Notes


Physician, based in Newcastle, where he also served the infirmary. Died Newcastle 16 April 1788, aged 51 (Publications of the Surtees Society, Volume 12, p. 299). Percival Stockdale refers to him in The Memoirs of Percival Stockdale (London, 1809) as an accomplice in truanting from school, but says that he 'shortened his days by violent drinking', and 'that he was not sorry for this man's fate' because he was a keen cock-fighter, a sport which Stockdale abhorred for its cruelty (Vol 1, p. 93).
