even austerity of his conduct, might to some men appear censurable, yet they were by no means unbecoming the character or deportment of an upright magistrate. In cases of a common or trivial nature, he at times seemed to evince a laxity of attention; but although he might be supposed to slumber over what was unworthy of the exercise of his great powers, yet justice was never asleep. With an excellent fund of manly eloquence, with a mind for. cible and vehement, when roused into an extraordinary display of his penetrating vigour, he shone most when combating the subtle ies or genius of a counsel for a prisoner. Thus, in the words of a distinguished actor, like a great performer on the stage, he reserved himself, as it were for the last act, and after he had played his part with dignity, resolved to finish it with honour." 3. Lieutenant-colonel John. Harris Cruser.

4. At Cheltenham, suddenly, captain Lawrence Bruce, of Isling

ton.

5. Sir Boyle Roche, created an Irish baronet November 30th, 1782. He was the descendant of a respectable family, said to be a ju. nior branch of the ancient bronial family of Roche, visco pt Fermoy. He entered carly into the military service, and distinguished himself in America, particularly at the taking of the Moro Fort, at the Ha. vannah. On leaving the army he obtained a seat in parliament, where he was constantly in his place; and we have heard it stated, that, such was his humour and drollery, he could at any time change the

temper of the house. Through his pleasant interference, the most angry debates have frequently concluded with peals of laughter. Sir Boyle Roche was master of the ceremonies at Dublin castle, where he was beloved and admired for his politeness and urbanity. He married Mary, the eldest daughter of admiral sir Thomas Frankland, bart. but had no issue. He died at his house in Eccles-street, Dublin.

8. At Cardington, the seat of George Curtis, esq. captain John Barfoot, late commander of the honourable East-India Company's ship the Nottingham. Having spent a very considerable portion of his. life at sea, captain Barfoot was, as

it is natural to infer, thoroughly versed in naval tactics; and his uniform good conduct, during his continuance in the service, rendered him the object of universal esteem. Although he has left no family to la ment his death, yet the commercial world, and his acquaintance in general, must deeply regret the loss of a true friend, an able seaman, and an nonest man.
