DR. WATSON.

Feb. 12. At New York, aged 72, James Watson, who in 1817 was tried for High Treason, together with Thistlewood, Preston, and Hooper.

The features of the conspiracy with which they were charged will be found fully detailed in the Gentleman's Magazine, Old Series, vol. LXXVI. ii. 556, vol. LXXVII. i. 560, 625. It originated with a society calling themselves Spenceans, whose objects were an agrarian law and equal division of property. The means by which this end was to be effected were the arming of the discontented artisans of the metropolis, and the seizure of the Bank and the Tower. The assemblages, as is well known, took place in Spa Fields, a site which shortly after became a part of this vast metropolis; their operations proceeded no further than the robbery of several gunsmiths' shops.

Watson was a chemist and apothecary, and therefore called Doctor: he resided in Hyde-street, Bloomsbury.

His son

was also one of the most violent and active confederates. The riots were brought to a crisis on the 2nd Dec. 1816; on the evening of which day Dr. Watson was apprehended at Highgate, being suspected to be a footpad. His son effected his escape. The trial of the prisoners did not commence till the 9th of June, 1817, when it was determined that the trial of Dr. Watson should take place first. His counsel were Mr. Wetherell and Serjeant Copley (since Sir Charles Wetherell and Lord Lyndhurst); and after the trial had lasted a whole week, he was acquitted, when the Attorneygeneral declined to proceed with the prosecution of the other prisoners. Hooper died at the end of the same year in St. Thomas's Hospital, when Watson and his other associates attended his funeral (see Gent. Mag. LXXVII. ii. 635). They continued their seditious meetings at intervals, with the aid of their friend "orator Hunt," the late M. P. for Preston, until the capture of Thistlewood, at the head of the Cato-street conspirators, in Feb. 1820, and his capital punishment in the following April, at length dissolved the unholy alliance.

Watson was not implicated on that occasion, but he shortly after retired to America, where he endured many vicissitudes, living, at different times, in New Orleans, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala

July 11. In Drury-lane, aged 53, Mr. James Broad, furnishing coach-ironmonger, a member of the Numismatic Society, and a man of infinite taste as a collector of Greek and Roman coins.

His knowledge on numismatic subjects was scarcely inferior to that of his friend the late Mr. Matthew Young; whose loss to collectors, had it pleased Providence to spare Mr. Broad, would have been in a great measure supplied, could he have been from that of an ironmonger to a dealer in prevailed upon to change his business coins. As an amateur his collection was very extensive, both of coins and books; and will shortly be submitted to public immense collection of coins of every decompetition. It may be added, that the scription, the Numismatic Library (one of the best in Europe), and the fine collection of prints, formed by the late Mr. Matthew Young, will also, during the next season, pass under the hammer of Mr. Leigh Sotheby.
