Thomas Edwards Freeman, esq. of Batsford, Gloucester. He was a gentleman of long ancestry and great renown. In the consideration, and in the view of the melancholy truth, of what has been observed by a very noble Author, that the decease of estimable characters leaves to their surviving friends 'a chasm' in society, a friend of the deceased, who was in habits of intercourse with him near thirty years, thinks it but jus tice to truth, and to his valuable remembrance, to join this small tribute of his testimonial of his esteem and value to society; he being very finely endowed, from nature and habitude, with the excellent accomplishments of a gentleman and scholar. lived a long life in the pursuit and practice of the best social and philanthrophic principles and actions; and adorned with the higher and more splendid embellishments of a christian life and character, he exercised the best of its principles, those particularly of charity and bene volence; and lived in the constant exercise of that most noble one of vigilant kindness, so as finely to illustrate the truth of what has been beautifully ob served, of a superior nature, 66 to ease and emulate the cares of Heaven." In his urbanity and address he was pleasing and ac

He

ceptable; to all, and to his particular friends, his social intercourse added grace and delight. He sat in several Parliaments for Steyning; iu which representation he was succeeded by his only son, whose only daughter, the amiable and accomplished Mrs. Heathcote, the lady of Thomas Heathcote, esq. member for Blechingley, is his only descendant in a direct lineal succession.

21. At his house in Bedfordsquare, George Hill, esq. serjeant at law, the king's most antient Serjeant, as he was called, and as he literally was, for he was of a great age (according to the papers, 92). He married a lady who inherited a very considerable fortune on condition of her taking the name of Medlycott; but which the Serjeant would not let her use, except on occasions when it was legally necessary; he said, his father's name was Hill, and so was his, and he thought it a very good name. By her, who died a few years ago, he had two daughters; one married to Mr. Maunsell, of Northamptonshire; the other, Barbara, to William Cockayne, esq. second son of Viscount Cullen. The former died before the Serjeant, leaving only one child, a daughter. Mrs. Cockayne is living, and has ten daughters. The Serjeant had a very profound knowledge of the old Law; and there was not a case in the old Law Books which he had not in his recollection. He quitted the practice at the Bar some years ago, but continued to give opinions for several years after; indeed, he did not leave his chambers more than three or four years before his

death. The Serjeant had a brother, a Clergyman, who also had only one daughter; who mar ried Mr. Ayliffe, of Kingstonupon-Thames, by whom she had no child; and, after his death, married the Rev. G. Savage, F. A. S. vicar of that place, and rector of St. Mary Aldermary, London; she is now living.

His Lordship was Secretary to Earl Fitzwilliam in in. Ireland; and enjoyed in an eminent degree the private friend-" ship of their majesties. He is succeeded in the estates by his only sister, the Lady Caroline Damer; ou whose decease they devolve to the Earl of Portarlington, whose grandmother, Mary Damer, Viscountess Carlow, was sister to the first Lord Dorchester.
