed intestate in 1668 possessed of a considerable estate,
sufficient to discharge the Judgment and leave a consider-
able overplus, after whose death divers meetings were held
between Mary Goning the Mother and Eobert her Son,
afterwards Sir Eobert Goning, on behalf of his Mother, and
Hannah Lander, Relict of Edward and Jlother of yo''
Oratrixes, on their behalf, and among other matters, it was
agreed that Hannah Lander should take out Letters of
Adm"" in her own name of Edward Lander's Estate, and
assign them to Mary Goning, and deliver to her all goods,
etc., of Edward Lander in payment of the debt, in con-
sideration whereof Mary Goning should pay to yo'' Oratrixes
Hannah, Elizabeth, and Mary £400, to be equally divided,
to continue in her hands till Security should be given by
them to save her and heirs harmless, or till they should
attain to 21, or be married, Mary Goning in the meantime
to pay the interest for their maintenance, and Hannah
Lander did assign the Adm"" and deliver the goods, and
the debt was i3aid with all interest, and during the life of
Mary Goning the interest of the £400 was paid, but she,
having made her Will and appointed Sir Robert her Ex'or,
dyed, and he took on him Execution, and did pay some part
of the interest due, and did promise to pay the principal
and the residue of the interest, and said the money was safe
in his hands and should be paid to a farthing, and did often
in the presence of Dame Anne his wife acknowledge the
debt, and but a little before his death did likewise in her
presence offer to pay the £400, yo^ Oratrixes giving security
not being of age, but they thought the money secure, and
■were not willing to receive it till they had opportunity to
dispose of it, and Sir Robert Gonning dyed intestate in
Oct. 1679, and Dame Anne hath taken Adm™ of his Estate
amounting to £20,000 and upwards, and hath acknowledged
the debt, but nevertheless confederates with divers other
persons to oppress yo'' Orators and evade payment.
9"' July 1687. Answer of Dame Anne Goning, Widow.
She hath heard that Edward Lander had dealings with
John Goning, but doth not know that Elizabeth Goning or
Sir Robert were concerned therein. Both Elizabeth Goning
and Sir Robert were moneyed persons, and had generally
moneys lying dead by them, therefore she kno'ws no reason
why they .should not have paid the Complainants if indebted.
Chancery Proceedings, Hamilton 251, No. 19.
Oliver v. Poulter.
5"i May 1694. Humbly complaining yo'' Orators John
OUiver, Richard Gibbons, and Richard Taylor, all of Bristoll,
Ironmongers, that .John Poulter, late of the Burrough of
Truro, Ironmonger, being indebted to John Olliver in the
sum of £50, did on the 10"' June 1691 execute a penal
Bond of £100, for payment on the 25"' July next ensuing.
He was also indebted to the other Complainants. At his
death he was seised of a considerable estate in Lands in the
Parish of Cambron, Cornwall, and of a Messuage in Truro.
He made his Will and appointed Katharine Poulter his
then Wife and Jane Poulter his only Daughter and Heir
Executrixes, and shortly after in 169- dyed. Jane was
then 17 ; and Katharine and Jane, combining with Peter
Courtney of Truro, and Peter Courtney of Lyons Inn,
London, his Nephew, refuse to pay. (Very long.)
