SIR WILLIAM STAINES. 413
ped down the animal’s throat. The above facts have
been attested on oath, before W* R. Cartwright, Esq. of
Aynho, in Northamptonshire.
Facts of this kind are doubtlessly more easy of expla-
nation when they respect pointed bodies, capable of
piercing the tunics of the stomach, and insinuating them-
selves on different sides, according to the directions they
receive from the movements of the body ; but still it will
always be surprising, and difficult to be accounted for,,
that pins, needles, and other bodies of this species, should
traverse the stomach and penetrate every where else,
without other accidents than those which occur if, at
length, they become engaged in the muscular parts, or in
the vessels, whence they cannot escape.
Some Account of Sir William Staines, Alderynan,
and late Lord Mayor of London, zeith his Portrait,
including the Vicissitudes of his early Life, and his gra-
dual Progress through various Degrees of Fortune pre-
ceding' his Advancement to the highest of all Civic Ho-
no urs.
JL he benevolent character of Sir William Staines having
often been the subject of much - conversation among a
very large circle of the public, we have presumed that,
in collecting but a small portion of his history into one
point of view, we should not only gratify our readers,
but promote and extend that general approbation which
is at all times one of the rewards of merit, besides hand-
ing down to posterity a subject of laudable emulation and
an encouraging instance of what can be effected by per-
severance without the assistance of large capitals, or any
extraordinary gifts of fortune.
