The trial of Hart, for a similar offence, -was also
postponed, in consequence of the absence of a material
witness in the country.
Maria Loyd, who was indicted for a like offence, was
convicted on the second count of the indictment, which
charged her with keeping a disorderly house; but in

Ratcliffe was so great a Tot y, that he never could be
persuaded to buy into the Funds during the Whig Ad,
ministration of his day, because, as he said, he would
