the collections at the door., out 9f 'which he paid all
the expences attendant on the Chapel. Th 4 De-
fendant afterwards contrived • to, oust him, and hOd
now set up ;for himself. In his, plea, however,' he
set: off" a salary of .261,- per annum, which' he con-

there was Mere ofentertaintneht than solidityln the
statement of his 'Learned .Priend ; but h;s was old-
. wit, and reminded- him of a circumstance which
took-place in the reign of Queen Ann', when the
wits of the day 'gave out that Dr. Partridgry-was dead;
and even' went so fat...a*. to sena undertakers to his"
house, who were proceeding to hang his ro9rn
with's black, till Mrs.-Partridge was obliged to
beat them out with a broorri-stick. To controvert,
this opinion, the Dodor Wrote a book, -in which he
gave sixteen reasons for being alive ; one of which
was, that his Almanacs came out the_ fellowihg
month_ Dean Swift answered this book : and,
"among other things, contwncled, as ri reason he was
dead, that 'no man living could write such nonsense
as the Doe-tor's Alenanack.-• The:truttl.„ howev.r, in
this case was; that there' beinga mutual coofidenee.,
