I THE PILLAR ON LINCOLN. • •
upon which a colossal statue of George the Third
has lately been placed, .was bUilt in the year 1751,
by a spirited individual (Sir Francis Dashwoo(l),
. who dedicated 'it to public use. It stands inA,
parish of Dunstan,. and is a square pillar, encorn7t,
passing 'a flight of steps, y 2 feet high. Until with
in a few year, it had at the top a lantern, I.'; feet
and a half ' high, for the reception 01.,which. the
struEtUre was designed.—The lantern' was, lighted
up at night, and served as a beacon to -trayeller4
over the dreary and extensive heath. As, .soon as
the eircumjAcent tract began,, by inclosures and:the
formation of good roads, to ,lose sornething of its
wildness, the lighting of the'lantern:was.discOntinu-•
ed ; and for about 3o years flitt-pilOr has been .ot no
use, beyond that of perpetuating public admiration
of the liberal spirit of the founder,--The estate up-
oniwhich it stands is now the_property of.the Earl
of Buckinghamshire ; and his Lordship has put the
column to a' noble use, by placing, in the part
lately occupied' by the lantern, an extremely well
finished colossal -statue of our venerable King. It
ha's been -executed by Coade, in artificial stone;
measures 14 feet :in height, and stands upon .a pe-
destal.f 1.5 feet, yet the :teatnreS attire statue areper-
fectly .distinguishable, and jiaVe'.6Cen adMired by
many hundreds of visitors. His Majesty stands
erect; crowne t, with a sceptre in his right hand.
To the western quarter'ot the piliar, (two' feet
above a shoit Latin Inscription of Sir 'Francis,,
'Dashwood),is 'affixed .a tablet; with the kollow-
mg
• . " The statue upon this Pillar'
was er.ctett tk. D. • • 'l'4 ,"
By Robert Earl of Buckinghamshire,
to commemorate the loth anniversary
of the reign of his Majesty
King George the Thigd."

A few days, since au inquest was taken at Ports-
mouth",On the body of Sarah Crawford, who, there
is presumptive. reason, to believe, poured boiling lead
down her throat to effect her Wtien.:trie-
dical, assistance. was called to visit her, .she was
found insane, her. moulh and. part of her, tongne
if) a • stale of •- mortification (which prevented
her taking medicines), and tier • daughter ex-
pressed her fears that her mother had swallowed
melted solder, which might
.be the cause of it, as She
had found a pipe in the chimney corner with liom.
solder in it. She died the next day. The Jury
returned a verdict of Insanity,, and that
,the cause
of her death was the mortification in- her throat.—
The husband of the poor woman walked into tke sea
at Sontbsea Common, last Summer,- and di owned
himself ! •
