Lloyd , Esq . once member for Gatton . Mr . Lloyd had experienced many extraordinary vicissitudes of fortune . One of the earliest circumstances which is remembered of him , is , that he was 3 player ii ; a strolling company , of which Moody _ vas also a member . Har ving heard that one Gibson was on his

voyage to take possession of the Edinburgh theatre , ' under a contract , as to time , ancl that the wind y / as against him , Lloyd set off by land , took the theatre at the expiration of the stipulated period ,, and hired the company which Gibson soon afterwards landed . He was after this in London for

several years , and lived very precariously , Pie and a late conspicuous member of the Jockey Club married at the Savoy two sisters , the daughters of a sugarbaker , who had left them 4000 I . each ; hut their brother , whose consent was declared necessary by the will , refused it , and it being shortly afterwards discovered that marriages at the Savoy were illegal , they soon left their brides , of whom one has since been respectably married .

Lloyd , with less than ten guineas in his pockets , afterwards set out for Amsterdam , and remained about fifteen years upon lhe continent . On his return io England he purchased large estate ' s , and appeared , and probably with truth , to be worth a hundred thousand pounds . Pie then dealt at the Stock

Exchange and in so many other wars , in which considerable property is involved , that there are few men of much business in London who did not know him . Willi the bankers and auctioneers especially he had frequent transactions , and after this period it never appeared fortune went against

him . Having become member for Gatton , he acquired an intimacy with the late lord North , hired his estate in Somersetshire , lived at his house in London , and concerted the taxes for the one or two last sessions of his administration . His political career ended with the

retirement of his patron ; but he transacted business several years afterwards } ancl his death , which happened in the 6 Sth year of his age , appeared to his acquaintances to have come prematurely

below .

The fire was extinguished without doing any damage to the room . It is supposed she was suffocated so with the smoak ,

that she ' was unable to call out . Her watch , purse , and a bank-note were found on the table .. U is unknown how this fatal accident happened ; but it is conjectured she was kneeling at her prayers , with the . candle too near , ancl it set fire to her clothes . Lately at Eppleworth , Mrs .
