Wilmot, esq. second son of the late Right Hon. Sir John Bardley-Wilmot, knt. Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. He re ceived the first rudiments of education at Derby and at Westminster Schools, at both which places he remained but a very short time. From thence he was placed at the Academy at Brunswick; and having remained there till he was 17, he went to University College, Oxford, where he was contemporary with many men who have since distinguished themselves in public and private life. He was at first intended for the Church; and it was for his use that the Bishop of Gloucester, Dr. Warburton, wrote the Directions for a young Clergyman, since published in his Posthumous Works; but, upon the death of his elder brother in the East Indies, and upon the elevation of his father to one of the highest Judicial situations, his intended pursuits were changed, and the profession of the Law was ultimately fixed upon. From All Souls College, of which he had been elected a Fellow, he removed to the Temple, and studied the Law under the superintendance of Sir Eardley. He was at the usual time called to the Bar, and went the Midland Circuit. He soon after married the only daughter of S. Sainthill, esq. by whom he had four daughters and one son, all of whom survive him. In 1783, he was made a Master in Chancery, having been chosen for Tiverton, in Devonshire, in the two preceding Parliaments. Though seldom taking an active part in the debates of those times, he was always attentive to the important duties of a Member of Parliament, and constant in his attendance in the House. He uniformly opposed the American War, from the purest principles of liberty, justice, and benevolence; and though at the termination of that disgraceful contest, when the claims of the Americau Loyalists were to be inquired into, and satisfied, it was most natural to suppose that some Gentleman on the other side of the House, who had, as it were, drawn the sword in their cause, would have been appointed Commissioner for that purpose; yet Mr. Wilmot's known abilities, integrity, and benevolence, were so universally acknow"ledged, that his nomination to that arduous office gave perfect satisfaction. How far the labours of himself and colleagues were crowned with success; the universal approbation of this Country, and of America, sufficiently testify.. In 1784 he was elected, with Lord Eardley, his brother-in-law, member for Coventry, in opposition to Lord Sheffield and Mr. Conway, now Marquis of Hertford, whither they had gone to add to the triumphant majority which ultimately secured Mr. Pitt in his situation as Prime Minister, and consequently this Country from ruin. It was in the summer of 1790, that the Revolutionary storm, so long collecting in France, suddenly discharged itself; and an immense number of French Clergy and Laity took refuge in this country. The subject of these Memoirs was then in town; and the continual scenes of distress he was daily witnessing in the streets, added to particular instances of misery which came under his own immediate observation, induced him alone, without pre vious communication with any one, to advertize for a meeting of the Gentlemen then in town, at the Freemasons Tavern, to take into consideration some means of affording relief to their Christian brethren. The meeting was most numerous and respectable; the Archbishop of Canterbury, many Bishops, and most of the Nobility then in London, attending; and Mr. Wilmot being called to the chair, and having stated his object in calling them together, subscriptions to a large amount were immediately entered into; and a Fund created, which, with the assistance of Parlia ment, and the contributions of every Pa. rish in the Kingdom, relieved, and conti nued to relieve until the late happy events rendered a continuance unnecessary, those unhappy exiles from their native country. Mr. Wilmot continued, till he retired into the country a few years ago, to dispense under Government this National bounty;a task well suited to that universal benevolence and kindness of heart which so eminently distinguished him, and in which he had few equals, and none superior. In 1793 he married a second wife, Sarah Anne, daughter of Col. Haslam; by whom he had a son and a daughter, both of whom died in their infancy. It was in the Spring of 1804, that, finding himself ill able, from bodily infirmity, to continue the various employments he had so long zealously fulfilled, as also from an innate and hereditary love of retirement and study, he resolved to quit London entirely, and live in the country. He accordingly resigned his Mastership in Chancery, his situation as Distributor of Relief to the French Re fugees, and some of the many important Trusts which his owu kindness and the importunity of friends had induced him to accept. He bought Bruce Castle, formerly the seat of the Coleraine family, situated at Tottenham, about five miles from London; uear enough to town to continue what remained of the duty of Com Commissioner of American Claims, and to health and happiness. But these sympdischarge several Trusts which were a family nature, em He passed his time in his favourite ployments, reading and study; to which may be added, active benevolence; and having been one of the best of sous, as well as best of fathers, he employed himself in writing the Life of Sir Eardley, whose memory be revered to adoration; and published with it several letters from that great man to different members of his family, which are universally acknowledged to be some of the finest models of sound morality and nervous composition, that were ever edited for the training up of youth in virtue and honour. He also printed with the Life several Opinions and Judgments of Sir Eardley, abridged indeed in the Law Reports of the day, but copied more at large from the manuscript papers of that great Judge. He soon after engaged again in Biography, of which he was always remarkably fond, and published a Life, with original Letters, of Bishop Hough, a character not unlike Sir Eardley's, for benevolence, learning, and a love of independence. Besides the above publications, it must be here remarked, that Mr. Wilmot published, in 1779, "A Short Defence of the Opposition," in answer to a pamphlet intitled "A Short History of the Opposition." He also published, in 1780, a re-publication, in duodecimo, of Glanville, which he had carefully collated from the Harl. Cott, Bodl. and Mill. MSS. The last publication which his labours have given to the publick, was a History of the Commission of American Claims, printed in the beginning of the present year, and which gives a luminous and concise account of that noble monument of National gratitude. Being repeatedly attacked by paralytic affections, which undermined his health and strength, his constitution, never strong, gradually gave way; and for the last two or three years of his life toms were a presage of that eternal happiness, which we trust, through the mercy of God, awaited him; for, after passing, the evening in mirth and gaiety in the bosom of his family, as he was stepping into bed, without a sigh, or murmur, or, any external sign of dissolution, he suddenly breathed his last, and seemed to fall asleep rather than to die. After the preceding account, it is almost unnecessary to write the character of so good a man: his numerous friends and relations, and the publick at large, can best appreciate his virtues; and his loss is bardly less felt by the latter, than by the large circle of his connexions. As a son, father, husband, and brother, he was most tender and most affectionate; as a friend, unremittingly zealous, sincere, and benevolent; as a master, liberal and kind; to all, most courteous and attentive; in every thing preferring the happiness of others to his own, and suffering no obsta cle, however difficult, nor any repulse, however ungrateful, to overcome his exertions to do good. To the poor he was a liberal, and often an unknown, benefactor; and always increased the obligation of his charitable beneficence, by the affectionate sympathy with which he bestowed it. As long as humility and benevolence shall be esteemed two of the greatest as well as rarest of human virtues, the name of Mr. Wilmot will be endeared to posterity, and his example looked up to by the followers of true Christianity. Sir Eardley had four children besides the subject of these Memoirs. Robert, who died young; Maria Marow, married to Lord Eardley, and died in 1794; Eardley, who died in 1800, and Elizabeth, married to Sir Thos. Blomefield, bart. and who is now living.

Mrs. Grundy, relict of the late Jonathan Grundy, esq. of Lightwood-house, co. Stafford. to much exertion. It was in the beginning of June that he was attacked by a bilious complaint, which greatly debilitated him; but, having in some measure recovered, he carried into effect a resolution he had much at heart, of visiting his son and grandchildren in Warwickshire. This journey much weakened him; but the cause of his death was a disease which must have been some time increasing, water in the c chest. On the day of bis death be was apparently in better health than he had been for years; his countenance had resumed the e benevolent mildess which characterized it, less tinctured by disease, and more animated; his spi-wick and vicar of Wartling in Sussex; both rits were excellent, even joyous; and his family anticipated with delight a return of ness June 25.

He was a single man, and maintained his mother, who is extremely ill. Having risen at three o'clock to procure something for the old lady, it was necessary to kindle a fire: to do this, he took a small dessert knife to split a piece of wood, the end of which he laid on his breast, when the knife slipped, penetrated- the beart, inflicting a wound four inches deep: he fell upon the bed, and almost instantly expired.

Returaing from Oakley with Mr. Bucklow, -of the Swan-inn, Bedford, the latter fell from his horse; Mr. White left him in the Bare of a waggoner, and proceeded for medical aid. The surgeon followed him in about four minutes, and when he had rode about a quarter of a mile, saw a person lying insensible in the road, whom he supposed to be Mr. Bucklow, and returned with the sufferer to the Swan inu, when, on removing the blood from his face, they discovered it to be Mr. White. He lan guished two days in the same insensible state. A coroner's inquest returned a verdict that he died of a concussion of the brain. Mr. Bucklow was found about a mile further in a similar state; but faint hopes were entertained of his recovery. Berks. At Reading, aged 16, Eliza Maria, youngest daughter of John Hooke `Greene, esq. At Wargrave, aged 30, R. Mathews, esq. Col. Beaumont, of Crowmarsh, near Wallingford. He crossed the Thames at the Ferry; and having walked a considerable distance on the banks of the river, fixed his walking-stick in the ground, placed his hat on it as a signal, threw himself in, and was drowned.

He possessed superior natural abilities, which were improved by a liberal education, and a thorough knowledge of the world. He entered life under the most favourable circumstances; but, being of an eccentric disposition, he partook largely of the vicissitudes incidental to men of genius and of an independent mind. About nine of the last eleven years of his life were devoted to the service of his Majesty, in the Royal Navy, part of which time he acted as captain's clerk, and occasionally as assistant surgeon. He was discharged about two years since, in consequence of ill health, and afterwards resided at Bodmin, where he exercised his talents to the satisfaction of his acquaintance. He was the author of the poetical pieces which have appeared in the Cornwall Gazette and West Briton newspapers, under the signature of H. in some of which he has feelingly depicted his own disappointments.

He brought the Essex prize to England. At Plymouth, suddenly, Capt. Andrew Saunders, R. N. whose abilities and worth were well known and deservedly respected. The winter of age had not chilled the vernal warmth which his mild and elegant manners, accompanied by a mind uncommonly vigorous and enlightened, bad excited in early life. It was impossible to know Andrew Saunders, and not to love him! He had that in his nature which would have softened ferocity itself into tenderness, and inspired the most unlimited confidence in the very bosom of Suspicion. Some have minds, and no hearts; others have hearts, and no minds; but he was all mind, and all heart! His very countenance announced the benevolence that dwelt within; and to great brilliancy of imagination and quickness of conception, he added a profoundly deep and comprehensive mind! It is not always that great talents are accompanied by great rectitude; but his integrity equalled his abilities; and, if his flashes of wit charmed his friends, they idolized him for his virtues, which never required any stimulus. Truth, sincerity, and benevolence, marked his footsteps; and his character was, in all respects, a model for invitation. M. At Buckland Filleigh, the wife of John Inglest Fortescue, esq.

He was born at Tiverton, and educated at Blundell's school in that town: whilst there, he distinguished himself by his classical attainments, and at the proper age was sent to Sidney-Sussex college, Cambridge, being elected to one of the scholarships founded by Mr. Peter Blundell, and appropriated to scholars from Tiverton school. During his resi dence at college, he sedulously devoted himself to classical and mathematical learning, and took the degree of B. A. in 1781 with considerable credit. Shortly ture he was elected mathematical lec of his college, and afterwards he took orders, and was elected a fellow of the same Society. Having resided many years at Cambridge, he retired into the country, and served the curacy of Ashbrittle, in Somersetshire; but, on being presented by the laté ChancellorNutcombe, of Exeter, to the living of Widecombe, he married, and removed to his vicarage, where he passed the remainder of his life. Mr. Rendle was a most excellent classical scholar, and, from the time of his removal to Widecombe, he devoted all the time he could spare from his parochial duties exclusively to study. There are but few situations more retired than Widecombe, being at some distance from any markettown, and in the immediate vicinity of Dartmoor; he therefore experienced but few interruptions from his favourite pursuits. Divinity was the study to which he devoted himself, and more particularly the earlier |
