worthy of remark, Mr. flarvey had, a short time

his house, the former of which the frame-breakers
took away ; and as they were descending from the

that the nightly piquet was receiving (hem to conduct
them to prison : but it turned out to be about t 5 of

EFFECTS OF LEGAL OPPRESSION.

On the Sth ult. died at Wootton, Mr. Thomas
Lloyd, assistant teacher at the Rev. W. Shepherd's
school. He was a man of siegislatly extensive ac-
quirements. being well versed in the Latin, French,
and Italian languages, and possessitte a tolerable ac-
quaintance with the German and the Greek. • In ma-
. thematics he was prolousely skilled. His integrity
was unimpeachable, and. Isis manners were .at Mice
simple and cheerful. About I I years ago the exer-
cise of his poetic talent unfortunately became to him
the fruitfel source of distress, and in its tonse-
! quenees brought him to an untimely end. Har-
ing composed a song Which mass pronounced, by
a Jury of his country,' to. be seditious, he was
sentenced to suffer two ye ers imprisonment, and
to pay a fine of 501. Soon after he was conveved to
the house of Correction, at Predo'n, which was ap-
I pointed as the place of his confinement, Isis brothel,
addressed to him t letter, in which he expressed him.
self iu terms of strand indignation at the result of bis
trial. This letter wasopened by the jailor, and by
him transmitted to a MagiStratearho, instead of pro-
ceeding against the writer, viva orders that the un-
conscious prisoner, to whom it was addressed, should
be put into close confinement. These orders were
but too well obeyed.' Every morning Mr. Lloyd
was conducted from his sleeping cell to a soli-
tary apartment, totally destitute of furniture—
he net tieing allowed even a chair to sit on ;
nor any book except the book of Common Prayer.
Here he was locked up till bed-time, when he was
carefully guarded back to his place of rest. This
process lasted for six months, during which time he
was on no occasion suffered to quit his day room, to
open the only window of his apartment, or to hold
intercourse with nny one, save-Isis keepers. At the
end of that time he was, in conseqeence of the re.
monstrances of Counsellor Scarlett, put on the same
footing with his fellow-prisoners. It was soon evi-'
dent, however, that Isis health was dreadfully im-
paired—and though, daring the remainder of his con-
finement, he was treated with humanity, and was
promoted to the confidential situation of acting clerk
to the prison—he left Preston at the expiration of
the term of his imprisonment with a confirmed
asthma, which yearly •becoming more and more
oppressive, for the last It months rendered the
prolongation of existence.a painful toil, and finally
terminated his mortal career with acute suffering.
The Magistrate, in consequence of-whose interposi-
tion Mr., Lloyd was so harshly treated, has by a few
months preceded his victim to that " bourne from
whence no traveller veturtss." In this circum-
dame he was fortunate; for had he lived to read this
record of the mischief which he has done, its perusal
would, in all probability, have by uo means tended
to dissipate the horrors of the grave.
