DR. SAMUEL JEBB, had three brothers,

1. RICHARD, who settled in Drohgeda and became a merchant there. His only son, JOHN, alderman of Drogheda, had by his second wife, Alicia Forster, two sons, namely,

1. RICHARD (named after his second cousin, Sir Richard Jebb, bart. M. D. who left him his heir). Adopting the legal profession, Mr. Jebb attained great eminence at the bar, and was constituted in 1818 one of the judges of the Court of King's Bench in Ireland. He m. Jane-Louisa, eldest daughter of John Finlay, esq. M.P. for the county of Dablin, and died in 1834, leaving issue.

2. JOHN, D.D. the late celebrated Bishop of Limerick, born 27th September, 1775; died unmarried 9th December, 1833.

Lineage.

SAMUEL JEBB, M.D. a native of Nottingham, practised as a physician with great success at Stratford, in Essex, and became eminent by several learned works; among others "The History of the Life and Reign of Mary Queen of Scots." He married a relation of the celebrated apothecary, Mr. Dillingham, of Red Lion Square, and dying 9th March, 1772, left, with other issue, a son,

I. RICHARD JEBB, M.D. b. at Stratford in 1729, who followed his father's profession and became so esteemed a practitioner, that when the Duke of Gloucester fell dangerously ill in Italy, he was requested to go thither to attend the health of that prince, and his conduct on that occasion gave so much satisfaction that he was called abroad a second time in 1777. About the same period he was made physician-extraordinary to the king; and in 1780 appointed physician-in ordinary to the Prince of Wales. He not only held those offices about the royal family, but was for several years one of the physicians chiefly employed by them. Upon the death of Sir Edward Wilmot in 1786, he was constituted physician-in-ordinary to his majesty, but did not survive the appointment many months; for being in attendance on two of the princesses who were affected with the measles, he was suddenly attacked with a fever in their apartments at Windsor, to which he fell a victim, after a few days' illness, 4th July, 1787, in the fifty-eighth year of his age. He had been created a BARONET in 1778; but, as he never married, the title EXPIRED with him.

WILLIAM JUXON, the pious and loyal Bishop of London, the son of Richard Juxon, of Chichester, in Sussex, was born in 1582, and educated, upon the foundation, at Merchant Taylor's School, from which he was elected a fellow of St. John's College, Oxford, in 1598. Entering into holy orders, he became very popular as a preacher; and having risen high in royal favour, was chosen to succeed Laud in the see of London. In less than two years after, his lordship was appointed lord high treasurer of England; but he was not made for the times in which he lived, and when he saw the storm approaching which was to overturn the whole edifice of church and state, he resigned his office 17th May, 1641, shortly after the execution of Strafford. In the unhappy scenes which fellowed the trial and death of CHARLES-the good bishop attended his ill-fated master with the most realous devotion. The words of exhortation which he addressed to the royal martyr on the scaffold are too well known to be more than alluded to here. It was remarked by the regicides that the king, the moment before he stretched out his neck to the executioner, addressed to Juxon, in a very earnest accent, the single ward "REMEMBER." Great mysteries were consequently supposed to be concealed under that expression; and the generals vehemently insisted that the prelate should inform them of the king's meaning. Juxen

replied that his majesty having frequently charged him to inculcate on his son the forgiveness of his murderers, had taken this opportunity in the last moments of his life, when his commands he supposed would be regarded as sacred and inviolable, to reiterate that desire; and that his mild spirit thus terminated its present course by an act of benevolence to his greatest enemies. Some months after, when the commonwealth was established, Juxon was deprived of his bishopric, and retired to his private estate, the manor of Little Compton, in Gloucestershire, where he continued until consecrated Archbishop of Canterbury at the Restoration. His grace did not long survive that happy event, but died 4th June, 1663, in his eighty-first year, leaving his nephew,

1. SIR WILLIAM JUXON, his heir. This gentleman served the office of sheriff of Gloucestershire in 1676, and was created a BARONET in 1660, being styled "of Albourne, in Sussex." He m. Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Walter, bart. of Saresden, in Oxfordshire, and was s. by his son,
