had been a famed pedestrian, having visited most parts of England and Scotland on foot; nor did he confine his walks to his own country only, but visited many parts of the Continent, such as Flanders, France, Portugal, Gibraltar, the island of Malta, &c. His usual beverage and food when travelling was tea, bread and butter. His walks were long and rapid-walking from Margate to London, and back again, in two days, spending in the journey only a few pence. In one of his tours he was shut in a fort, when it was besieged by the French; he continued there during the siege, and was taken prisoner when it capitulated; but was set at liberty when the object of his pursuit was known.
