      was conducted from hid sleeping cell to a solitary apartment , totally destitute of furniture—he not being ; 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 waft 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 , x > r to hold intercourse with any one , save his keepers . At the end of that time he

      -was , in consequence of the remonstrances of Councellor Scarlett , put on the same footing with his fellow prisoners . It was soon evident , however , that his health was dreadfully impaired—and though during the remainder of his confinement , he was treated with humanity , and was promoted to the confidential situation of

      acting clerk to the prison—he left Pres - ton at the expiration of the term of his imprisonment with a confirmed asthma , which yearly becoming more and more oppressive , for the last 12 months rendered the prolongation of existence a

      painful toil , and finally terminated his mortal career with acute suffering ; . The magistrate , in consequence of whose interposition Mr . . Lloyd was so harshly treated , has by a few moaths preceded his victim to that ** bourne * ' from

      had been more aud more strengthened ami confirmed ; that they had promoted his great happiness ia life , and given him unshaken , though humble , confidence , in the mercy , justice and goodness of the One only God . On his sick-bed , he was more than usually animated and eloquent ^ speaking to all who visited him of the

      unspeakable satisfaction he had derived from the opinions he bad adopted , and how bright they made his way as he approached the nearer to eternity . He further wished me to express his sentiments upon what we owe to the Great Founder of our Religion , the Prophet sent from God , the Messiah , the man Christ Jesus . Nice shades

      of difference he never entered into , as believing them not of that importance that some do , though he did not believe him to form any part or portion of the Indivisible , Omniscient Being ,

      who made heaven and earth and all things they contain , yet he thought our warmest gratitude , love , veneration and esteem , for all the good things he had done and suffered in his life , death and resurrection , for his brethren
