cuated Philadelphia, 1778, he was ap pointed to command the American garri fon. Here he lived in an expensive style, fupported by unsuccessful privateering and trade; and a claim which he fet up against the American government being difallowed by the commiffioners, he gave way to intemperate conduct and exprettions, which occafioned his being tried by a court-marcal and reprimanded. From this time he formed a defign to quit the fervice, and, 1780, opened a correfpondence with Sir Henry Clinton to deliver up West point, where le commanded. Major André was fent up the river, in the Vulture floop, to confer with him, and, being intercepted, fuffered an ignominious death, however Washington wished to fave him by exchanging him for Arnold, who got fafe on-board the floop, and was to receive gesol, and the rank of brigadier-general and colonel' pay in the English service, in reward of his treafon. In 1-81 he was fent to the Chesapeak, to destroy the stores at Richmond and Portsmouth, and escaped the plan Laid by Washington to catch him. He retired to New York, and fortuna ely was not with the army when it capitulated. Hisdift enterprize was agamit New London, where he destroyed the shipping.

P. 581, a. The late Lord Stonefield fat as one of the judges of the Court of Seffion exactly 39 years, having been appointed to the bench June 16, 1762. He fucceeded Lord Tinwald, who was named one of the judges in 1744, on the deceafe of Lord Rowftos, the latter having been appointed fo far back as 1710. These three judges, therefore, fat on the bench, in fuccettion to each other, for upwards of 90 years.

DEATHS.

the

heireffes of the Rev. John W. by whom he had 13 children; eight of whom, viz. Edward, John, and Richard, with five daughters, attained the age of 21. He died in 1793, at the advanced age of 90, after a life of the most unfullied honour and reputation. He had the great affliction of lofing, a fhort time previous to his own decease, his eldest fon, Edward, the heir of his virtues and celebrity. This gentleman, at the age of 60, fell a facrifice to a painful and lingering malady. His profefli inal character, formed chiefly under the tuition of his experienced father, was held in great and deserved ettimation. He was appointed one of the furgeons of the Manchetter Infirmary at its original inftitution, and continued his fervices to that charity, with the most unremitted attention and fuccefs, for 36 years. As an expert and fuccefsful operator, few have exceeded him. Courteous in his manners, cheerful and engaging as a companion, fincere and valuable as a friend, fociety in him lost a moft excellent member, His brother, Richard Hall, whofe lofs we are now lamenting, was born at Manchetter in 1751. His clatica! ftudies were directed by the Rev. Mr. Clayton, whofe fchool was then in great repute. At the age of 18 he determined upon engaging in his father's profeffion. After profiting by the practical knowledge and example of his father and brother, and deriving all the advantages of their united instruction, he removed to London for the completion of his ftudies. He became an attentive fargical pupil at St. Bartholemew's hofpital; and diligently availed himself of the excellent inftructions of Doctors Hunter and Denman in anatomy and midwifery. In this latter department of the profeffion he had been early initiated by his domeftic inftructors, whofe celebrity and extensive practice in the obstetric art have been feldom if ever furpatfed by any provincial practitioner. Thus, having united theory to practice, he was early appointed one of the furgeons of the Manchester Infirmary, and continued his fervices to that charity for a period of 19 years. His method of operating was diftinguished by dexterity and neatness. A- an accoucheur, his practice was not only highly refpectable, but very extenfive and emmently fuccefsful. From his private minutes it appears that he brought into the world 3800 chil dren. During the courfe of his practice he had inoculated feveral thoufands for the fmail-pox, and is faid never to have loft a fingle patient! On the establishment of the Lying-in hofpital at Manchester, he was appointed one of the men-midwifes, and contributed greatly, both by his perfonal exertions amongst his numerous friends, and by his liberal benefactions, to

the bar in 1760, but an early marriage induced him to relinquith the profpects of the bar for the more certain fituation abovementioned, which he followed for near 40 years. He taught two claffes of civil law; in the firft, delivering lectures on the Inftitutions, in the other, on the Pandects, of Juftinian; and, 1771, found leifure to publish part of them in quarto, in his "Origin of the Distinction of Ranks," which contains a sketch of his opinions refpecting the chief of what, in the civil law, are called the rights of perfons, and alfo a very short view of the first part of his lectures on government. In 1787 he published, alfo in quarto, the first volume of "An hiftorical View of the English Government," tracing the progreffive changes of property, ftate of the people and government, from the Saxons to the acceffion of the Houfe of Stuart. In politicks he thought with the late Marquis of Rockingham and Mr. Fox; and, though he regretted the exceffes to which revoJutionary principles had been carried in France, he looked forward to a more equitable form of government at a general peace. Robert Davidson, efq. advocate, is appoint ed to fucceed him in his profefforship. June 1. At Manchester, aged 50, Richard Hall, efq. furgeon. To record the virtues and talents of deceased worthy and eminent characters is not only a grateful office claimed by Friendship, but likewife an important debt due to Society. No apology, therefore, will be neceffary for the following brief notice of the lamented members of a family who have been diftinguished, for, near a century paft, as eminent examples of fkill, integrity, and benevolence, in the various branches of the medical profeffion; a profeffion dignified by its peculiar province, that of mitigating human fuffering in all its variety of wretchednefs! As a member of this ufeful and honourable profeffion, the subject of this memorial had the merit and felicity to preserve, undiminished, to the time of his death, that profeffional reputation and general esteem fo long enjoyed by his deceafed father and brother. The former, Richard Hall, efq. was defcended from a very old and refpectable family, originally from Wales, the oldest branch of which now refides at Hermitage, in the county of Chester. He was the fecond fon of Edward H. efq. of Warmingham Forge, in Cheshire, and was born there in 1703. He studied phyfick and furgery under Dr. Clayton, of Manchester; and, at a fuitable period, began to practife in the fame place, where, by his great skill and amiable quafities, he foon obtained a very extenfive business in his own and several neighbour ing counties. He married, early in life, Grace Wall, one of the daughters and coGENT. MAG. July, 1801.*

the

the advancement of that inftitution. The great and merited reputation he obtained among the higher ranks of the community in the obstetric art júftly entitle him to be held forth as an example to the younger members of the profeffion; for, in the exercife of the delicate and important duties of an accoucheur, fomething farther is affuredly required than manual skill and medical science. A conduct uniformly decorous, gentleness and delicacy of behaviour, and ftrict purity of morals, are effentially neceffary to engage the confidence, and conciliate the esteem, of perfons of education and fenfibility. Few poffeffed these amiable qualities, so requifite for diftinguished fuccefs, in a greater degree than Mr. Richard Hall. On the raifing of the Royal Manchester and Salford Volunteer Corps he was appointed, with general approbation, furgeon to the regiment. To the duties of his ftation he devoted himself with an ardour and benevolence alike honourable to his character as a furgeon and a man. Amidst a large and crowded manufacturing town the office of furgeon to a numerous volunteer corps is not a fituation merely calculated for oftentatious parade; for, fuperadded to the acciden's which neceffarily occur in training a regiment, epidemic difeafes, and other complaints incidental to the fedentary and unhealthy occupations of a manufacturer, frequently prevail. Not only to the fick foldiers of his regiment were his advice, his purfe, and his time, devoted, but like wife to their wives and families, when labouring under difeafe or poverty. Indeed, they looked up to him as a father and a friend, who felt no happiness greater than that of alleviating their diftreffes. The high degree of estimation in which his character and fervices were held by his brother-officers cannot be more strongly exemplified than by stating, that a large and elegant filver cup was prefented to him, on which is engraved the following infcription: "The Officers of the Royal Manchester and Salford Volunteer Régiment of Infantry prefent this Cup to their Surgeon, Mr. R. Hal, as a token of their fenfe of his unremitting attention in the fervice of the corps, and of the zeal he has uniformly evinced in the caufe of the best of Sovereigns. Manchester, June 4, 1800. A compliment fo diftinguished, and fo well merited, confers equal honour on the givers and the receiver. His remains were interred, on Thursday the 4th of June, in the family vault at the collegiate church, with military honours. The weeping multitudes, collected to behold this melancholy proceffion, most expreffively atteft the great refpect he enjoyed during his life, and the affictive lofs the publick has fuftained by his death.
