a _string of fish_ is one of the parcels which John Wilkes said, a
gentleman may carry. Munden was a willing diner-out, and his conviviality
made him a welcome guest at any board. His hospitality at home was

Whose blood and judgment are so well comingled
That they are not a pipe for fortune's finger
To sound what stop she please.

Mr. Munden has left a widow, a son, and a daughter to share his
well-earned fortune.

incident in the part of Nipperkin, in _Springs of Laurel_, or "Rival
Soldiers_".

[2] Oxberry appeared on the stage for the last time, this night, as
Corporal Foss.
