infulm Canarm sub Rege Britanico, Confulis Generalis,
obiit, die 3 Novembris, 1821, anno, ætatis 25.
Filiolam (Joannam) prius enixa;
Quæ, luminis oras vix ingressa,
Eodem, quo Mater, loculo quiefcit
illam, autem, pietate decoram, moribus præclaram
Venuftifimo juventutis flore,

Mors-fic Deo Optimo Vifum,-præripuit !
Sibi quidem fatis diuturna,
orbatæ vero Soboli, Viduoque Marito,
Pro doler! quam brevis vita!

At O! dulciffimum morentium folamen!
Quibus affulfit fiducia non fallax,
"Beatos effe mortuos, qui in Domino Moriuntur."
Requiescat in Pace.

JOHN DELAFONS, R.N.,
departed this Life
October 26th, 1814,

aged 74 years.

Universally respected and lamented.

In Memory of

Mr. MILES MCCABE,

who departed this Life
on the 14th day of March, 1817,
in his 80th year.

Born to no pride, inheriting no strife,
Nor marrying discord in a noble wife,
Stranger to civil and religious rage,

The good man walk'd innoxious through his age.
No courts he saw, no Suits would ever try,
Nor dared an Oath, nor hazarded a lie;

Unlearn'd, he knew no schoolman's subtle art,
No language, but the language of the heart.
By nature honest, by experience just,
His life

Mrs. ELLEN BOURKE,

Died October 11th, 1829, aged 52 years.
A good Mother,

and affectionate Wife.

Lord be merciful to her Soul.

SUSAN THOMPSON,

Died Feb. 2nd, 1854,

Aged 4 years.

In heart divided and in spirit rent,
Who can forbid a mother to lament?
Death, thou dread looser of the dearest tie,
Was there no aged or no sick one nigh?
And was the only victim thou could'st find
An infant in its mother's arms reclined?
But 'tis thy way to pass the ripest by,
And cause the flowers and buds of life to die.

Sacred

to the Memory of
GEORGE BROAD, M.R.S.M.,

who died October 2nd, 1848,
in the 73rd year of his age.

Much lamented by his widow, family, and friends.

Governor WALL, buried January, 1802.*

* At the end of January, 1802, the mortal remains of Governor Wall were interred in the churchyard of St. Pancras. No stone marks the resting-place of this unfortunate man, who was tried at the Old Bailey on January 20, 1802, and found guilty of the murder of Benjamin Armstrong, by having inflicted upon him 800 lashes with a rope, at the garrison at Gorree, upon the coast of Africa, July, 1782. He was apprehended under a warrant from the Privy Council, in 1784, and was sent to Reading Goal, from which he escaped, and fled to the Continent. He remained in exile for twenty years, occasionally visiting this country. He came finally to England in 1797. In January, 1802, he wrote to the Secretary of State to say he was ready to give himself up if he should send for him. He was apprehended in Upper Thornleigh Street, Bedford Square, where he lived under the name of Thompson. When Wall ascended the scaffold, accompanied by the Rev. Ordinary, there arose three successive shouts from an innumerable populace, the brutal but determined effusion of one common sentiment, for the public indignation had never been so high for very many years. The body, after being dissected at a building in Cowcross Street, was consigned to his relatives upon the payment of fifty guineas to the Philanthropic Society.
