In the year 1777, he was elected member for the county of Cornwall; and in the year 1780 he was again elected for the county of Cornwall; and in the year 1784 he was created a peer. year 1789, his Lordship, by his Majefty's per million, took the name and arms of Craggs. His father was many years receiver-general of the county ef Cornwall, and when he died, in 1748, his fon fucceeded him; which place he held until his death. When Frederick Prince of Wales died, which was in March, 1751, the falary of this place was fuppofed to be about two hundred pounds per annum; in 1754, it was augmented to 5ool. and in the year 1762 it was further augmented; but at this time it is fuppofed to be about 2000l. per annum. His Lordship was the patron of the boroughs of Liskeard, Grampound, and St. Germains, all in Cornwall; and had a confiderable intereft in the county of Cornwall. In the month of January, 1760, he was made one of the Lords of Trade, in the room of Mr. Rigby, promoted,

In the

and

and continued in that office until March, 1776, when he was fucceeded by Mr. Eden, now Lord Auckland.

In Grofvenor Place, February 24, Anne, Countess of Upper Offory, daughter of the late Lord Ravensworth, by Anne, only daughter of Sir Peter Delme, Lord Mayor of London. This lady was married on the 29th of January, 1756, to the prefent Duke of Grafton, by whom he had iffue, Lady Georgiana, born in May, 1757, married in June, 1778, to John Smyth, of Heath, efq.

She was daughter to Sir Richard Cuft, bart. by his lady, Anne, who was the daughter of Sir William Brownlow, bart. and fifter to Lord Vifcount Tyrconnel.

Lately, the Right Hon. Richard Pepper Arden, Lord Alvaniey, Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. His Lordship was a younger fon of an ancient family, which poffeffes large eftates in Yorkshire and Chefhire. He received his early education at a free-fchool in Yorkshire. He was fent thence to continue his ftudies at Trinity College, Cambridge. At that univerfity, or at leaft in confequence of studying there, he obtained the private and convivial friendthip of the Right Hon. William Pitt. He came early to the Temple, and, after the ufual courfe of juridical ftudy, was called to the bar. His diligence, and the liveliness of his genius, foon recommended him to practice in the Court of Chancery. His fociety was, at the fame time, the delight of his private friends. He had fixed his refidence in Lincoln's Inn, after finishing his ftudies in the Middle Temple; and it is faid that he there lived on the fame ftaircafe with the late prime minifter, and that they used

there to affociate very much together. He had not been many years at the bar, when he contracted a fuitable marriage with the daughter of Richard Wilbraham Bootle, efq. of Cheshire, an opulent member of parlia ment. The influence of his own and his Lady's family brought him early into the Houfe of Commons. He naturally attached himfelf to his friend Mr. Pitt, upon the great crifis in administration after the American war; and he is faid to have then had influence to bring an addition of fix votes in the Houfe to the fide upon which he chofe to range himself. His practice at the bar had, in the mean time, fo increased, as to give him, though no favourite of Lord Thurlow in the Court of Chancery, very confiderable refpectability in the public eftimation as a lawyer. By the zealous friendfhip of Mr. Fitt, he was promoted to the appointment of Mafter of the Rolls, upon the late Lord Kenyon's elevation to prefide in the Court of King's Bench. He filled that important office with great credit to himself and much fatisfaction to the public, till the æra of Mr. Pitt's refignation. Among the changes which then enfued, he was advanced to the office of Chief Juftice in the Court of Common Pleas. He was, at the fame time, honoured with a peerage, by the title of Baron Alvanley, of Alvanley, in the county-palatine of Chester. In the Court of Common Pleas, his arguments and judgments have been fuch, as not a little to exalt the general efteem for his talents and learning as a lawyer. The Court has been in his time filled with fuitors and with bufinefs; and his fentences, even, in the most difficult cafes, has given univerfal fatisfaction.

In the Houfe of Commons he was diftinguished for speaking with fpirit, wit, and intelligence, rather than with commanding dignity. To his exertions as a speaker in the House of Peers, even dignity of manner has not been wanting. He has filled feveral eminent fituations; and in all thefe, has been found more than equal to the duties of his place and to the expectations of the public. His conduct in private life has been uniformly upright and amiable. His death is lamented as a lofs to his country. He is fucceeded in the peerage of Alvanley by his eldest fon.

At Little Holland Houfe, the Right Hon. Thomas Pitt, Lord Camelford, of a wound which he received in a due! with Mr. Beft.He was the great grandfon of the famous Thomas Pitt, who in India acquired the greater part of an ample independent fortune by the advantageous purchafe of a diamond, which was fold in Europe, with great profit, to the Regent Duke of Orleans. His father was the nephew of the late Lord Chatham. He himself was born about the year 1774. In his fpirit and temper, when he was a boy, there appeared fomething, that, though vigorous and manly, was, however, peculiar and unmanageable. He was, therefore, in compliance

Compliance with a predilection of his own, fuffered to enter the royal navy, as a midshipman, at an early age. He was a feaman of an extremely adventurous fpirit; and, by his eager choice, had the honour to accompany the late Captain Vancouver in a part of his voyage round the worldBy a refractoriness and difobedience to orders, the refult rather of a certain peculiarity of temper than of either badnefs of heart or want of understanding, he put Vancouver to the neceflity of treating him with a feverity of difcipline which he would not endure. He then left the ship, and returned home by himself. Being employed in the navy afterwards, he had the misfortune to be driven to the rafbnefs of fuddenly fhooting for mutiny a gentleman of the name of Peterfon, in a cafe in which a perfon lefs peculiar and peremptory in temper might perhaps have found no occafion to refort to fo fatal an extremity. The imprudence of this act was not acquitted without a strict trial before a court-martial. His Lordship, though honourably cleared of the charge of murder, did not from that time folicit farther employment in the navy. He has fince refided chiefly in lodgings in London; and has been diftinguished for eccentric boldnefs and intrepidity of fpirit-for many acts of noble, but oddly irregular beneficencefor a love of frolic, and a paffion for rational and scientific purfuits; at one time for un common dignity, good fenfe, and enlargement of fentiments; at another, for unrea.

fonable pofitiveness; withal, for liberality of expence, without foolish vanity, or mad profufion; fo that, on the whole, they who ftudied his character with the greatest attention, knew not well whether they ought

moft to admire his virtues and occafional rectitude of understanding, or to lament his dangerous eccentricities. He had confidered the evidences of the truth of Chriftianity with no common care, and was at laft, upon rational conviction, a believer. He was, at

the time of his death, earnestly profecuting the experimental ftudy of chemistry, under the direction of Mr. Accum. By bringing

Mr. Horne Tooke into Parliament, for the borough of Old Sarum, he afforded occafion to Mr. Addington to procure a law to exclude men educated for the church out of the House of Commons. He was engaged in the duel in which he perished, by the malicious falfehood of a profligate woman. He was anxious, in his laft agonies, for the pardon of his fins from God, and to acquit his antagonist of all guilt in the act of his death. The duel was fought early on Wednesday morning. He lingered in the anguish of death till Saturday, and then expired. The ball, entering the breaft, had paffed through the right lobe of the lungs, divided the fpinal marrow, and lodged in the fixth dorsal vertebra. He had lived fcarce thirty years.

Lately, James Hare, efq. M. P. eminent as a wit, a politician, a claffical scholar, a man of taste and fashion; whofe talents, as known to his friends, gave him among them the reputation of being one of the ableft men of this age. He was, as we have been informed, the grandfon of the famous Bishop Hare; who was, in his earlier life, chaplain to John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough; who wrote, in defence of his patron, feveral important pamphlets in oppofition-impar congreffus Achilli-to the Conduct of the Allies, the Remarks on the Barrier-treaty, and the Examiners of Swift; who diftinguished himself afterwards by propofing a new theory of the measures of the poetry of the Hebrews; and who, giving alfo an edition of the Comedies of Terence, was, with Pearce, on account of his Longinus, thus alluded to in the Satire of Young: "When churchmen Scriptures for the Claffics quit ;

Polite apoftates from God's grace to WIT." The grandfon was educated at Eaton, where the quickness and early vigour of his genius made him eminent among his fchoolyouths, fince the most diftinguished men of fellows, and impreffed upon the minds of their time, a respect for his talents, and a delight in his fociety, which were never to be effaced. He came into the high and fashionable fociety of London, and into the butle of political life, about the fame period with Mr. Fox, the Earl of Carlisle, and thofe

contemporaries of the fame ftanding, whose

names have been the ofteneft mentioned in affociation with theirs. He was confidered as the very flower and pride of the wits of the. all the various fubfequent fortunes of Mr. minority during the American war, and amid Fox's party. Even with the late Mr.Tickell, with Mr. Sheridan, and with all the wits of inferior co-adjutor. He was an active friend the Rolliad, he was esteemed, for wit, no to the party, in the famous conteft for the fequent fcrutiny, both fo prolific in exquifite reprefentation for Weftminster, and the fubjeux d'efprit. Yet, like the late Mr. Gib

But

bon, he was withheld by fome unaccountable whim or timidity from afpiring to the diftin&tion of an orator in Parliament. his talents for bufinefs were in fuch efteem, that, if his party had ultimately triumphed, political employment. He obtained by mar he would undoubtedly have obtained eminent riage the affinity of a noble family. He was, to the laft, the delight of his friend, and fill capable of pouring out the treasures of genuine wit with native vivacity and cafe. His Atrainings and vulgarities of false tafte, in wit was pointed, natural, free from the fhort, pure Attic falt. He was much a favourite at Devonshire Houfe. It is the common voice of those who knew him, that feldom has English fociety loft a man that was fitter to delight and to adorn it.
