He wrote to say that he would be there in a day or two; at the same time thanking Mr Selwin for his kind attention to his poor nephew, and requesting that no expense might be spared. When my uncle arrived, which he did in his own chariot, the crisis of the fever was over; but I was still in a state of stupor arising from extreme debility.
Selwin told him it was out of his power to help him, and bade him farewell "which," added he, "he did; for he found means to escape punishment." Dodd, in his Dedication of this Sermon to Mr. Villette, the Ordinary of Newgate, says: 'The following address owes its present public appearance to you. You heard it delivered, and are pleased to think that its publication will be useful.
Selwin, who just missed being elected Chamberlain of the City, went by request to see a man under sentence of death in Newgate, 'who informed him that he was in daily expectation of the arrival of the warrant for his execution; "but," said he, "I have £200, and you are a man of character, and had the court-interest when you stood for Chamberlain; I should therefore hope it is in your power to get me off."
I shall not be satisfied unless I am with him night and day." Of course, Mr Selwin raised no objections, putting down all to my uncle's regard for me; and my clothes were put on me, as I lay in a state of insensibility, and I was lifted into the chariot. It is most wonderful that I did not die from being thus taken out of my bed in such a state, but it pleased Heaven that it should be otherwise.
