Saturday John Trapp was indicted for feloniously secreting a letter, containing a £5O and a £4O Bank of England Note, which letter came to his hand in consequence of his employment in the . General Post- Office. There was a second indictment against him, fur having in his possession the stolen property. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty to the first indictment, which constitutes a capital charge ; but, on the ap— plication of Mr. BARRY, his Counsellor, the Court permitted him to plead Guilty to the second indict ment, which subjects him to transportation for seven years. Ile was, in consequence, with the consent of Mr. GURNEY, who conducted the prosecution for the Post Office, acquitted on the capital charge. John Booth, another Clerk in the General Post- Office, was next put to the bar, on an indictment charging hint with secreting a letter, containing a C 4 Note, addressed to a Gentleman named Weller, residing at North Cray, in Kent. The facts were now folly established in evidence. The prisoner made no defence, but called live highly respectable indivi duals, who gave him an ercellent character for ho nesty, during a period of upwards of '2O years that they had known him. The Jury found him Guilty, but strongly recommended him to merey, on account of the ercelleut character he had received. The prisoner was again found Guilty on a second indictment, charging him with stealing a letter con taining the halves of two £lO Notes, addressed to W. Lamb. Esq. of Wrestiingwortli, near Bedford. There were four other charges against the prisoner, which were not tried. ALIA - CHESTER, OCTOBER 28.

Authentic particulars of the illness and death of his Grace the late Duke of Richmond, derived from , the memoranda made at the time, by an Officer of his Grace's personal Staff: — The Duke, Colonel Cockburn, and myself, left Kingston on the 20th, and travelling sometimes in waggons, and sometimes on horseback, and the last three or four miles on foot, arrived at nine in the evening at the Stone-mills, thirty miles from King ston. He dined at a farm-house on the road, and rested there several hours. The Duke did not ap pear fatigued ; he went to bed, apparently, quite We proceeded the next morning on our road to Perth. His Grace travelled the first six miles in a calash, and the remaining twenty-two on horseback. The weather being extremely hot, we were all rather fatigued, but the Duke not more so than Colonel Cockburn and myself. He ate a good dinner, smoked a sugar, and went to bed at his usual hour. On the following morning, his Grace appeared to have quite recovered the fatigue of his journey : he walked round part of the Settlements for three or four hours. In returning home a violent shower of rain wetted us through. The Duke refused an um brella, and rather enjoyed the circumstance. He changed his clothes the instant he arrived at the inn, and appeared in perfect health}. We dined with a large party. I lis Grace retired about eleyen o'clock, and went to bed soon after. The next day, it having been determined to remain at Perth, in consequence of the rain on the 22d, we accordingly walked for a few miles, to leg* at the Settlements, dined at the usual hour, and the Duke retired to rest apparently quite well, having settled to proceed early the following morning on the road to Richmond. On being called on the 24th, the Duke complained to his servant that he felt unwell, and had been pre vented from sleeping, by a pain in his shoulder and throat ; we observed that he did not eat his usual breakfast; and on my making some remark on that subject, he said he had not slept well, observing, that that was a very unusual thing with him. This he said in a playful manner; he afterwards told me he had a pain in his right shoulder, and I advised his rubbing it with spirits of turpentine, which he agreed to. We proposed remaining another day at Perth, which he declined, and we accordingly set out about eight o'clock for the store at Beckwith (fifteen miles). His Grace rode, excepting here and there, when the road was bad ; I remarked, however, that he was un well, and proposed halting during the beat of the day : this he acceded to, and we remained three hours at a house about half way. The Duke lay down, and slept well for an hour and a half, ate some chicken-broth before we set out, and appeared better; he drank often weak brandy and water dur ing the day, and appeared particularly thirsty. On reaching Beckwith, although he had ridden nearly the whole way, he was evidently much fatigued, and lay down from the time we arrived until dinner was ready : he complained of his shoulder, but his Grace said nothing to me of any other pain. I conceived it was a slight attack of rheumatism, and that he had caught cold ; this he said he thought most likely ; he ate very little dinner, and went to bed very early. On the followia morning, it being evident thht the Duke was still unwell, it was determined to make two days of the journey to Richmond, instead of one, and that his Grace should sleep at a house eleven or twelve miles distant, and proceed the re maining three or four the next day. On this morn ing the Duke observed to his servant, that the wash ing of his face gave him a sort of spasm, and to him he again complained of a pain in his throat, but said nothing on that subject to either Colonel Cock burn or myself; the pain in his shoulder was nearly gone. We arrived at our destination about five in the afternoon, having halted during the heat of the day at a cottage. I thought the Duke better, and particularly ob served that he did not appear so thirsty as on the preceding day ; he said nothing to me of any aver. sion to water, but complained a little of his throat. He ate but little, and went to bed early. On the following morning (the 26th) his Grace was up the first of the party ; he said he slept well, and wished to set off immediately. I observed that he had not washed or shaved himself, but it bell% a small cottage, and the distance to Richmond only three or four miles, I was not surprised, believing he wished to postpone it until our arrival at that place. I think he drank a little tea, and ate part of an egg. His Grace walked very strong, and made his way through the swamps, but observed to me that be had a sort of spasm on seeing a person jump or walk into a wet place, for which he could not account. I did not remark any thing particular in his appear ance, although I thought he looked unwell. On my arrival at Richmond, he said he preferred seeing the stores, villages, Stc. before he dressed, and this he did, but then returned to the inn, and he went to his room to dress, and I did the same. Before I was quite ready, he came to my room, and asked me the name of the surgeon, complaining at the same time of the pain in his throat. I instantly sent for the only medical person in the Settlement, and whilst waiting for his arrival we breakfasted. I think the Duke drank some tea. On the surgeon's arriving he examined the Duke's throat, and recommended his using a gargle of port wine, vinegar, and sugar, and taking a little medicine. On going away, he thought the Duke would be quite well the following day. The Duke used the gargle, but I observed it was with difficulty, and that the moment he took the cup in his hands it produced a spasm. He was then in good spirits, and made a joke of the circumstance. He walked out a short time, but finding it too hot, returned to the inn. He then said it was a good op portunity to write, and I sent for some paper. Ex cepting the pain in his throat, I thought him nearly well. On the paper arriving, he wrote for nearly an hour and a half and then corning across the room, said, as nearly as I can recollect--= , Now, my dear Sir, do not think me a fool ; but I have written a letter, which, if any thing happens to me, you must deliver to my daughter." I was much startled at the manner, and endeavoured to laugh him out of what. appeared to me a nervous fit. He then again alluded to his throat, and observed, that as a sudden spasm might choke Mtn, he thought it right to be prepared.' He then spoke for some time on subjects about which he seemed particularly anxious, and said, that having done so, and having written, he felt easier. I could not account for his lowness of spirits, and again en-1 deavoured to rally him. He took this in good part:' but on my saying he would deliver his letter himself, he saki, very earnestly, " No, you will deliver that letter." He then again complained of not being able to swallow any liquid without pain. I thought one of the glands of his throat swelled a little. I also observed, that he tried continually to drink water, 1 and recommended the gargle in preference. Three or four Officers of the Settlement dined with us, and he seemed in good spirits, drank wine with most of the party, and made a joke of the spasms. He ap peared much better, and it was arranged that we should proceed the next day to the banks of the Ot tay.-a, as he wished to keep his appointment at Montreal. At day-break the following morning he sent for me. I found him in bed : be said he had passed a .very disturbed night, and had awoke several times with a feeling like the nightmare; and that he would not attempt going to sleep again in that bed for the world; that he knew it was absurd, but could not help it. I w•as much alarmed at his manner, although he was perfectly collected, and even more than usually kind and mild. He again alluded to the letter he had written the day before, and I think he again expressed his conviction that I should have to deliver it to Lady Mary at Montreal. After a short time, I left him to dress, and went to prepafe for our setting off. On retuining to the inn, I found the Duke walking up and down the room in a very dis turbed state, with Colonel Cockburn ; his looks and manners were unlike himself. He desired us to go and breakfast, and whispered to me not to take any notice of him when he came in, as it would increase the spasms which the sight of tea would occasion. We then left him, and went to breakfast ; he soon followed us, and attempted to swallow some tea, bat got down very little. We endeavoured to prevail upon him to remain at Richmond, but he was de- 1 termined to proceed. It was then arranged that his Grace and I should travel a part of the way in a ca- 1 noe, and we walked together about a mile to the place of embarkation. During this period, he was per fectly collected, and talked on various subjects, with out ever alluding to his illness or his throat. On arriving, about eight o'clock, at the water side, he desired some one might first go into the canoe, to prevent him from falling, which he feared the sight of water might make him do. On getting into the canoe, I saw be was dreadfully agitated, and there was something particularly striking in the manner in which he took his little dog, Blucher, in his arms, and kissed him; and the spasms in his throat increased to an alarming degree. He endeavoured to controul himself, and forced a smile whenever I looked at him. After a few moments, finding it impossible to support it, and growing every instant more convulsed, we landed : the instant he was on shore, his aversion to water increased tenfold, and he ran into the wood as far as be could penetrate. Being joined by Colonel Cockburn, we endeavoured to prevail on him to return to Richmond. A small rivulet being, however, in the way, which he was unable to force himself to pass, we were obliged to proceed to a farm-house a few miles distant ; and it was with the utmost diffi culty, that, with our united exertions, he could get over some small rivulets and drains in our way. Excepting on this subject, he was perfectly reasonable, and even on that he endeavoured to controul his feel • ings by every possible exertion. Growing evidently worse, and the nature of his disorder being past all doubt, we at length reached the farm-house, Colonel Cockburn having left us to procure some assistance, and the Duke ran into an open barn, which being further from the water, he said he preferred to the house. He then became tranquil, although he felt perfectly convinced he could not live, and the pa roxysms were at first intermittent, and for ten minutes or a quarter of an hour he felt free from pain. His thoughts and anxiety were for his family and friends. The surgeon having set off for the point we were to have slept at that night, it was some time before he could be brought back. During this time, he prayed most earnestly to be enabled to support whatever might be deemed good for him with patience and resignation ; at the same time professing his willing ness to quit this world, and his perfect confidence of being acquitted of ever having done injury to any human being. He forgave all his enemies from the bottom of his soul. His language and demeanour on this occasion, proved the piety, the fortitude, and the purity of his heart. During the most violent agonies, not a murmur escaped him, nor did he for a moment lose the mildness of his temper. During his short intervals from extreme agony, he dictated messages to many of his family and friends, which he most earnestly charged me to de'iver. On the arrival of Colonel Cockburn and the surgeon, he consented to be bled,' and about two pints were taken from his arm, which appeared to relieve him for a time; towards evening he was able to take about twenty drops of laudanum in peppermint' water, and afterwards took a grain of opium in some chicken broth, of whiDi he took a few tea-spoonsful three or four times. At sun-set we removed hint to the farm-house, which was prepared for his reception. The convulsious became weaker, and it was but ton evident he became weaker also. His recollection be gan to fail; and towards midnight he fell into a kind of stupor. Au express was sent off about four o'clock to, in some degree, prepare the family for the fatal event. Towards the morning of the 25tli, the quan tity of spittle collected in his throat and mouth caused the appearance of foaming; and in a few minutes after eight o'clock he expired without a struggle. On questioning his servant since this sad event, it appears that as early as the afternoon of the 23d, the Duke felt some difficulty in swallowing, and on the morning of the 2•lth had a sort of objec tion to washing his face, but this he concealed from Colonel Cockburn and myself. lie never alluded to the nature of his disorder hilt once, on the 26th, at dinner, when he remarked, in a laughing manner, that it was fortunate he was not a deg, as he cer tainly should be shot for a mad one. He preserved his love for his favourite spaniel till the last moment of his recollection ; and in the midst of his violent pain, would sometimes call to him in his natural tone of voice. The laudanum did not produce any sleep. From about one o'clock on the 27th uutil his death, he was in a state of profuse perspiration, bet did snot appear to Lave mach fever. 141 - ii CLERICAL INTELLIGEAL presented, hy OXF ORD , masterardt tßsEnßf The Rev .
