27. Suddenly at Outwill, in the Isle of Ely, Mr, John Hodson, an eminent farmer, aged 34 years. He has left a pregnant widow and four small children to lament his loss.

Education in that part of the kingdom is cheap and accessible to the lowest ranks. James Heseltine had no other than a common school education of a country village, which includes writing, arithmetic, and accounts. When young he was induced to try his fortune in the Metropolis, and came to London, recommended to a very ingenious builder, who is now dead. That person procured him a situation as domestic and clerk to the late Philip Crespigny, Esq. King's proctor, and a man of singular habits and benevolence. Young Heseltine became a favourite with his master, who brought him up to his very lucrative profession. After ascending through all the gradatious of the office, he was taken into partnership, a favour which he well repaid by his assiduity and integrity. On the commencement of the last war, to the surprize of every body, Mr. Crespigny gave up his place, then promisi a most abundant harvest to his partner, who has been known to acquire at some periods 20,000/ a-year, all King's prizes necessarily passing through his hands. Mr. Heseltine was introduced into the antient society of Free Masons by Mr. Crespigny, and served the office of Secretary to the Grand Lodge for many years, after which he was chosen Treasurer, which place he filled highly to the satisfaction of that body of men till his death.

He was a man of unassuming manners; indefatigable in his business; of upright principles; regular in his deportment; and forward

in promoting every benevolent object. He is said to have died worth 200,000, a striking instance of the effects of early industry, sobriety, and application.
