(L.S.) (LS.)

Thursday night, at half past nine o'clock, died,
TitobtAS SKINNER. Esq. Alderman of the Ward of
Queen Lithe, at his house in Aldersgate-street. This
respetable and virtuous Citizen, will be most sin-
cerely lamented, not merely by his numerous and
amiable family, but by the City, of which he has
been long a distinguished Magistrate; by the poor,
of whom he has been a liberal benelattor ; and his
country, of which lie has been a zealous, inde-
pendent, and itEtive friend.
Mr. Skinner was born at Brentfcrcl, on the 14:h
Jan. 1737. He received his education at 1 a'olg, and
served an apprenticeship to a Mr. Williams. an
Urbalder, in Nevrgate-stteet. Mr. Skince! was
happy to relate from what a small beginning he
raised himself, by an honourable course of industry,
to the splendid fortune of which he died possessed.
In 1;57, he began husicess for himself in Alders-
gate-street, and married a MOSS amiable woman,
Miss White, and never was there more peri-ed
and uninterrupted felicity than they enjoyed until
her death, about five years ago.
lie served Sheriff of Middlesex, in the memorable
year 1784, and was elescled Alderman et Queea•
hithe in irsi. and Lewd Mayor in 1794. In his
own profession, he has shew ft what wonderful things
may be done by ability and perseverance. When
he begin the butiness of an auflioneer, he was
scarcely known. It was thought discreditable to
bring estates or goods to sale in the country; but, to
such a height has it arisen under his auspices, that
the audion duty paid to Government for the last
year, amounted to the sum of 300.0001. Mr. Dykt,
who tams to be with him in 17ti3, has fora long
time discharged all die naive part of the business,
and allowed him to spend much of Lis time at Col-
lier's Wood, a beautiful seat which lit pea chased
near Merton, in Surrey.
He has lel: behind hint two sons and five daugh-
ters to lament his loss; which tr. .feem, as well A to
all his friends and neighbours, is its epat
