much hurt who replied "My dear Jemmy I am afraid I am
done for"That this Informant supported him in his Arms towards
the Rails at which time he observed Mr.. Allen walking in the
Road and Mrs.. Morris near the Rails, going from them. That

which Mr.. Morris Promised to do. That after this a Gentleman
in a single horse Phaeton took up the said Mr.. Delany at

presence. That Mr. Delany languished till the Friday following
