been admitted as a pensioner into the Hospital in 1819;
that in 1824 lie retired on a pension of 12/. a year at his
own request, but finding that insufficient, he returned in a
short time after as an inmate,—some charges of misconduct
having been preferred against him, among others that of
haring swindled a person at Deptford out of two dogs, he
absconded, and took with him several articles belonging to
the hospital. After an unlicensed absence of five months

blishment, which demand was refused.
