The death of this gentleman was occa-

others were carried there by Justice
Hyde, from the gambling table. In tho
first company he obtained, George Robt.
Fitzgerald was his lieutenant. As soon
as he got the rank Of major, he retired
upon half pay, and devoting himself to
deep play for ever after, he pursued it
with an esgerness and perseverance be

could not get out Of his chair, he has
been brought to the hazard table. when
The rafting at the dice seemed suddenly
to revive him. He once was winner of

Grand Cairo he narrowly escaped death,
by retrea,ing in Turkish dress to Smyr.

sent to Constantinople, where he was at
length released by the interference of sir
Robert Ans,ic, the English ambassador.
He won 5000 of MIR. o., some years

gland to get the money from lord -,
the father Of the Young man. Terms OF
accommodation were proposed by his
lordship in the presence OF Mr.. D.,
the banker, whose responsibility and cou-
sequence are we'll known. Lord O.
offered him thousand guineas, and a
note of hand Tor the remainder, at dis.
taDt period. Baggs wanted the whole to
be paid down. Some alteration ensued.
Mr.. D";hen observed that he thought
that his lordship had offered very hand.
