During the contest in Spain between the Queen and Don Carlos in 1836 and 1837, Captain Basset was employed in raising the siege of Bilboa; took part in the field actions of the 10th, 12th, 14th, 15th, and 16th March; assisted at the assault of the town of Hernani; and was present at the capitulation of Fontarabia. 28. At Exmouth, aged 80, Sir Codrington Edmund Carrington, knt., a bencher of the Middle Temple, D.C.L., F.R.S., and F.S.A. This gentlemen was called to the bar at the Middle Temple, Feb. 10, 1792, and soon afterwards repaired to Calcutta, where he was admitted an advocate of the Supreme Court of Judicature. Ill health obliged him to return to England in 1799, and he was then called upon to prepare a charter of justice for Ceylon. On the 19th March, 1801, he was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Judicature, and Judge of the Vice-Admiralty Court of that island; and he was knighted on the 24th June follow DEATHS.-1849. ing. While he held the office of Chief Justice he compiled from the Hindoo, Mussulman, and Dutch codes, the system of laws for Ceylon, by which the island is still governed. In 1805, ill health having compelled him to resign his appointment, he returned to England, purchased an estate in Buckinghamshire, and became a magistrate and deputy lieutenant of that county, where he acted for many years as chairman of the Quarter Sessions. In 1826 he was elected M.P. for St. Mawes, and sat until 1831. DECEMBER. 5. At the vicarage house of Llanrhaiadr Mochnant, in his 89th year, the Rev. Walter Davies, the incumbent of the parish, and also of Yspytty Ivan, both parishes being in the county of Denbigh, and diocese of St. Asaph. Mr. Davies was born on the 15th July, 1761, at a place called Wern, in the county of Montgomery, of parents in humble circumstances, and received a very limited education at a humble village school. Here, however, he exhibited such a desire for study, that he was looked upon as a village genius. When he arrived at riper years, the finances of his parents not allowing them to keep him any longer at school, he was obliged, in order to gain a maintenance, to have recourse to mechanical employment in the first instance, and subsequently he became a schoolmaster, and occasionally inscribed grave-stones. And thus he continued until his 29th year, taking advantage, however, of every spare hour he could obtain to improve his mind by reading such books as came in his way. The Cambrian Society of the Gwyneddigion in London, having, in the year 1790, offered a premium for the best Welsh Essay on Liberty, to be read at their Eisteddfod or literary meeting at St. Asaph, a subject to which at that time was attached great interest, Mr. Davies became a competitor; and, adducing the information which his diligence and extensive reading had supplied him with, his essay was adjudged to be the best of the rival compositions. studious character and literary merit becoming well known, and his desire to procure holy orders to enable him to proceed in his studies being communi His cated to his friends and acquaintance, they recommended and promoted his going to one of the Universities to obtain the requisite qualifications. Accordingly about the year 1791 he became a member of All Souls' College, Oxford; and, whilst there resident, held office at the Ashmolean Museum. This circumstance, with his close application to reading and study, induced him to remain at Oxford during all the vacations, as well as in term time; so that he did not return to his native district until after the number of years which the academical course required had terminated. Having received holy orders, be became curate of Meivod, Montgomeryshire, and in 1799 succeeded to the benefice of the perpetual curacy of Yspytty Ivan, in Denbighshire, and was removed thence to other better appointments. With respect to the attention paid to his merits by the several bishops who gave him preferment, he had the satisfaction of contemplating that they were voluntarily conferred on him without application. At the time he married he ranked already very high amongst the Welsh scholars and bards, having gained literary and poetical prizes at every one of the Eisteddfod meetings lately revived, excepting only those held in the years 1793 and 1794, during which time he and the Snowdon bard Dafydd Ddu Eryri were suspended from being competitors for bardic prizes, on the ground that, if admitted, they were almost certain to leave no chance of success to others. The renown which he thus had earned during the first half of his life he greatly increased during the second, preserving until his death not only his literary activity, but also his power of poetical composition. The prose writings of Mr. Davies consist, for the greater part, of prize essays, and contributions to magazines and other periodical publications, as "The Cambrian Register," "Cambro Briton,' "Cambrian Quarterly," "Y Greal " (Magazine), and "Y Gwyliedydd ' (Watchman), every one of which is indebted to him for some of the most valuable portion of its contents. He was also the author of "A General View of the Agriculture and Domestic Economy of North Wales and South Wales," in three volumes, 8vo., pubblished by order of the Board of Agriculture in 1813, 1815; a work full |
